Tesla is agitation, it is a fact. Its sales of new vehicles are falling worldwide (-63% in France, for example, in January), as well as their value market assessment.
This movement has clearly accelerated since the arrival of Elon Musk to the White House with Donald Trump. His positions, his escapes, his support for the extreme European right, his hostile words to diversity caused some rejection by consumers.
Rejection that is relaxing in particular by violent actions Against the company, but also probably for a jump in the Tesla number in the second -hand market, especially in France.
It is the Le Bon Coin site, one of the main players in the sale of used vehicles, which ignited the fuse. “The used Tesla market is experiencing an interesting dynamic in early 2025 in Leboncoin. We observe a significant increase of 30% of the ads compared to the previous semester, including an acceleration of 50% during the last month,” explains Olivier Flavier, director of Leboincoin.
An interest that flexes
“Although the interest of buyers for the brand has been slightly flexed, from 40% to 37% of opinions in the category of electric vehicles, the prices of the concessionaires maintain the attractiveness of these vehicles,” he continues.
Even so, according to the site, it is located in the Paca region and in Auverne-Rhône-Alpes that the ads are the most numerous.
As for the prices of vehicles that are placed in the market, they would also be low, an additional test of a demand drop. Le Bon Coin thus observes an “average decrease of 3,000 euros in the prices of Tesla ads in recent weeks, or about 10% of the price (an average of around 35,000 euros)”.
BFM Business interviewed other sales platforms to try to confirm this trend.
In Auto Auto, a spokesman tells us, on the contrary, not seeing any remarkable development around Tesla, while specifying that the number of vehicles offered on the occasion of the American brand is historically low.
A tendency to put in perspective
In Autoscout24, we confirm at European level (Germany, Italy, Spain, France, the Netherlands, Belgium, Luxembourg and Austria) the trend observed by Le Bon Coin in France.
“They are mainly 3 E models and those that seem to suffer the crisis of trust with a strong increase in the increase of 29% and 37% respectively (between February 2024 and February 2025) and the downward prices of 18% and 13%, even if the vehicles have aged a bit and, therefore, have a little more kilometers,” says Vancart, CEO, CEO. In short, the simple logic of supply and demand?
However, “older models and models, on the contrary, they seem to be less sold,” is a nuance. The number of vehicles offered is in fact 40 and 34% during the same period.
So difficult to talk about a clear trend. Besides, Depending on the analysis Of Bertrand Moreau, who claims to be on their social networks as “observer of electric mobility and the automotive sector for 40 years”, we must put the advanced data in perspective.
“Around 3,000 Tesla vehicles are currently on sale in the right corner (March 16). Therefore, around 1.6% of the current Tesla Park is for sale. In January 2023, this rate was 2.8% (2,100 ADS exhibited for a 75,879 Tesla park). Therefore, there is currently a proportion less for sale for sale,” he said only, “he said.
And to specify, “2% of Tesla Model 3 in France is currently the object of an online ad in the right corner and 0.8% of the Y model. In comparison with the competition, these two Tesla are clearly underrepresented in the right corner, taking into account the volume of registered vehicles. Therefore, there is a small model 3 Tesla 3 and online.”
BFMTV editorial staff also contacted the twenty Tesla owners who have published an online ad in the right corner in recent weeks. In almost 15 answers, none explained to sell his car due to Elon Musk’s behavior.
“I’ve been riding in Tesla for 10 years and, if I sell it, it’s because I bought another one, new,” said a first seller. “No, nothing to do,” two other owners of Tesla simply responded.
