July 18 (Reuters) - Registrations of Tesla (TSLA.O), opens new tab cars in
California fell 24% in the April to June period, marking the third consecutive
quarter that the company posted a sales drop in its key market, indicating
mounting challenges for the EV maker, according to industry data on Thursday.
High interest rates and stiff competition have softened demand for electric
vehicles as consumers opt for less-expensive hybrid cars.

Potential Tesla customers in the United States have been shying away from buying
its electric cars, partly due to CEO Elon Musk's polarizing persona.
Musk's embrace of Republicans and outspoken comments have sparked concerns about
Tesla's brand, especially in liberal states such as California, which accounts
for 10% of the company's global deliveries.
The world's richest man publicly endorsed former President Donald Trump for the
first time in the U.S. presidential race after the assassination attempt on the
Republican candidate on Saturday.

Tesla's California registrations fell to 52,211 vehicles in the second quarter,
according to a report by the California New Car Dealers Association.
The battery electric vehicle market slipped only 1.3% during the period. In
contrast, sales of hybrid vehicles surged 22% in California.
"Tesla's allure seems to be wearing off, signaling potential trouble for the
direct-to-consumer manufacturer," the report said.

From January to June, Tesla saw its registrations in California slump 17%, even

The electric-vehicle maker's Model Y crossover continues to be the best-selling
model in the state, but its market share in the first half of the year fell to
53.4%, from 64.6% in the year-ago period.

In 2021, Tesla moved its headquarters from California to Texas, and Musk said
this week his other companies such as Space X and X will follow suit over his
disagreement with Governor Gavin Newsom's approval of a bill on transgender
kids.
