For quite some time, Tesla has been a favorite among the automobile industry. This electric car maker was seen as fashionable and modern until very lately, while its rivals were often regarded as antiquated and classic. Every rival envied Tesla’s exploding sales and stock price; the once-exclusive, now-accessible Supercharger network was – and probably still is the top charging system worldwide; and this vehicle maker is fast to introduce new innovations others either would not or could not.
Though Tesla cars have historically had several advantages, it seems the first excitement may finally be fading. Released second quarter 2025 Tesla sales statistics are slowing and disheartening. Tesla manufactured 410,244 cars globally during this quarter and delivered 384,122, which is without question a respectable number. Still, this overall looks rather less remarkable when contrasted with the comparable period last year. Tesla sales have decreased overall by 13% in comparison to the second quarter of 2024, indicating a rather dramatic drop.
With barely 10,394 units, the category called other models, which probably covers the cumulative Tesla sales of the Model S four-door, Model X SUV, Model Y and the Cybertruck pickup, is much smaller.
In the first quarter of 2025, we saw a similar drop, with Tesla sales said to have dropped 13%. Moreover, the carmaker delivered roughly 1.8 million automobiles last year, a performance almost identical to that of 2023, therefore showing that Tesla has lost the showroom momentum it had enjoyed for years. Between 2017 and 2023, deliveries rose very sharply.
Every excellent thing finally comes to an end, and Tesla may have reached the saturation point of customers considering an electric car and ready to drive a Muskmobile. Additionally, much of the manufacturer’s lineup feels a little obsolete, which might deter possible purchasers. Although the Model 3 and Model Y have recently been revised, the changes made to these automobiles were relatively modest.
