Tesla continues to dominate the U.S. electric vehicle (EV) market, selling approximately 151,000 EVs in the country in the second quarter of 2025. Despite a 9% decline in sales compared to the same period last year, Tesla remains far ahead of its closest competitors. General Motors saw a significant 111% year-over-year increase in EV sales, with over 46,000 units sold, marking its best quarter for EV sales. On the other hand, Ford experienced a 31% decrease in EV sales, moving just 16,000 units in the same period.
Even as other automakers ramp up production and introduce new models, Tesla’s stronghold on the U.S. EV market remains unchallenged. The company leads in volume, scale, and brand recognition, especially with popular models like the Model Y and Model 3 still among the best-selling EVs in the country.
Globally, Tesla produced 410,244 vehicles and delivered 384,122 units worldwide in the second quarter of 2025. While deliveries were slightly lower than the same period in 2024, Tesla is still on track to surpass 1.8 million deliveries globally for the year, reinforcing its dominance in the global EV market.
As traditional automakers like General Motors make strides in the EV space and competition heats up, Tesla’s position at the top of the U.S. leaderboard underscores its continued strength in the face of a more competitive landscape.
Stay tuned for Tesla’s full Q2 2025 earnings update later this month as the company continues to innovate and lead the way in the electric vehicle industry.
