Investing.com -- In April, Tesla’s new car sales in the United Kingdom (TADAWUL:4280) dropped by 62% year-on-year, hitting their lowest point in over two years, according to data released by New AutoMotive on Tuesday.

The automaker sold only 536 new vehicles in April, a significant decrease from the 1,404 sold in the same month of 2024.

Meanwhile, the registration of battery-electric cars in the U.K. rose by 6.9% in April, a slower growth rate than the previous month due to broader economic conditions, according to New AutoMotive.
