# British media: Tesla is forced to offer up to a 40% discount to UK car rental companies

> The British newspaper The Times quoted industry sources reporting that American electric vehicle manufacturer Tesla was forced to offer discounts of up to 40% to UK car rental companies, based on the company's lack of storage space for vehicles in the UK, necessitating the transfer of more cars to digest inventory.

Last month, Tesla's sales in the UK fell by about 60% year-on-year to 987 vehicles, while new car registrations in the UK fell by about 5% during the same period. This year, 23.8% of newly registered vehicles in the UK are battery electric vehicles
