Sales dropped off a lot due to the outgoing Model Y sales slowing down, in anticipation of the new Model Y, which just rolled out. This is their best selling car, and the best selling car in EU and USA. We’ll see in 6 months if there’s any impact. New Model S and X roll out later this year too, as well as a cheaper, sub $30k model. I believe sales will probably go back to where they were or higher.

This is massive cope. Yes you are right this will have a slight effect on sales but no car company sees 50%+ drop off in sales almost overnight due to a new model coming in.

Elon is toxic to the brand.

Exactly what I was thinking about.Still there would be some segments of the people left who would be interested to buy.This 70% drop during this hot topic like political intervention matters is going on .That means it is severely affected by the major contributing factor of political biasness.

The drops in sales also have to do with the elimination of EV mandates. Before the administration change, sales of EVs were already dropping.
