  • Tesla's electric vehicle sales have fallen to a three-year low, with a 14 per cent drop in customer deliveries during the second quarter.
  • Analysts attribute the decline in demand for Tesla vehicles to Elon Musk's allegiance to US President Donald Trump, leading to protests and boycotts.
  • Concerns over brand reputation and intensifying competition in key markets like China and Europe have further dampened Tesla's sales.
  • The Cybertruck, despite production plans for over 250,000 units annually, recorded only about 5,000 sales between April and June.
  • Tesla's closest rival, Chinese manufacturer BYD, saw its electric vehicle sales hit a new high in June, with over 1 million units sold in 2025.
