Tesla’s Australian Sales Plunge Over 70% in February Amid Growing Competition

March 12, 2025 — Electric vehicle giant Tesla is facing a sharp downturn in the Australian market, with sales plummeting by more than 70% in February 2025 compared to the same month last year, according to newly released automotive industry data.

This significant drop follows a 33% year-on-year decline in January, marking Tesla’s lowest monthly sales in Australia in two years.

Industry analysts point to intensifying competition from rival EV brands such as BYD and MG as a major factor behind the slump. Experts also suggest the decline may reflect a broader normalization in electric vehicle demand after years of rapid growth.

The trend isn’t isolated to Australia. Reports indicate Tesla is seeing similar slowdowns in other key markets, including Germany, where sales have tumbled by as much as 75% in recent months.

As the global EV market evolves, all eyes are on how Tesla plans to respond to these mounting challenges.

Elon Musk’s ‘Offer’ to Have a Baby with Taylor Swift Sparks Outrage: ‘This Is Not Okay'

Elon Musk’s surprising online offer to father a child with Taylor Swift sparked widespread backlash and intrigue across social media. The saga began when Swift, known for her outspoken activism, announced her endorsement of Kamala Harris in the upcoming U.S. presidential election, subtly embracing her label as a "Childless Cat Lady." This phrase appeared to mock earlier remarks made by Republican politician JD Vance, who had implied that “childless cat ladies” like Swift weren’t contributing to society in the traditional sense. Musk, the billionaire CEO of Tesla and SpaceX and an avid social media provocateur, jumped in with a response few expected: “Fine Taylor... you win. I will give you a child and guard your cats with my life,” he posted on X (formerly Twitter). Though Musk’s post was intended as a humorous riff on Swift’s post, it quickly unleashed a tidal wave of reactions online, ranging from confusion and disgust to outright indignation.

Even Elon Musk’s Mom Pays Full Price for a Tesla — No Special Treatment in the ‘Everyone’s Family’ Policy, But She Finds It "Cute"

When it comes to buying a Tesla, not even being the mother of the world’s richest man will get you a discount. Maye Musk, the 76-year-old model, dietitian, and mother of Elon Musk, recently confirmed that she paid full price for her Tesla vehicle—just like everyone else. In an interview that’s making waves, Maye revealed that despite her close relationship with Elon, she wasn’t offered any special deals on her Tesla. She emphasized that Elon’s strict “no discounts” policy doesn’t bend, not even for family. His philosophy? “Everyone’s family.” Translation: No one gets preferential treatment, and everyone pays the same price, whether you’re a stranger or his own mom. But Maye isn’t bitter about it. In fact, she seems to find the policy charming. She reportedly smiled and said, “That’s cute,” when asked about paying full price. It’s a testament to the Musk family’s unique dynamic—where fairness and principle trump favoritism, even at the family level. Elon Musk’s approach to pricing at...

"Elon Musk is reportedly losing £1 million every single minute in 2025."

Elon Musk's net worth has experienced a significant decline since the beginning of 2025, primarily due to substantial drops in the stock values of his major companies, including Tesla and X (formerly Twitter). In 2025, eight tech billionaires, including Elon Musk and Jeff Bezos, collectively lost approximately $266 billion, with Tesla's stock dropping by 45%. Tesla's sales have declined in the US and globally, influenced by several factors including Musk's political activism causing consumer backlash, a transition towards robotics and AI, inventory issues, anticipation for new models, and increased competition. In February, US sales dropped by nearly 6%, with Cybertruck and Model 3 sales falling the most. Additionally, X's valuation has decreased significantly. One year after Musk's acquisition, company documents related to employee restricted stock grants showed the company had estimated its own valuation at about $19 billion, down about 55% from Musk's p...
