Tesla sales dips 13% in Q1 as Musk’s controversies weigh on demand

Tesla experienced a 13% decline in sales in the first quarter of 2025, with global deliveries dropping to 336,681 units. The decrease is due to an aging vehicle line-up, growing competition, and backlash from CEO Elon Musk’s political stance. Incentives offered were insufficient to meet analysts’ expectations of 408,000 deliveries.
