Tesla Sales Declined 11.4% in California in 2025 - CleanTechnica

Tesla experienced an 11.4% decline in sales in California in 2025, dropping from 202,865 units in 2024 to 179,656 units. This decline was notable as most automakers did not see sales decreases that year, with only Volvo and Dodge having worse declines. Despite the drop, Tesla maintained a strong market presence in California, capturing a 9.9% share of the state's auto market, significantly higher than its 3.7% share nationally. In the fourth quarter of 2025, Tesla's sales in California showed a slight increase of 2.1% compared to the same period in 2024, which could indicate a potential rebound or merely a short-term fluctuation. Overall, California's total vehicle registrations rose by 3.3% from 2024 to 2025, but electric vehicle (EV) sales slightly decreased from 385,513 to 378,216, reducing EV market share from 22.0
