Tesla's new car sales in Britain rose year-on-year in June amid a broader recovery in the electric-vehicle market, data showed on Friday, as the U.S. auto maker started deliveries of its updated Model Y last month.

Tesla Inc. saw its first increase in vehicle deliveries from its Shanghai factory this year, with the US automaker potentially buoyed by the clearance of regulatory hurdles for its advanced driver-assistance features.

Tesla, the electric-vehicle maker led by Elon Musk, saw global sales drop 13.5%, marking the second consecutive quarter with double-digit declines.
