- New Tesla sales fell in Germany, Australia, China and elsewhere
- Model 3 and model prices have also dropped in the United States
- Web searches for electric vehicles used is also far from Tesla
Whatever your political persuasion, it is difficult to move away from the fact that Tesla has a difficult time for the moment, sales of new cars of up to 76.6% in certain markets for months of reason.
According to Carscoops, Tesla sales in Norway fell from 44.4% to January and February, in Germany, where the now sadly famous salvation of Musk undoubtedly reached the hardest, sales fell 76.3% in February compared to the same period in 2024.
The image seems even darker if we consider that in the Norwegian and German markets, the overall adoption of electric vehicles has continued to increase, sales in Germany climbing 30.8% in February, and the Norwegian electric vehicle market by 53.4% since the start of the year.
Tesla Diehards wishes to emphasize that the model updated there probably has something to do with this, because customers postpone the purchase of news and wait for this car to arrive in key markets, such as China, Australia and a large part of continental Europe in the coming weeks.
Whether or not it is a general decrease in consumer demand for Tesla products, or customers who hold for updated products, it is difficult to ignore the fact that these price accidents also occur on the market used.
According to Forbes, the average price of a used Y model in the United States has dropped more than $ 6,000 in the last 12 months to around $ 30,000 this month, according to the data it has received from used cargurus car experts.
The same thing happens to 3 older and higher models, which, according to Forbes, can now be picked up for less than $ 15,000, making it a real second -hand business for the first buyers of electric vehicles.
But the anti-TESLA feeling that is filled in the United States at the moment may well see the persistent stocks on the forecourt of used cars longer, because buyers actively choose to move away from the brand.
In the United States, some Tesla owners have even used rival automobile badges on their vehicles in order to disguise them.
This behavior is contagious and has an impact on the overall demand for Musk’s product, with research on the web of Tesla vehicles down 7% in February, compared to the same period of last year, while research for other used electric vehicles increased by 28%, according to Davide Greene, an industry analyst who spoke in Forbes.
Large names light Tesla
With continuous threats of demonstrations and even violent actions among Tesla dealers, the brand’s prospects are not pink at the moment. And to worsen things, some great defenders of Tesla turn their backs on Tesla.
Recently, Apple’s co -founder Steve Wozniak said Tesla is “the worst in the world” with regard to the user interface, citing the fact that constant updates of the infotainment system have made it “miserable” experience, according to Fortune.
Wozniak has been an early defender of Musk, praising the entrepreneur and publicly revealing his love for his model S. Similarly, renowned celebrities, such as Sheryl Crow, have publicly farewell to their teslas in recent months.
A Hollywood Reporter 2024 article said that “Hollywood could not abandon its teslas fairly quickly”, quoting numerous industry experts who experienced the demand for Musk electric vehicles diving from a top of all time 10 years ago because it loses market share in Audi, BMW, Mercedes-Benz and new relative arrivals like Polestar.
However, some investors believe that the Rafashed model will see Tesla’s change of fortune, since the model has historically explained a large part of the company’s global sales.
This Reddit position offers an evaluation an optimistic more optimistic of Tela’s fortune compared to the boost that the company arrives elsewhere in the press for the moment, but only time will tell us if the damage of the brand of Elon have been permanent or not.
