BYD Just Added Another Problem to Tesla's Long List
There is a heated price war in China's EV market. BYD just unleashed a new round of intense price cuts. Tesla has problems outside of China, too, such as Europe. These 10 stocks could mint the next wave of millionaires › Tesla (NASDAQ: TSLA) investors have been on a bit of a roller coaster ride so far in 2025. The technology company's stock was up early in the year before falling as much as 45% in March and April, and then partially recovering so that it now trades down about 15% for the year. It still trades nearly 28% below all-time highs reached in December 2024. Along the way, there have been constant challenges, including a price war in China, severely declining sales in Europe, and brand backlash related to CEO Elon Musk's involvement in national and international politics. The coaster ride could potentially turn downhill again this month, thanks to China-based electric vehicle (EV) maker BYD's (OTC: BYDDY) recent move to slash prices. The action will apply more pressure to a now-challenging Chinese market that Tesla used to dominate. Let's dig into the details. China's EV market is in the midst of a highly contested battle for market share that includes a brutal price war brought on by multiple factors, including government subsidies, a long list of competing products, and a slowing global economy. These dynamics likely prompted BYD's big move late last month to make vehicle price cuts of as much as 34% on 22 electric and plug-in hybrid vehicle models (effective through the end of June). The announced cuts came after BYD reported its slowest year-over-year sales growth (up 21% in April) in more than four years. BYD's price cuts are likely to force its competitors to enlarge discounts to avoid giving up sales and market share. According to Bloomberg Intelligence, the average vehicle discount in China is around 15% so far this year, but analysts warn it could get even worse during the second half of the year. Even one of Tesla's biggest supporters, Morgan Stanley's Adam Jonas, expressed skepticism that Tesla could catch the competition in China. Jonas suggested Tesla's future is now even more tied to its upcoming launch of a robotaxi service on June 12. A report in the industry website InsideEVs quoted the Morgan Stanley analysis, which summed things up by saying, "We recommend investors have a look at the pictures and specs of the Xiaomi YU7, which looks like a Ferrari or Aston Martin SUV at the price of a Toyota Camry. Then ask yourself if Tesla would be better off introducing more steering-wheel-having EVs." BYD's price cuts add to Tesla's problems overseas. The eventuality of Chinese automakers setting sail for the U.S. market will increase EV competition significantly and exacerbate the issue. Tesla's challenges extend beyond the brutal price war in China. The company has been watching sales plunge in Europe, where the company also once dominated. Tesla's new car registrations in Europe plunged to 7,261 units in April, a decline of 49% over the previous April, according to the European Automobile Manufacturers Association. Through April, Tesla sold roughly 61,000 vehicles in Europe, a 39% decline compared to the same period last year. The automaker's results overseas are certainly weighing on its global sales, which were down 13% during the first quarter -- the worst quarterly decline in the company's history. Tesla has definitely faced adversity in 2025, but there is a little bit of good news for investors. In a recent post on X (formerly Twitter), Musk said he's back to spending 24/7 at work and sleeping in Tesla's conference, server, or factory rooms. Hopefully, with Musk returning his focus to the automotive business, the brand backlash related to his extracurricular activities will eventually blow over. For Tesla, that can't come soon enough. Despite the potential buying opportunity here while the stock is down -- and if you truly believe in Tesla long-term, it is an opportunity -- it might be wise to watch Tesla from the sidelines for the time being. If you're already a shareholder, there's no reason to sell. But know that, right now, the company seems to be facing an identity crisis: is it a robotaxi company, a car manufacturer, or a developer of AI and robotics? It might be wise to wait to invest in Tesla until its strategy forward is more certain. Ever feel like you missed the boat in buying the most successful stocks? Then you'll want to hear this. On rare occasions, our expert team of analysts issues a 'Double Down' stock recommendation for companies that they think are about to pop. If you're worried you've already missed your chance to invest, now is the best time to buy before it's too late. And the numbers speak for themselves: Nvidia: if you invested $1,000 when we doubled down in 2009, you'd have $356,261!* Apple: if you invested $1,000 when we doubled down in 2008, you'd have $38,291!* Netflix: if you invested $1,000 when we doubled down in 2004, you'd have $657,385!* Right now, we're issuing 'Double Down' alerts for three incredible companies, available when you join , and there may not be another chance like this anytime soon.*Stock Advisor returns as of June 2, 2025 Daniel Miller has no position in any of the stocks mentioned.
