The famous American electric vehicle manufacturer Tesla reported a decline in revenue and profit indicators in the second quarter of 2025. This was reported by Zamin.uz.
The company generated $22.5 billion in revenue during the three-month period ending in June, which is a 12 percent decrease compared to the same period last year. Profit fell to $1.17 billion, down 16 percent.
The main reason for this decline is attributed to the political activities of the company's founder, Elon Musk. Due to Musk's political views and controversial statements, Tesla is losing customers not only in the US but also in Europe.
In particular, some customers in the United Kingdom, Germany, and France have turned away from the company. Analysts emphasize that Musk's personal image has negatively impacted the Tesla brand.
According to Forrester analyst Dipanjan Chatterjee, under Elon Musk's leadership, Tesla is becoming a harmful brand. The company leader is currently focusing more on robotaxi and artificial intelligence-based technologies than on electric vehicles.
Tesla is testing a robotaxi service in Austin, Texas, which is planned to be offered to half of the US population by the end of 2025. However, some technical issues have arisen during the testing process.
At the same time, Tesla is losing market share to competitors like China's BYD and Germany's Volkswagen. The US government's cancellation of the $7,500 tax credit for electric vehicle buyers is also negatively affecting sales.
In the future, Tesla plans to launch a cheaper electric vehicle model by the end of 2025. Additionally, the company aims to produce 100,000 humanoid robots named "Optimus" per month within five years.
According to Elon Musk, in the near future, robots will become an integral part of daily life, and people will stop paying attention to them.
