MADRID (Reuters) - Tesla's new car sales rose 34% in March from the same month in 2024 to 1.983, registration data released by industry group ANFAC showed on Tuesday, though the company's sales during the whole quarter fell 12%.

The March increase has partly offset sales declines in the previous two months, ANFAC data showed.

Over the first three months, sales of electrified vehicles, a category that includes both EVs and hybrids, were up 47% from the same period a year ago.

Tesla faces challenges in Europe with its smaller, ageing lineup, while traditional automaker rivals and Chinese newcomers alike continue to launch new, often cheaper electric models.

Tesla CEO Elon Musk has also stirred controversy by courting far-right parties in Europe, which has added to Tesla's sales slump.
