Latest car sales figures reveal a torrid time for Tesla, with May sales down 36 per cent on the same month last year. Meanwhile, Tesla rival Polestar – now with a full range of three models on sale in the UK rather than just the one last year – has seen registrations jump by over 273 per cent year-on-year.
Speaking exclusively to The Independent, Polestar’s UK managing director Matt Galvin said “we’re getting a lot of Tesla drivers coming into our Polestar showrooms to drive our product and we're converting them at a fairly high rate as well.
