- European consideration to buy Chinese cars rose 16% YoY, from 31% in 2024 to 47% in 2025, driven by growing consumer trust and interest.
- Trust in Chinese brands increased from 22% in 2024 to 28% in 2025, with BYD ranking 8th in positive momentum versus Tesla’s 50th place.
- Tesla still leads on charging infrastructure and speed but trails competitors on design, quality and emotional appeal as Chinese brands match Europe’s offerings at lower prices.
- Burry labels Tesla “ridiculously overvalued” with a $1.4–$1.5 trillion market cap amid slowing growth and shrinking margins.
- The newly approved $1 trillion stock-based pay package, tied to an $8.5 trillion valuation target, is projected to cause ~3.6 % annual dilution and Tesla conducts no buybacks.
- Tesla trades at 209 x forward earnings, well above its five-year average of 94 x and the S&P 500’s 22 x, highlighting valuation concerns.
- Tesla set a new 2025 Norway annual car sales record, in a market where fully electric vehicles now account for 97.6% of new registrations.
- In November, Tesla’s European registrations halved in France and fell 49% in Denmark, highlighting a regional downturn.
- In Denmark, Model Y registrations plunged 74%, while Model 3 registrations rose 29%, making it the eighth best-selling car in November.
- Analysts point to rising competition from Chinese EV makers, an aging vehicle lineup and CEO controversies; 2025’s updated models and lower-priced variants have yet to reverse the trend.
- Tesla’s market cap nears $1.3 trillion, with a P/E of ~287 and PEG of ~16.8, reflecting optimism in AI and robotics over its core EV business.
- Record revenue of $28.1 billion and EPS slightly beat estimates, but net margin compressed to 5.5% due to price cuts and increased AI/robotics spending.
- Launched FSD in South Korea for U.S.-made Model S and X (≈900 units) under Korea–U.S. FTA exemptions, intensifying competition with local automakers.
- Introduced a $1 trillion performance-based CEO pay plan with 12 tiered grants tied to robotaxi, humanoid robot, and profit targets; analysts warn of structural loopholes.
- Tesla emphasizes supplier selection based on quality, total cost, technological maturity, and long-term supply stability—not geographic origin.
- Shanghai Gigafactory sources over 95% of parts locally for Model 3 and Model Y from 400+ Chinese suppliers.

- Lawsuit alleges design flaws in the 2018 Model 3 caused sudden, uncontrolled acceleration, leading to a fatal crash on January 7, 2023, in Tacoma, Washington.
- Plaintiffs contend a door handle design defect and deactivated battery-powered unlocking mechanism prevented bystanders from rescuing occupants post-crash.
- The case is part of a rising pattern of federal investigations and litigation over Tesla door malfunctions, including a separate lawsuit involving student deaths in a similar fire.
- In Europe, October 2025 sales nearly halved, with market share plunging to 0.6% amid strong local and Chinese EV competition.
- China deliveries fell 36% year-over-year in October 2025, even as overall EV sales grew 23%, underscoring regional headwinds.
- An oversupply of Cybertrucks has prompted production cuts and storage of vehicles outdoors, raising quality and reliability concerns.
- Tesla warned South African buyers against unauthorized dealers over warranty and safety risks, highlighting the need for an official presence.

- These in-house chips are intended to reduce dependency on Nvidia, lower costs, and accelerate the rollout of Full Self-Driving software v13+ and the Optimus humanoid robot.
- Analysts predict Tesla’s stock could exceed $500 by end-2026, with a moderately optimistic forecast of $420–450 by mid-2026, contingent on achieving Level 4 autonomy.
- Global LFP battery market projected to reach USD 160.30 billion by 2030, up from USD 82.57 billion in 2025, at a CAGR of 14.2%
