Trump’s advisers also are recommending that he repeal electric-vehicle subsidies and roll back fuel-economy and tailpipe-pollution regulations that generate significant revenue for Tesla.“This number is a total wild card,” Gene Munster, managing partner of growth-investment firm Deepwater Asset Management, said of Tesla’s fourth-quarter deliveries.

And in Japan, a potential partnership between Honda Motor Co. and Nissan Motor Co. to jointly work on software development, batteries and other EV components has given way to considerations of a full-blown combination under a joint holding company.Musk’s OutlookEven against this backdrop, Musk has offered an upbeat view on 2025. When Tesla last reported quarterly earnings in October, the CEO said his best guess was that the company could increase sales by 20% to 30% next year.That outlook rests, in part, on Tesla launching more affordable models in the first half of next year that the company has yet to identify.Chris McNally, an analyst at Evercore ISI, wrote in a report to clients Monday that his best guess is Tesla will offer new variants of the Model 3 and Y that are $4,000 to $5,000 cheaper through an improved electrical architecture and “de-contenting,” a reference to using lower-cost parts or removing certain components or features.Tesla has already gotten a jump on its affordability drive by closing the year with a flood of deals, ranging from cut-rate financing to years of free charging and cheaper leases.Musk’s 2025 sales growth forecast “is likely to prove aggressive,” according to Garrett Nelson, an analyst at CFRA Research.“We see headwinds facing EV sales from the possible combination of a stronger dollar, higher domestic oil production from easing regulations, and lower oil prices,” Nelson wrote in a Dec. 2 report. “After a year in which Tesla’s vehicle sales growth will likely be flattish, we see its volumes growing only 10%-15% in 2025, or only half as strong as its guidance.”","kind":"news","is_publish_news":true,"is_publish_highlight":true,"is_publish_live":false,"is_publish_wemedia":null,"editions":null,"column":"","sentiment":"0","news_tag":"","news_rank":0,"symbols":[],"gpt_button":0},"commentList":[{"id":387555645374760,"gmtCreate":1735659581328,"gmtModify":1735659585095,"author":{"id":"3577018109379877","authorId":"3577018109379877","name":"Des79","avatar":"https://static.laohu8.com/default-avatar.jpg","vip":1,"crmLevel":2,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"idStr":"3577018109379877","authorIdStr":"3577018109379877"},"htmlText":"Tesla need a hybrid solution to solve the ev car for time being.
