With the ongoing Tesla Takedown protests across the United States and Europe, the sales of the Elon Musk-owned EV company in France and Sweden have fallen for the third consecutive month in March on a year-on-year basis, resulting in the lowest first-quarter sales in the two countries since 2021, according to a report by Reuters.
The world’s richest man and US President Donald Trump’s close aide Musk has received flak over supporting far-right parties in Europe. This has contributed to low sales of Tesla cars before the much-anticipated launch of its new Model Y mid-size SUV, the report said.
