Tesla Faces Mounting Challenges as Sales and Stock Plummet

Declining sales, political polarization, and policy risks threaten Tesla's dominance in the EV market.

  • Tesla's stock has dropped nearly 50% since December 2024, losing over $500 billion in market value.
  • Global sales have sharply declined, including a 49% drop in Europe during the first two months of 2025.
  • Elon Musk's role in the Trump administration has alienated liberal consumers, with trade-ins of Tesla vehicles reaching record levels.
  • Conservative support for Tesla, including endorsements from Donald Trump, has not translated into significant new sales.
  • Potential threats to EV tax credits under the Republican-led legislature could further impact Tesla's pricing and competitiveness.
