Tesla sales and production slumped heavily in Q1 2025
- Thread starter JournalBot
- Start date
13% is a good start. Let's do better though, and keep the protests going. Make the Tesla brand a social pariah.

Generally nice looking cars with excellent electric performance numbers. Sales should have continued to grow. Something changed. I wonder what that could possibly be?

-60% in the Netherlands. I first thought that there was a bit of a seasonal up-and-down going on, but 60% is clearly a structural decline. I'm sure lots of potential buyers are looking at the increasing number of alternatives.

Question: how much of the decline represents orders made during a previous quarter? e.g. does it include the sales drops reported for jan/feb/march or will that come out in the Q2 report?

If Elon will give $1,000,000 to rando voters in Wisconsin. Who's to say he wouldn't pitch a few bucks to the analysts who recommend the stock?

Question for the more knowledgeable folks - what does "deliveries" mean in the context of Tesla? Is that the number of cars sold? Or the cars sent to dealers? I know Tesla has a different sales methodology than other carmakers.

Good. Friends don't let friends buy Tesla.
I hope the shortsellers makes a killing (and with a p/e of 120+ that should happen any minute now).

The sad thing is that every buyer of sp500 is buying this too - retirement funds and individual 401k savers etc. It all means that the share price will drop but not as much as the underlying fundamentals would suggest

Or threaten them if they don't recommend it. Genuinely wouldn't put that past him.

We had protestors lined up in front of the local dealership last weekend. A few on the other side of the street too. Likely over 100 people? It extended past the Tesla dealership and into the parkways of a couple other neighboring properties. Will see how committed they are, but seems to be effective?

It tells you how much of a bubble I'm in when my expectations were that they were going to sell basically no cars.

It's a meme stock now, he doesn't have to bribe analysts. People buying are looking forward to the world-shattering profits generated by

Sales are absolutely free falling in the EU and Chinese EVs are ascendant both domestically in China and globally. They really only have the US at this point and who knows how long that continues to last. They built their entire business on global warming concerned liberals buying up their cars and now that they've alienated that entire user base they basically have to rely on conservatives picking up the slack and I don't know how much of a chance there is of that happening.

I mean, the first bit isn't really true. They lack a lot of features most other cars have, they have a dangerous ADAS suite, the build quality is shit, and they got caught lying about their range and efficiency.

Investors don’t care because they’re still huffing Muskfarts for some reason and Musk has declared that Tesla is now an AI and robotics company that’s going to launch The Next Big Thing any day, week, month, year, decade (delete according to level of personal self-delusion) now.

Tesla has no dealerships, those are cars it has taken money for and handed over to a customer.

Just remember, Space Nazi Karen has decided that there's no difference between protesting Tesla and individual acts of vandalism. You're participating in a wide-ranging conspiracy of domestic terrorists if you don't encourage your friends to run out and purchase Musk's main means of attempting to buy out democracy.

I would love to see weekly sales data (not that Tesla will ever provide it). Trump didn't get into office until late January and DOGE didn't get the major backlash until a few weeks after that. I would be curious what that salea graph looked like in the first 2 weeks of January versus last 2 weeks of March.

Yes, there were, but I think I will get more into that when the Q1 financials come out.

Apropos of nothing, but it always makes me smile a little when Musk uses Military terminology like he's some kind of supreme strategos, when in fact he's a guy that cheats at video games and can't remember how the horsey ones move in chess.
Edit: Ok, I fucked up the quoting there, but you get what I mean...

For me, I expected him to be able to keep selling. I just expected negative margins by now. Any day now though. He is going to be paying people to take them soon enough.

What I'd be interested to see, would be a comparison of just March sales for 2024 and 2025, rather than the whole of the quarter. The reason being that Melon head's antics regarding DOGE were in high gear by then, so the "Elon effect" wouldn't have been as strong for the whole of the quarter, as for just the last month.
Oh well, only another 3 months and we can see an entire quarter affected by his offensive and plain dangerous activities. That could make for even more interesting reading, than this last quarter's numbers.

I know this was /s but I do believe it to be true. At some point, Tesla probably did have over a million pre-orders. But you have to remember it was announced and pre-orders started in 2019. Five-plus years ago.
But after all the claims about exoskeleton chassis and $40,000 price tag were found to be BS, and Elon going off the deep end, well, not a lot of people have shown up to claim their pre-order.

Clearly a lot of people in the US are still buying Teslas and I want to know — who are these people?
