Tesla sales have plummeted to their lowest level in three years after a reaction against its boss Elon Musk.

The electric car maker delivered almost 337,000 electric vehicles in the first three months of 2025, a 13% drop from a year ago.

Tesla shares tumbled in early trading on Wednesday after the release of the unexpectedly low sales numbers.

The cars face increasing competition from Chinese firm BYD, but experts believe Musk’s role in the Trump administration has had an effect too.
