Tesla reported disappointing first-quarter results for 2025, with earnings per share of 27 cents and revenue of $19.34 billion, both falling short of expectations. The company experienced a 71% decline in profits and a 20% drop in automotive revenue, marking the largest quarterly sales decrease in its history. CEO Elon Musk attributed the challenges to global trade policies, supply chain issues, and the impact of tariffs. Additionally, Tesla is reconsidering its 2025 sales targets due to aging vehicle models and the effects of Musk's involvement with the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE). Analysts have raised concerns about Musk's focus and the resulting damage to Tesla's brand, suggesting that recovery may take an extended period. Tesla plans to revisit its 2025 guidance in the second quarter update.
