34 percent depreciation after one year and 6,000 miles

Multiple signs from the last two quarters indicate that sales of Tesla vehicles are declining more sharply than ever. The company is struggling to sell the Cybertruck in particular, as its perceived value has started to plunge.

In the first quarter of 2025, Tesla saw the biggest sales decline in its history. A January report showed that its year-over-year sales fell by half in Europe overall and by 70% in Germany despite rising sales of other EV brands. In February, sales dropped by 49% in China as the company reported its lowest numbers since 2022. Last month, Chinese EV automaker BYD outsold Tesla in Europe for the first time.

    Far from safe and riddled with defects. The cheap door handle design alone to skimp on the cost of a few latches making them death traps, coupled with the laminate glass on every window so you can’t break out is ludicrous. Skipping out on lidar or radar to rely solely on optical safety sensors is babytown frolics, when proven multi-sensor designs that can actually see better than humans already exist.

    They also don’t locate the brake lines in proper locations, causing them to prematurely rust out and break, but who cares about being able to stop, right?

    It is hilarious watching the glitchy car UI constantly misidentify objects as it drives by them, though.

    Who cares about a phone app? They are supposed to be a thing you drive.

    Cars designed via broken software design principles is the dumbest thing ever.

    Hope you are able to get something safer once you realize how terrible they are, before it hurts or kills you.

      Cool Googling brah. The usual bullshit of gathering articles, because no other car has ever had an issue… Those crazy folks doing crash testing must be clearly paid off and EU just giving all of this a pass… Yeah, they surely are happy to let this sell.

      While you’re at it, what colour is the sky in your world?

      You’ve addressed nothing from my comment but ridiculed something that’s so advanced, you have zero comparison. The usual behaviour. It’s pathetic really.

          I’m sure those internet points mAke you feel like quite the winner. Pretty much all your remarks and “rhetorts” are from the same playbook.

          Come back when you have something unique to say. Or don’t. I doubt you’re capable of self-thinking.
