Tesla reported an 8.5% drop in EV deliveries in 2025, with Model Y refresh impacting sales. Model Y is critical to Tesla’s success, accounting for a significant portion of total EV sales in the U.S. The weak first and second quarters were expected due to production shifts. Sales recovery is expected in 2026.

Despite CEO Elon Musk’s political involvement, Model 3 sales rose in 2025. The Model Y rollout and new, more affordable versions will boost sales in 2026. A pull-forward of sales in the U.S. led to a third-quarter increase followed by a fourth-quarter decline. Tesla aims for 1.75 million deliveries in 2026.

Robotaxis and lower interest rates will enhance Tesla’s EV value. Regulatory approvals for unsupervised robotaxis and Cybercabs are expected in 2026. This will spotlight Tesla’s Full Self-Driving software and add value to all EV sales. A return to growth in EV sales is crucial for Tesla’s stock and production volume expansion.

Investors eye Tesla’s stock catalysts in 2026, including robotaxis and regulatory approvals. A rebound in EV sales is essential for narrative and margin expansion.
