Drudge Retort: The Other Side of the News
Thursday, April 03, 2025

Tesla sales plunged 13% in the first three months of this year, the largest drop in deliveries in its history, as backlash against CEO Elon Musk and growing competition took a large bite out of demand for its EVs. Tesla reported Wednesday that it delivered 336,681 cars in the quarter, 50,000 fewer vehicles compared to the first three months of last year. The results were the company's worst sales in nearly three years. Tesla has faced protests outside its showrooms from those opposed to the actions of Musk in one of his other roles as the head of the Department of Government Efficiency, and the policies of Donald Trump's presidential administration. There have also been instances of vandalism against Tesla facilities, including its charging stations, as well as some cars. All these incidents may have discouraged some potential Tesla buyers from going ahead with their purchases.

Is it a backlash against Mr Musk?

Or is it an indication that the Tesla shareholders think that Mr Musk has abandoned Tesla for his chain-saw-enabled duties in DOGE?

Or a combination of the above?

I agree with the previous comment on the previous thread, that a measly 13% drop is very sad commentary on America's soul.

On the other hand, America is a country that not only is more reliant on cars than any other country, but has fewer choices of cars than any other modern country.

So there are some adjustments to be made here, to compare the USA to the rest of the world, in terms of car culture.

If BYD was available Tesla would drop to zero.

'The left will always, eventually, resort to violence. threats of violence, or glorification of violence to advance their agenda. Always.'
