BYD supera a Tesla en Europa: lanzamientos agresivos y precios competitivos

BYD Co Ltd

The European automotive market saw a 5.1% decline in new car registrations during June as the European Union saw sales slip 7.3% YoY. Tesla Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/TSLA#NASDAQ">TSLA</a>) recorded a huge decline in sales, even as EV sales surged in the region.
What Happened: The region recorded 1,243,375 vehicles, including electric vehicles, Hybrids and ICE-powered vehicles, during June 2025, the ACEA or European Automobile Manufacturers' Association said on Wednesday.
The data suggests June 2024 saw the region record over 1,311,043 vehicles, indicating a 5.1% YoY decline. Despite overall sales going down, EV sales in the region recorded a 14.5% surge, with Germany registering over 47,163 EV units.
However, Tesla continued to experience sluggish sales as the EV giant recorded a 22.9% decline, registering 34,781 sales, down from last year's 45,087 sales. Tesla's market share in June slipped to 2.8% in the region.
Why It Matters: The news comes as shares of <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/eurozone/25/07/46567342/bmw-volkswagen-stellantis-rally-as-trumps-japan-trade-pact-fuels-hopes-for-eu-deal-but-analysts-warn-its-impossible-to-predict">top European automakers</a> rallied in the hopes of a trade deal breakthrough after President Donald Trump announced a <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/economic-data/25/07/46562556/trump-says-550-billion-trade-deal-with-japan-reached-that-will-create-thousands-of-jobs-there-has-never-been-anything-like-it">deal with Japan</a> with 15% tariffs imposed on imports into the U.S.
Elsewhere, Tesla's sales decline in June follows an ongoing trend that saw the automaker's <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/tech/25/07/46565871/tesla-sales-drop-21-in-california-ahead-of-q2-earnings-market-share-slips-even-as-model-y-model-3-remain-top-evs">sales fall in the U.S.</a>, coinciding with the company reporting a 12% drop in revenue for the second quarter during <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/tech/25/07/46594297/elon-musk-aims-to-deploy-robotaxis-to-serve-half-the-us-population-by-the-end-of-2025-targets-million-optimus-units-annually-as-fast-as-its-humanly-possible">its earnings call</a> on Wednesday.
On the other hand, Tesla's Chinese rival BYD Co. Ltd. (OTC:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/BYDDY#OTC">BYDDY</a>) (OTC:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/BYDDF#OTC">BYDDF</a>) is gearing up to launch its sub-brands Denza and luxury-focused Yangwang into <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/tech/25/07/46538952/tesla-rival-byds-global-expansion-continues-as-luxury-brand-yangwang-set-for-european-debut-in-2026">the European region</a> sometime next year as the company's global expansion push continues.

Elon Musk's Tesla Loses Ground In Europe — Sales Down 23% Even As EV Market Grows

BYD Co. Ltd. (OTC:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/BYDDY#OTC">BYDDY</a>) (OTC:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/BYDDF#OTC">BYDDF</a>) is going ahead full steam with its global expansion plans as the Chinese EV giant's luxury brand, Yangwang, will officially enter the European market next year.
What Happened: Yangwang's debut in Europe will follow the launch of BYD's other sub-brand Denza early next year, Stella Li, BYD's Vice President, told Autocar <a href="https://www.autocar.co.uk/car-news/new-cars/byd-primes-bentley-rivalling-yangwang-brand-european-launch">on</a> Monday.
Li said that Yangwang cars, including the U9 and U8 as well as the U7 sedan, are all slated to launch in Europe next year.
However, the report does not highlight whether BYD plans to offer its cars at prices lower than would-be competitors like Ferrari and Bentley. BYD's EVs are subject to 17% tariffs by the EU, the report suggests, which could impact the Tesla Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/TSLA#NASDAQ">TSLA</a>) rival's pricing strategy.
Why It Matters: The news comes as BYD's sales in the Chinese <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/asia/25/07/46514949/tesla-rival-byds-domestic-sales-slip-8-in-june-analysts-slash-annual-delivery-projections-amid-ev-price-war-scrutiny">market are down 8%</a>, with many analysts adjusting the expected deliveries by the company for 2025. BYD has said it's targeting over 5.5 million units delivered this year.
However, the company's <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/tech/25/07/46187880/tesla-rival-byd-launches-11000-long-range-trim-of-its-best-selling-seagull-ev-as-price-war-heats-up">aggressive pricing strategy</a> has triggered concerns among the government officials in Beijing, who have vowed to <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/tech/25/07/46460051/china-says-it-will-regulate-phenomenon-of-irrational-competition-amid-ev-price-war-report">regulate the "irrational" EV price war</a> in the country.
Elsewhere, rival Tesla recorded over <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/tech/25/07/46538423/tesla-weekly-sales-in-china-fall-nearly-20-slipping-below-10k-units">9.9k new insured registrations</a> in the Chinese market during the week between July 14 to July 20, in what is a slowdown of sales for Elon Musk's EV giant.

