Tesla Slashes UK Lease Prices Amid Sales Decline
Tesla has dramatically reduced monthly lease fees for its electric vehicles in the UK, cutting prices by nearly half compared to last year. The MOVE comes as the automaker faces a steep sales slump, with July registrations dropping 60% to just 987 units.
Industry sources reveal Tesla is offering leasing companies discounts of up to 40% to clear inventory. Storage constraints at UK facilities have compounded the pressure to move vehicles. The broader UK auto market saw a 5% annual decline in July, though electric vehicle adoption continues to grow - now forecast to comprise 23.8% of new registrations by 2025.
