That It would have happened if Tesla built her plant in Mexico? We may never know it, but it is possible that with the current situation of the company, it would not make sense to make it. What we thought would be a source of economic opportunity and jobs, now falls apart and their sales continue on the floor.
What is happening with Tesla? Its sales fall and increase the rejection of Musk
Musk problems do not stop, on the contrary, they continue to increase. The emblematic and pioneer in electric cars, Tesla, is minced in your sales. This makes us doubt whether the factory that would be built in Mexico, would be helpful or simply went unnoticed by the fall of its income.
Musk cannot carry his companies as before for these reasons, and the results are evidence of this. The most recent figures reveal a drop in sales in key markets such as Europe, China, Australia and the United States, which causes concern between investors, analysts and users.

In the United States, Tesla’s sales do not have the best panorama and reputation continues
Does Musk’s political position influence? In his own country, Tesla has also lost ground. New vehicle registration in California, their most important market in the United States, fell 12 % in 2024. There is a growing rejection of Musk for its proximity to political figures.
His participation in the Government Efficiency Department (Doge) and his role as Trump advisor Han bothered many of its usual buyers, which are usually progressive and environmental defenders betting on electrification.
But, the impact has not been limited to sales. Tesla reported a 9 % drop in its turnover during the first quarter of 2025, reducing its income to 19 300 million dollars. The profits also suffered a 71 %drop, leaving just 409 million dollars.
Will it be the fall of a giant? The future is uncertain for Tesla
While Tesla fights with scandals and a range of perceived models as aged, traditional manufacturers such as Volkswagen, General Motors and new brands such as Byd, are taking consumers with more accessible and modern proposals.
The collapse has affected the perception of the brand. According to The New York Times, several owners have chosen to sell their tesla cars As a form of protest, which causes falls in the actions of Tesla. In addition, it is denounced for mass fraud, only the problem increases.
Although All the fall of Teslaanalysts believe that they could recover thanks to their leadership in technologies such as autonomous driving and artificial intelligence. Although, the immediate challenge for the brand will be to restore its image and reconnect with its consumers in a world where sustainability and political neutrality weigh as much as technology.
