Tesla is facing a global drop in sales, and CEO Elon Musk is under fire for focusing on side projects and politics instead of addressing the crisis. While sales in Europe and China are plunging, investor frustration is rising and calls for leadership change are growing louder.
š Teslaās Sales Are Falling ā and No Oneās Stopping the Decline
2025 started on a sour note for Tesla. In Europe, the company saw a 45% drop in new registrations in January, with February showing little improvement. In China, deliveries plunged by over 49%, while markets like the UK and Australia only showed modest growth.
UBS analyst Joseph Spak predicted a 5% decline in global Tesla revenues, sparking immediate negative reactions from investors and a drop in Teslaās stock price.
ā ļø Muskās Public Image Is Hurting Tesla
A study by Morning Consult shows that Muskās controversial behavior is damaging Teslaās brand, particularly in Europe and Canada. Meanwhile, China remains a crucial market, where Tesla needs to maintain a strong position.
In the U.S., the situation is more complex. While Musk garners support from anti-government spending voters, he's losing favor among high-income consumersāthe ones most likely to buy a Tesla.
š§Ŗ Lack of Innovation, Rising Competition
Experts say Tesla is falling behind in innovation. Prof. Peter Wells of Cardiff University believes Musk has failed to deliver new products to keep the brand competitive.
Meanwhile, the competition is heating up:
Kia and Hyundai are leading the pack with reliable, high-quality EVs.Chinese automakers like BYD, Xpeng, and Nio are rapidly expanding, offering both affordable and luxury EVs.
While others deliver, Tesla continues to promise. Musk recently claimed robotaxi service would launch in Texas by June, echoing similar promises made since 2019ānone of which have materialized. Teslaās āFull Self Drivingā still requires drivers to keep their hands on the wheel.
š¤¹ Musk Overstretched: Tesla, SpaceX, X, and xAI
In addition to Tesla, Musk is juggling:
The social platform XHis AI company xAIAnd SpaceX, which recently struggled with its massive Starship rocket
Even Musk admitted to struggling with the workload in a Fox Business interview. Experts question if he still effectively runs Tesla day-to-day.
š Investors Losing Patience
Musk owns 13% of Teslaās shares, worth over $95 billion, making him nearly untouchable. Yet some investors are speaking upāincluding Ross Gerber, a longtime shareholder who now calls for Musk to step down.
Analysts agree: appointing a new CEO could help Tesla regain direction, separate Muskās personal interests (like DOGE), and focus fully on the auto business.
š® Whatās Next?
Tesla is still valued like a tech company, not a carmaker. But unless it delivers on promised innovation, investor confidence may begin to fade quickly.
