Musk steers Tesla towards a dim future

Musk steers Tesla towards a dim future
SHARE

Tesla’s first-quarter gross sales in 2025 fell a hefty 13% 12 months over 12 months—and in a local weather the place international electrical car gross sales are growing. For comparability, Normal Motors noticed 94% development in first-quarter EV gross sales, and Ford was up 12%.

Tesla is blaming the retooling of its Mannequin Y compact SUV, however provided that Tesla didn’t promote all of the automobiles it produced (362,615 manufactured and 336,681 delivered), it’s clear that the corporate’s issues weren’t provide. It’s a requirement situation. 


Protesters shout at a Tesla Cybertruck earlier than a city corridor with Elon Musk on March 30, 2025, in Inexperienced Bay, Wisconsin.

Tesla offered solely 17,161 automobiles in its “other” class, which incorporates the costly Mannequin X and Mannequin S automobiles in addition to … that Cybertruck monstrosity. 

Tesla CEO Elon Musk, who features as co-president to Donald Trump, as soon as claimed 1 million Cybertruck reservations and that Tesla could be promoting 250,000 per 12 months. Since getting into manufacturing in November 2023, Tesla has offered barely greater than 46,000 items, in line with a latest Cybertruck recall. For comparability, in 2024, Honda offered that many CR-Vs in six weeks, in line with Motor Development. The Cybertruck is a flop.

And issues will definitely be even worse as soon as Tesla proclaims its monetary outcomes for the reason that firm closely discounted its automobiles to maneuver stock, which ought to eat into its margins. 

Bizarrely, its inventory value was up almost 5% after the announcement. Apparently, traders anticipated worse numbers. Regardless of that, the inventory has fallen 44% from its all-time excessive, in the course of December.

Tesla’s price-to-earnings ratio—the sum of money traders pay for each $1 in earnings—is estimated to be 115.72 for 2025, in line with the Nasdaq Composite. Ratios like that occur when traders count on large development. However what occurs when there isn’t any development? What occurs when gross sales and income begin falling? 

For context, evaluate that Tesla to 2025 estimates for Apple (30.74), Microsoft (29.26), and Alphabet/Google (17.83), or for main automobile firms like Ford (7.42), Honda (6.72), or Normal Motors (4.11). As soon as traders determine that Tesla inventory is not a development inventory, neglect it. 

That’s why Musk has all types of schemes to justify Tesla’s sky-high valuations. There’s the robo-taxi service that’s speculated to roll out this June in Austin. Tesla introduced a Cybercab that received’t go into manufacturing till 2026 (that timeline will certainly slip), after which there are these creepy robotic issues. 

However who lives in Austin? Liberals. Why would they use Tesla’s automobile service once they might use Uber/Lyft or Waymo’s self-driving cabs? (Waymo is an Alphabet firm, and their automobiles are a pleasure to trip in.) In truth, all of Tesla’s potential robo-taxi enlargement cities are liberal outposts. Except for getting operator licenses from hostile metropolis governments, what sort of market does Tesla look forward to finding as Trump actively undermines every part these liberals care about? Good luck launching Tesla robo-taxis within the exurban and rural locations the place conservatives are inclined to reside. 

Tesla’s model popularity is now comically dangerous. Based on YouGov’s brand-reputation tracker, Tesla is now the second-to-last automobile firm, with solely 9% of U.S. adults saying they’d contemplate shopping for one. For comparability, 39% would contemplate shopping for the highest model, Toyota. 

The last-place model? Buick. 

Who knew Buick was even round anymore?
