Tesla has reported that delivery of vehicles in the first three months of 2025 fell nearly 13 percent as demand for the automaker’s electric cars continued to weaken amid backlash to Elon Musk’s role advising President Donald Trump.
The result was well short of analysts’ expectations as Tesla revealed it shipped 336,681 vehicles in the first quarter, down from the 386,810 vehicles a year ago. Wedbush analyst Dan Ives said in an April 2 research note that expectations were about 360,000 vehicles during the period.
“The brand crisis issues are clearly having a negative impact on Tesla… there is no debate,” he said. “We are not going to look at these numbers with rose-colored glasses… they were a disaster on every metric.”
