Tesla leads U.S. sales of EVs lower in April, marking the first annual drop in over a year

• Tesla vehicle sales in the United States decreased by 16 % in AprilAccording to data from the S& P Global Mobility, the commercial publication was martyred Car news. With a 40 % stake, even the lowest weak point in Elon Musk has an improper effect on monthly EV sales. Meanwhile, Musk rejected his concerns with a problem with demanding his hands.

When Tesla sneezes, the entire US electric vehicle market holds a cold.

ELON Musk led the total sales of emissions in April, which represents an annual basis in EV sales for 14 months, according to Car news.

Detroit -based commercial publication was killed by the data published by the S&P Global Mobility, which showed that the Americans bought nearly 9,7800 volts, or 4.4 % from last year.

The main perpetrator was the retreat was Tesla, whose sins sank 16 % to less than 40,000 in April. In comparison, Chevrolet has seen three times its work than relatively low levels on the back of the new moderate crossover, which blew all Tesla models in terms of the actual real world.

Tesla nor S & P Global Mobility did not respond to a request fromluckMade outside normal working hours.

Tesla share of 40 % means that it dictates the American market of America

Musk Evs made desirable in the United States, first in 2012 with a model sedan that revolutionized the industry, and after eight years, it achieved great success in the most reasonable model.

Despite its success, the rest of the United States industry either could not – in the case of EV UPSTARTS such as Rivian – or will not follow it. Even in its currently weak state, Tesla still represents nearly four out of 10 EVS sold in the United States, compared to market shares of less than 10 % for its nearest competitors – Chevrolet and Ford.

With this dominant position, even the slightest declines have a significant significant impact on the total market.

The sales numbers that were published in April in June are usually considered old at this stage, but there is a scarcity of data in time when it comes to the size of the American electric vehicle industry. The market is late compared to most other wealthy and industrial countries, as the demand for EV is auxiliary through high fuel taxes.

The musk refused to fears that Tesla has a problem with the request

The bad results of Tesla in the United States in April confirm the existence of a trend that has already appeared in Europe and China, indicating that the company will find a growing difficulty in meeting its expectations for the whole year to obtain an unlimited return to increased car sales.

Sales have already decreased by 13 % in the first quarter, and June should be a very strong month to stir at least stagnant sizes for the current quarter. More worry for Tesla, there was no indication of a new model on the horizon, beyond the Y from seven seats, although Musk promised since April 2024 that one would be launched before the end of June.

Meanwhile, the CEO has exacerbated some investors by constantly rejecting fears that Tesla Motor Company is in a state of prolonged stagnation, who is eventually responsible. It was not only the killing of his planned car with a value of $ 25,000 in favor of one without any manual controls at all, as his political activity also sparked the boycott of customers.

“Don’t worry about it,” he said recently, when asked about the recession in the sales of Tesla EV. “They are fine.”
