Elon Musks Tesla overtook Mercedes-Benz in global sales in the third quarter of 2025, according to the two companies quarterly sales reports. Musk drew attention to the milestone by sharing a post on X on Tuesday highlighting that his company had beaten the German luxury carmaker for the first time ever.
Tesla sold a record 497,099 vehicles globally between July and September, slightly surpassing the previous record set in the final quarter of 2024, according to their quarterly report. The figure represents a 29% jump from the 384,122 units sold in the second quarter and a 7% increase compared to the same period last year. It also marked the first quarter this year that Tesla posted year-over-year growth.
Musk reposted a summary noting that Tesla sold 55,599, or 12.6% more vehicles than Mercedes in the third quarter. The post noted that Mercedes built its first car back in 1901, while Tesla debuted just 21 years ago, in 2004.
Mercedes, one of the worlds most valuable luxury car brands, reported on Tuesday that it sold 441,500 vehicles, a 12% decline from the same period last year. Sales in the US and China, its largest markets, dropped 17% and 27%, respectively.
The company blamed US President Donald Trumps import duties and rising competition in China, where domestic automakers such as BYD and Xiaomi are gaining market share with feature-packed electric cars that undercut traditional brands on price.
Teslas Q3 report sparked a rally in its stock last week, briefly boosting Musks net worth to $500.8 billion, according to Forbes real-time billionaire tracker C making him the first person ever to cross the half-trillion-dollar mark.
Market experts, however, caution that Teslas surge may be temporary. They say the jump in sales was likely driven by US buyers rushing to purchase vehicles before the expiration of a $7,500 federal tax credit on September 30. The credit, introduced under former President Joe Bidens administration in 2022, was scrapped under Trumps new spending and tax bill. Analysts warn that its removal could slow sales in the coming months. Teslas year-to-date sales remain down 6% compared to the same period in 2024.
根据两家公司的季度销售报告，埃隆·马斯克（Elon Musk）旗下的特斯拉在2025年第三季度全球销量超越梅赛德斯-奔驰。马斯克周二在X平台上发文强调这一里程碑事件，指出其公司首次击败这家德国豪华汽车制造商。
特斯拉季度报告显示，该公司在7月至9月期间全球售出497,099辆汽车，创下历史新高，略微超过2024年最后一季度创下的纪录。这一数字较第二季度售出的384,122辆增长了29%，与去年同期相比上升了7%。这也是特斯拉今年首次实现同比增长的季度。
马斯克转发了一份总结报告，其中指出特斯拉第三季度售出55,599辆汽车，比奔驰多出12.6%。该帖子提到，奔驰早在1901年就制造了第一辆汽车，而特斯拉仅21年前（2004年）才问世。
梅赛德斯（Mercedes）作为全球最具价值的豪华汽车品牌之一，周二报告称其销量为44.15万辆，较去年同期下降12%。在其最大市场美国和中国，销量分别下滑17%和27%。
该公司将原因归咎于美国总统唐纳德·特朗普实施的进口关税政策以及中国市场竞争加剧——比亚迪、小米等本土车企正凭借配置丰富、价格低于传统品牌的电动汽车不断抢占市场份额。
据《福布斯》实时亿万富豪榜数据显示，特斯拉第三季度财报引发其股价上周大涨，马斯克（Elon Musk）净资产一度飙升至5008亿美元，成为全球首位突破5000亿美元大关的富豪。
然而市场专家警告称，特斯拉的销量激增可能只是暂时的。他们认为，这波销售热潮很可能是因为美国消费者抢在9月30日7500美元联邦税收抵免政策到期前购车所致。这项由前总统乔·拜登政府于2022年推出的补贴政策，已被特朗普的新支出与税收法案废除。分析师警告称，抵免政策的取消可能导致未来数月销量放缓。与2024年同期相比，特斯拉今年累计销量仍下降6%。
