Tesla’s sales in France fell year-on-year for a third consecutive month in March, contributing to the lowest first-quarterly sales figures in the country since 2021 for Elon Musk’s electric car brand, data showed on Tuesday.
The billionaire CEO, a close ally of US President Donald Trump, has stirred controversy by courting far-right parties in Europe, which has added to Tesla’s sales slump ahead of the much-anticipated launch of its new Model Y mid-size SUV.
Tesla registered in March 3,157 car sales in France, a 36.83 per cent drop from last year, for a total of 6,693 car registrations in the first quarter, data from French car body PFA showed.
Its market share in the country dropped to 1.63 per cent in the quarter ending March, and lost ground to brands not accounted for by the PFA, including BYD and other Chinese EV makers, whose total share of the market rose to 3.19 per cent.
