Erik Wedberg: Tesla still best – that’s why you sell

Do you dare to buy a new Tesla? Do you dare to appear in what you already have or should you sell it badly to avoid being involved if a possible is valued? These are questions that are difficult to answer when it comes to any car, but that become completely impossible to find out when it comes to Tesla.

There is no history here to lean on, no previous precedent cases that can point out the direction for where the development is headed. What is happening to Tesla right now is, in short, something we have never seen in the automotive industry before.

The last few months Sales decline is unique. Never before has such a large, global car company backed so strongly. Apart from those who have gone bankrupt, of course. The year 2025 began to be awkward with a sharply reduced sale that most people thought could be because the best -selling Model Y would be updated and that the buyers were waiting for the new version. When sales decreased sharply in February, fewer believed in that explanation and now that March’s sales figures are completed, it looks night black.

Although the new version of Model Y has begun to be built and delivered, Tesla continues to reverse. Real. Tesla sold only 911 cars during the month, which will be compared with 2,524 cars during the same month last year, ie a decrease of 64 percent. This is in a total market that is increasing and during the month of March, which historically is usually strong for Tesla. It looks the same in several parts of Europe. In Denmark, France, the Netherlands and Austria, sales for the third month are also reduced in a row.

The argument that the sharp decline so far has been due to the fact that the best seller Model Y is facing an update that most of the buyers are waiting must be dismissed soon. New Model Y has been for sale throughout March and it has not been possible to see more than a mild slowdown in the breed in some markets.

Tesla’s wide cancer is probably due to something else. Something much more difficult, unreliable and unpredictable than a car. A human being.

That it updated The model is far much better than the old one, and actually a little better than almost all competitors, thus does not seem to help. Tesla’s wide cancer is probably due to something else. Something much more difficult, unreliable and unpredictable than a car. A human being.

This is a situation we are not used to in the car turn. Not only the new car sales but also the value of hundreds of thousands of used cars seems to be largely affected by what a single person says and is doing right now and that means uncertainty that the stock market has not liked. In total, about $ 460 million has disappeared from the company’s market capitalization in 2025.

The prices of used cars work to some extent as the stock price. The value is only partially set by the car’s actual properties, which in Tesla’s case are very good and valuable, and to a very large part of the expected, future value of the car.

In recent years, the event development of the American electric car brand has been impossible to predict and is unparalleled in recent years. Who then knows what is to come? Maybe it is best to sell your Tesla before something even worse happens?
