Owners are massively getting rid of Tesla

Respected Tesla electric cars, released in 2017 or later, in March occupied a record share of 1.4 percent of the US secondary market, the Edmunds agency calculated. A year ago, the indicator was 0.4 percent. There are several reasons for the surge of reselling, analysts say, but the most powerful effect was had the behavior of Ilon Mask and a series of attacks on electric cars and their owners.

Recently, not only Tesla and showrooms, but also the owners of electric cars have become objects of attacks. For example, several owners said that they were insulted and scolded, while others were faced with vandalism: electric cars are painted with spray cans, hacked and set fire to.

Some experts believe that a change in Tesla’s image may even provoke shifts in a car market. Former Clients of Tesla, who pushed Musk, will go to competitors, and someone will choose smaller “green” startups, and someone will return to the internal combustion engine.

Tesla still takes 50 thousand dollars for the pre -order Roadster, which Tesla was expected in 2020 from the participants in the car dealership in the Canadian Vancouver.

For Tesla, this is bad news, since its sales are already falling. Last year, they were reduced for the first time in a decade: 1,789,226 cars around the world were implemented-less than the plan and less than the result of the 2023rd.

At the beginning of 2025, the situation was aggravated. A particularly sensitive fall in January-February was marked by Germany and the key to Tesla China. However, the reason is not only in the mask, but also in growing pressure from competitors.
