Maybe not the Model 3, but the model S has replaced a lot of the Mercedeses that used to dominate the taxi fleet in Amsterdam.

It's entirely possible that Germany is more conservative than Amsterdam, though.

The taxi driver I spoke to about it told me they were using Teslas because they had gotten an agreement for free charging. I believe this has since changed though (this was almost four years ago).

This was mostly due to a tax incentive if I remember correctly.
