Tesla Faces Declining Sales Amid Price Cuts

Tesla Inc. is experiencing a steep sales decline in 2025, with U.S. deliveries dropping below 40,000 units in November, the lowest monthly total in nearly four years. The company’s aggressive price cuts, $35,000 "Standard" variants, and the expiration of federal EV tax credits have not reversed demand, raising the prospect of consecutive annual sales declines and prompting strategic pivots.
