Tesla's Sales Decline and Future Outlook

Tesla's annual vehicle sales have dropped for the first time in over a decade, primarily attributed to rising market competition and affordability concerns. Incentives have played a crucial role in maintaining demand, with the company likely to continue offering them to support sales. Looking ahead to 2025, analysts anticipate that Tesla will provide more optimistic sales forecasts, driven by the launch of new vehicles, including an affordable model expected to be priced under $30,000. Long-term projections suggest that as battery costs decline and additional models are introduced, sales are expected to recover beyond 2025.
