Tesla faces serious problems with car sales that keep getting worse each month. Elon Musk wants to change his company from making electric cars to building robots and smart computer systems. The switch would help Tesla earn more money and fix damage from Musk's political activities. European car buyers bought 28 percent more electric vehicles during April compared to last year. Tesla sold 49 percent fewer cars across Europe during the same time period.
Musk claims all car companies struggle with weak European markets. The numbers prove his statements wrong about the car industry. Electric car sales jumped 28 percent across the United Kingdom during May. Tesla only sold 1,758 cars in Britain, which represents a 45 percent drop from last...
