Tesla Inc.’s European sales slump carried over into the new year, with registrations plummeting in two of the region’s leading markets for battery-electric vehicles.

The carmaker’s French sales fell 42% last month to just 661 cars, the lowest in more than three years, the country’s auto association known as PFA said Sunday. In Norway — a lonely market in Europe where Tesla fared well last year — registrations plunged 88% in January.
