Tesla’s Nightmare Continues As Musk Warns of “Rough Quarters”Ahead

gizmodo.com Luc Olinga 2026-01-04 03:14:11

Tesla’s second-quarter earnings paint a grim picture: falling profits, slumping sales, and a reputation hit that keeps on hurting. The all-electric carmaker reported net income of $1.17 billion, down 16.3% from the same period in 2024. Revenue fell 12% to $22.5 billion from $25.5 billion a year earlier, marking Tesla’s second consecutive quarter of declining profits and revenue this year. The cause is clear: Tesla is selling fewer cars and cutting prices to chase demand. Deliveries fell 13.5%

Elon Musk's Tesla Is Now the Most Hated Electric Vehicle Maker

futurism.com Unknown 2026-01-04 12:53:07

To absolutely no one's surprise, a new study on electric vehicles has found that people really hate automaker Tesla — more than any other major EV brand, underscoring a tumultuous year with CEO Elon Musk's deeply unpopular forays into politics leading to people protesting or even vandalizing Teslas. A market research initiative called the Electric Vehicle Intelligence Report polled more than 8,000 people over the spring and summer and found that Tesla ranked dead last in a list of 19 EV carmake

Tesla reports sales miss as auto revenue drops for second straight quarter

Elon Musk, CEO of SpaceX and Tesla, attends the Viva Technology conference at the Porte de Versailles exhibition center in Paris on June 16, 2023. Tesla's slump this year is partly due to a backlash against the company in the U.S. and Europe, after CEO Elon Musk spent heavily to help reelect President Donald Trump , endorsed Germany's extreme anti-immigrant AfD party, and then led the Trump administration's Department of Government Efficiency. At DOGE, Musk helped to slash the federal workforce

Things Are Looking Really, Really Bad for Tesla

Elon Musk's carmaker Tesla is widely expected to disappoint with its Q2 earnings report later today. Demand for the company's EVs has dried up significantly over the past 18 months, driven in large part by its exceptionally divisive CEO's efforts to alienate buyers at the exact moment that the company is facing a flood of high-quality international competition.
