With Q1 2025 sales reports now available, we know that Tesla sold 60,000 fewer vehicles than it did last year. Tesla isn’t the only automaker experiencing tariff-induced sales difficulties. You’re probably not entirely surprised to hear that Tesla sales have experienced a sharp decline since the start of this year. Of course, Tesla isn’t the only automaker struggling with tariff-induced sales difficulties; many automakers are suffering from the same tariff-induced sales slump. Many Chinese brands like BYD, Xiaomi, and many others have already started producing automobiles at similar numbers to Tesla.
