Why are so many Tesla owners suddenly trying to sell? The numbers are staggering. In March alone, over 13,000 used Teslas were listed for sale on Autotrader, the most ever recorded. This spike wasn’t just an outlier—it marked a 67% increase from the same time last year. What’s driving this shift? Some point to market saturation, others to brand fatigue. But underneath it all is a deeper discomfort with Elon Musk himself and his increasingly political persona. As he has stepped into a new role as head of the Department of Government Efficiency—also known as DOGE—and aligned himself with right-wing politics, including close ties to the Trump administration, the Tesla brand appears to be losing its luster, especially among the progressive-leaning buyers who once championed it. The question isn't just why people are selling, but what this sudden exodus says about the future of Tesla—and the EV industry as a whole.
