Tesla, which is due to reveal its total sales for 2025 later on Friday, last week published analyst’s estimates suggesting that it had sold around 1.65 million vehicles for the year as a whole.
The US firm has faced a tough year with a mixed reception to new offerings, unease over Musk’s political activities and intensifying competition from Chinese rivals.

I use to want one of those Plaid Model S and I was even interested in the Cybertruck when first announced. Elon’s lies and his fascist fuckery deleted Tesla from consideration for ever. I got a BMW i4 M50 instead.
Yes, China is competing on price but it is Elon’s fuckery that has hurt Tesla the most.
As A Guy hating Musk with all my heart, I have mixed feelings about these news. In one hand, I love seeing the rat loose leverage on important markets for tesla. On the other hand, the one they are loosing to, is fucking china, which I am hating only a little less… EU manufactures needs to step up!
I wish. 😕
BMW and Volkswagen just lobbied the EU to delay the death of combustion engines, and… the EU went for it.
Meanwhile Chinese auto companies keep on improving their tech, so I can’t possibly see how this is any good. We are just getting even more behind on the EV competition.
Some more info:
It is not quite that bleak. They went from 100% EV for all new car sales in 2035, to 90% EVs and 10% being allowed as combustion engine cars.
That 10%'s emissions also has to be offset by EVs sold. And they are introducing a new M1E category for cars that needs to be Electric, European-built, and under 4.2 meters in length (Volkswagen Golf or smaller essentially). Each M1E car sold will count for 1.3 regular cars sold in terms of offset.
So essentially Europe is dangling a carrot to produce small, European-made EVs for the car manufacturers. And car manufacturers still need to produce 90% of their cars as EVs
Thanks for that perspective
Unfortunately they didn’t limit the height so they’ll probably just make more of the same hideous lumbering crap.
It is not quite that bleak
yet… what’s stopping them from going even lower in the next run?
Isn’t it “just” delayed untill 2035?
Tesla’s stock is expected to rise again.
Tesla sales dive 75%, Tesla stock rises.
Tesla sales dive less rapidly, Tesla stock also rises.
Elon says the most inane shit he’s uttered in 48 hours? Believe it or not: Tesla stock rises.
None of this shit makes sense anymore
Actually, it makes perfect sense if you believe the stock market is a huge grift.
proof stocks are about a certain category of peoples’ feelings
Ketamine’s a hell of a drug!
I hate Tesla 🤮
