Tesla’s California EV Sales Drop for Seventh Straight Quarter

The number of new Tesla Inc. vehicles registered in California fell once again as the company continued to lose ground in the largest US market for electric vehicles.

A total of 41,138 Teslas were registered in the state last quarter, a 21% drop year over year and the company’s seventh straight quarterly decline, the California New Car Dealers Association said Tuesday. Tesla’s tumble exceeded the 13% dip in total zero-emission vehicle registrations in the state during the same period.
