Simples, Model 3 highland landed in Aus in Q1 2024, so sales would be much higher, due to pent up demand, relative to Q1 2025. In addition, sales of Model 3 were prioritised to China with full knowledge that China would have few old Model Ys to sell before changeover. Hence, Model 3s were near record sales in Q1 2025 in China, the opposite in Aus.

Tesla sales in Australia had declined as early as 2024. To the point dragging down EV sales growth in Australia. In 2024, Australian EV market actually saw high growth if the data omitted Tesla. The decline began more pronounced within the first three months of 2025. Tesla sales in first three months had decreased 59.7% compared with in last year.

At this point, it's very unlikely China would export much cars to Australia to anticipate declining demand.

Musk has a chainsaw and will cut/demolish the sales department. But then he just needs 1 email to layoff the complete sales staff.

Chill dude. I was reinforcing your argument.
Billy Li being the infamous leader of NIO.

What in hec are you talking about ! I suppose this has something to do with eggs……

Unlike Billy Li who never delivered and is never on time.
Or corollary : Billy is always on time to never delivering.

Production todate has been limited by inhouse 4680 battery production that has had teething troubles using the revolutionary dry cathode production method that slashes costs. Tesla must be finally scaling up production targets to increase sales of cheaper Cybertruck variants.

This with the 1st Lithium refinery in USA using a new low cost production method to start production shortly should see costs drop further to hit target prices promised when Cybertruck was 1st mooted and those 2M reservations came to be.

Musk has always delivered but never never on time.

Why are Model 3 "Highland" sales down ?
