Elon Musk’s Tesla has seen sales drop for the fifth consecutive month across the UK as the carmaker continues to face a troubling year. According to new data, Tesla sales fell by more than 33 per cent in the UK last month as drivers show unwillingness to back Musk’s brand.

Tesla sales across Europe plunged by half last month even as growth in the electric car market picked up pace. That's according to fresh data released Tuesday.
