In August 2025, Tesla fell to 38 percent, as little as in October 2017. The decline illustrates the growing competitive pressure.
• Market share fell to 38 percent
• Competition with new models and strong incentives on the advance
• Focus on robotaxis and humanoid robots
Market share in free fall
In August, Tesla’s US market share in the electric car segment fell to only 38 percent, the lowest value since October 2017, when Model 3 went into series production for the first time, data from the market research company COX Automative showed that were shared with Reuters. In July, the proportion had already recorded a noticeable decline compared to 48.7 percent in June with 42 percent.
Competitive dynamics
The strong decline is particularly due to aggressive strategies of established car brands. Hyundai, Kia, Honda and Toyota increased their sales, according to Cox Automotive, between 60 percent and 120 percent, supported by high buying incentives. Volkswagen even increased its sales in July by over 450 percent.
Robotics instead of new entry
Tesla has no longer launched the Cybertruck on the market, in particular cheap entry variants were postponed or rejected. Instead, Tesla shifts his strategy to robotaxi and humanoid robot projects. “I know that they position themselves as a robotic and AI company. But if you are an automobile manufacturer and have no new products, the market share begins to decrease,” explains Stephanie Valdez Streaty, director of industry knowledge at Cox Automotive, in an interview with Reuters.
Challenge grows
Analysts expect a rise in demand in September before the state purchase premium of $ 7,500 expires. After that, the price pressure on Tesla and competitors should continue to rise, which remains a major challenge in view of the shrinking offer and the lack of new models.
