Tesla Again Posts Steep Monthly Sales Declines Across Europe

Tesla Inc. posted some of its steepest sales declines this year in European markets, where the Elon Musk-led automaker is mired in a protracted slump.

The most pronounced drop reported thus far was in Sweden, where Tesla registered only 133 new cars last month, down 89% from a year ago, according to the nation’s auto manufacturers’ association. Sales fell roughly by half in Norway, the Netherlands and Italy, and by almost a third in Spain.
