Musk steers Tesla toward a dim future

Tesla’s first-quarter sales in 2025 fell a hefty 13% year over year—and in a climate where global electric vehicle sales are increasing. For comparison, General Motors saw 94% growth in first-quarter EV sales, and Ford was up 12%.

Tesla is blaming the retooling of its Model Y compact SUV but given that Tesla didn’t sell all the vehicles it produced (362,615 manufactured and 336,681 delivered), it’s clear that the company’s problems weren’t supply. It’s a demand issue.

Want more deliciously bad Tesla news?

Tesla sold only 17,161 vehicles in its “other” category, which includes the expensive Model X and Model S vehicles as well as … that Cybertruck monstrosity.
