That’s despite having launched cheaper versions of the electric truck, gaining access to the federal tax credit for the Cybertruck, and offering bigger discounts and incentives. Tesla reported a 13% decrease in deliveries in Q1 2025 compared to the same period last year, which the automaker attributed to its Model Y design changeover reducing production. However, Tesla’s deliveries are currently tracking to be down even more in the second quarter compared to last year, despite Tesla having ramped up production. Electrek’s Take What’s going to be the excuse this quarter? As I reported earlier today, Tesla is currently tracking to deliver 355,000-360,000 units in Q2, which would be down 19-20% compared to 2024. It would be an even steeper decline even with the new Model Y. It clearly wasn’t the problem. The automaker had already reduced its production capacity at most factories in 2024, when it ran at about 60% capacity due to lower demand. Now, Tesla is stopping production of its best-selling Model Y with the new design twice in two months? This is not looking good. Add Electrek to your Google News feed.
