Continuing coverage in our 2025 U.S. EV Sales series, Tesla's core mass-market vehicles proved resilient. The Model Y crossover delivered 357,528 units per Kelley Blue Book's Q4 2025 report—a 4.0% year-over-year decline due to production disruptions at the Fremont Factory and Gigafactory Texas during its refresh—but retained a commanding 39.5% market share as the top-selling EV.
The Model 3 sedan recorded 192,440 sales, a 1.3% increase from 2024, capturing 15.9% share. Combined, the duo accounted for more than half of US EV sales, with Tesla overall at 58.9% of deliveries according to Cox Automotive data.
This performance held firm despite political controversies around CEO Elon Musk and softer demand for premium models like Cybertruck, Model S, and Model X. It counters concerns of fading interest, affirming that affordability and brand familiarity propel adoption in the evolving EV segment.
