Sales of Tesla electric cars fell sharply in the last three months as boycotts over Elon Musk's political views continue to keep buyers away, a significant development given expectations that anger with the company's billionaire CEO would have faded by now.
The company reported a 13% plunge in sales on Wednesday, in another sign that Musk's previous support of US President Donald Trump and far-right politicians in Europe has had a deep and enduring hit to Tesla's brand appeal.
