Elon Musk Buys Twitter

Tesla's vehicle deliveries data is out — and it's much worse than expected

Tesla on Wednesday reported first-quarter deliveries of almost 336,700 EVs, coming in well below analysts' expectations.

Wall Street had braced for a rough report, with analysts expecting 390,300 deliveries, Bloomberg said.

The total was 13% lower than in the same period in 2024, with Tesla attributing the decline to changes in production lines ahead of the new Model Y's release. It was also the company's worst quarter since the first three months of 2022.

Tesla stock fell about 4% before reversing course to jump more than 5% after Politico reported that President Donald Trump had told his inner circle Tesla CEO Elon Musk would soon step back from his White House role.

One of Tesla's biggest cheerleaders, the Wedbush analyst Dan Ives, called the numbers a "disaster on every metric," adding: "The Street and us knew a bad 1Q was coming but this was even worse than expected. The time has come for Musk ... it's a fork in the road moment."

Ross Gerber, an investment advisor, said on X that deliveries of more expensive models such as the Cybertruck, Model S, and Model X fell 25% to 12,881. He added: "The high-end EV business has totally eroded. The cybertruck is basically not selling. The brand is broken and may not be fixable."

The numbers offer the most comprehensive look yet at how Musk's biggest business is faring amid signs of decreasing demand, protests against the brand, and a rise in used-Tesla listings.

Worldwide declines
In recent weeks, there have been worrying signs for Tesla's sales as various countries have separately released monthly figures showing declining deliveries.

Tesla sales in both Australia and Germany had declined more than 70% year over year in February. Several other European countries, including Norway, Denmark, Sweden, and France, also saw a dip in year-over-year sales in February.

Its sales also recently declined in China and the US, two key markets for the EV giant. In March, the automaker sold about 79,000 electric vehicles in China, according to industry data released Wednesday, down 11.5% from last year.

The company's first-quarter sales figures arrived amid a growing boycott against Tesla. The movement calls for owners to offload their Teslas and sell their stock. It's a response to Tesla CEO Elon Musk's political involvement with the White House DOGE office and its efforts to downsize the federal workforce, cut costs, and improve overall government efficiency.

As protests have ramped up, Tesla dealerships and owners of the brand have become targets of vandalism, with some incidents involving arson and gunfire aimed at Tesla buildings and vehicles. President Donald Trump and Attorney General Pam Bondi have vowed to treat Tesla attacks as domestic terrorism.

While some Tesla owners who have faced backlash or harassment told Business Insider the experiences had strengthened their support of the company and its leader, others have shared plans to sell their EVs out of fear of retaliation and embarrassment of being associated with the polarizing brand.

Tesla's used-car market has also grown, with listings increasing by 33% this year, per Cox Automotive data. Tesla isn't alone — listings for other EVs have increased by 27% year to date, Cox said in an industry forecast.

While some attribute the rise to an aging car lineup, others say Musk's influence on the brand may be a factor.

The stock is back up on news that Elon is leaving DOGE but I don't see him being able to turn around the reputational damage to Tesla. It's also doubtful that he is actually leaving considering how much money he has been able to get from the government including a fresh 20 billion dollar contract to give awful internet to rural areas.

His reputational damage isn't because of DOGE, his reputational damage is because he is a Nazi LARPer.

That much is obvious but to Elon and the cult who holds his stock they think it's DOGE, the refuse to admit reality and they are the ones who are propping up the price. Tesla has always been a meme stock it's trading at 100x P/E even now there's no way that's reasonable unless you are huffing the Elon glue.

It's called an impregnation fetish. Leads to some sick behavior from some sick people. Take a look at Rich Campbell as example #1.

In Elon's case, he's not assaulting anyone as far as we're aware but he just keeps spawning creatures and abandoning them which is some pretty disgusting behavior.

But he doesn't even do the dicking himself...

Ever hear of cucking when someone has another man fuck his wife? He doesn't even do the fucking but she gets fucked and he gets off.

Assuming he can get off, what with the broken penis and all.

Because it's not about the dicking...it's about the impregnation.

I mean... I've seen some shit in my time on the internet, but getting off on artificial insemination is a new one.

It's not the artificial part that matters...it's just the insemination.

It was always 130 days until he had to release stuff. That comes at the end of may which is when Elon is tasked to leave. Granted, I wonder if there is actually something more to it than just "Well, my time is up" type of stuff.

Phony is just looking for "the one" child! Who is just as brilliant as he is at everything! That can be moulded to take over from him as Supreme Leader one day... When he find's the correct woman to give him such a child he will stop.

There's zero chance he will give up that kind of power.

[postman1782]

Yep, he is making billions from Trump and he will not go willingly.

[Draco-Onis]

I think he will go publicly and just slither behind the scenes because he thinks people are stupid and he is a "super genius".

More wondering if he is going that back door as possible and control it remotely.

Remember he was called out for trying to install remote access into the systems that would allow him to pause, cancel and even redirect money in a way that would be hard to track where the command came from.

If he does that,

1) What are the odds Trump would stop him?
2) What are the odds Trump would block audits of the system to check after he was gone?
3) What are the odds Trump would block or slow attempts to fix it if found?
4) What are the odds Trump would love to have Musk mess with the systems without accountability and with plausible deniability as he hurts people they don’t like and funnels potentially trillions between both of them?

Musk doesn't work I think we've figured that out since he spends so much time tweeting. I don't think anything will change aside pretending he left, he will get more contracts and the firings will continue. The entire DOGE staff are Musk dedicated cult employees who are still following his orders, whatever plan they have to rob the tax payers blind is continuing aside from the marketing.

So we're starting to get reports that ICE detention facilities have cruel and inhumane conditions for the people it's holding. In Florida, the Krome ICE detention facility has a capacity of 500, and is currently holding about 4000 people who are still waiting on... whatever due process Republicans feel like giving them.

Detention facilities are typically used until transportation for deportation can be secured for the people, but many have already been there since the beginning of the Trump administration, with no news for what's going to happen to them. These detention facilities are giving their occupants one cup of water per day along with a paltry amount of food. This has already resulted in several deaths of occupants who are malnourished and dehydrated.

In any normal society this would be considered a crime against humanity, but in the Trump administration it's just another day.

Incidentally, did anyone know that concentration camps did not immediately start as death camps? They were originally camps designed to hold Jews and other "degenerates" of society until they could be deported to other countries, but the camps began to rapidly fill up as surrounding countries stopped accepting German exports of its own citizens.

As the camps filled, people began to die of starvation and dehydration, the conditions in the camps were cruel, and eventually Germany built work facilities so that the prisoners in the camps could "work off their debts to the German people", using the concentration camp prisoners as free labor to build munitions.

The actual gas chambers didn't start running until several years later, when the camps were overflowing and Germany realized it would be cheaper to just mass murder them all instead of continuing to house and feed millions of people.




Kinda wild how back in 2016 I warned that Trump was using rhetoric dangerously similar to that of Hitler, that it was a known fact that he used to have Mein Kampf on his bedside table, but people told me I was being hysterical. Crazy that I was right... again.
