Tesla's German car sales fall though wider EV sales jump

NEW YORK, Oct 06 (Reuters): Tesla's sales volume in Germany fell by 9.4 per cent in September, the German road traffic agency KBA said on Monday, although overall sales of battery electric vehicles rose by 31.9 per cent year on year.

Registrations of new Tesla cars had risen in parts of Europe in September, lifted by its updated Model Y. But the US electric vehicle maker continues to face pressure from growing competition, political backlash against CEO Elon Musk and an ageing lineup.

KBA said Tesla sold 3,404 cars in Germany in September.
