“With the developments in car autonomy and the introduction of recent merchandise, we count on the car enterprise to return to progress in 2025.”
After a horrible first quarter, throughout which its car deliveries declined by 13%, Tesla started to shrink back from predicting progress in 2025. As a substitute, it acknowledged that it will replace its steerage after reporting Q2 2025 outcomes.

Electrek’s Take
Tesla is mendacity by its tooth right here, and it’s onerous to look at. It’s blaming present difficulties on every little thing however the true wrongdoer: Elon Musk.
The rationale Tesla’s deliveries are down 13% this 12 months isn’t as a result of international commerce and financial insurance policies, power provide chains, or the “macroeconomic atmosphere.” It’s as a result of Tesla’s demand is collapsing over model injury attributable to Elon Musk.
You solely have to take a look at the truth that EV gross sales are surging globally.
EV gross sales are doing nice. Tesla isn’t. Subsequently, it’s not the macroeconomics though these may turn into problematic quickly.