Tesla Rival BYD's Global Expansion Continues As Luxury Brand Yangwang Set For European Debut In 2026

Chinese EV giant BYD Co. Ltd. (OTC:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/BYDDY#OTC">BYDDY</a>) (OTC:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/BYDDF#OTC">BYDDF</a>) experienced an 8% year-over-year slip in Chinese sales during June.
What Happened: The company experienced a slip in sales as rivals like Xiaomi Corp (OTC:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/XIACY#OTC">XIACY</a>), Xpeng Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/XPEV#NASDAQ">XPEV</a>), etc. gained in sales, Bloomberg reported <a href="https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2025-07-21/life-atop-china-s-car-market-is-starting-to-look-shaky-for-byd">on</a> Monday.
Analysts from investment banks like Deutsche Bank expect the company to hit 5 million wholesale units in 2025, the report suggests, while Morgan Stanley lowered its projection to 5.3 million.
BYD would need to sell over 560,000 units a month to meet its annual delivery projection for 2025 of 5.5 million units sold, which could prove difficult amid electric vehicle price war scrutiny by the Chinese Communist Party, according to the report. 
However, BYD's overseas sales are on track to reach the 800,000 unit milestone the company set out to deliver this year, with 60% of that figure already achieved by BYD, the report suggests.
Why It Matters: The news comes as BYD has adopted an aggressive pricing strategy in the Chinese market with discounted prices amid fierce competition in the sector, which has <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/topics/25/06/45715047/byds-aggressive-pricing-triggers-ev-rat-race-stock-tumbles-authorities-voice-concern">raised concerns within</a> the Chinese government.
Despite scrutiny, BYD released <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/tech/25/07/46187880/tesla-rival-byd-launches-11000-long-range-trim-of-its-best-selling-seagull-ev-as-price-war-heats-up">a long-range version</a> of its best-selling EV, the Seagull EV, for $11,000 in the market, as well as the <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/tech/25/06/45855643/tesla-rival-byd-launches-15000-seal-06-sedan-as-chinas-ev-price-war-heats-up">Seal 06 EV</a> for $15,000 in China.
Elsewhere, BYD's fellow Chinese automakers Zeekr Intelligent Technologies Holdings Ltd. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/ZK#NYSE">ZK</a>) and Neta have been accused of <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/asia/25/07/46512860/tesla-rival-geelys-zeekr-neta-inflated-sales-data-in-china-through-insurance-scheme-amid-zero-mileage-used-cars-row-report">inflating sales data </a>through insurance schemes in the country, according to reports in Chinese state media.
Elsewhere, Tesla Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/TSLA#NASDAQ">TSLA</a>) has recorded <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/tech/25/07/46409821/tesla-rebounds-in-china-with-12-3k-weekly-registrations-highest-2nd-week-ever">over 12.3k insured registrations</a> for the second week of July, which is a strong rebound for Elon Musk's EV giant after a poor start to the month in China.

Tesla Rival BYD's Domestic Sales Slip 8% In June, Analysts Slash Annual Delivery Projections Amid EV Price War Scrutiny

Next week, all eyes will be on electric vehicle leader Tesla Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/TSLA#NASDAQ">TSLA</a>) as the company is scheduled to release its<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/TSLA/earnings"> financial results for the second quarter</a>. Analysts will be looking for earnings per share of 42 cents on revenue of $22.79 billion. In the year-ago quarter, Tesla posted EPS of 52 cents on sales of $25.5 billion, thus reflecting significant changes in the broader EV ecosystem.
Nevertheless, the bulls will be looking for positive signals — and they wouldn't be unjustified in their optimism. Fundamentally, one of the most significant catalysts for Tesla's business is last month's <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/tech/25/06/46097512/robotaxi-roll-out-tesla-uber-and-waymo-take-diverging-roads-to-autonomy">rollout of its Robotaxi model</a>. Admittedly, the EV manufacturer is new to the space and faces significant competition from Uber Technologies, Inc. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/UBER#NYSE">UBER</a>) and Waymo. However, with the Robotaxi launch, there's<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/tech/25/06/46048103/teslas-robotaxi-rollout-sparks-expansion-buzz-elon-musks-company-says-fsd-can-be-deployed-anywhere-after-austin-launch"> much buzz about the expansion of the initiative</a>.
Another potential tailwind may stem from Tesla's energy-related division. In June, the company announced that it had signed an<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/asia/25/06/46022846/elon-musks-tesla-to-build-first-grid-scale-energy-storage-site-in-china-with-550-million-investment"> energy storage deal</a> with Shanghai amid trade uncertainty between Washington and Beijing. Specifically, Tesla will set up its first grid-scale energy storage station in Shanghai using the company's Megapack batteries, per a Reuters report. The deal involves an investment of over 4 billion yuan or $550 million.
Finally, in terms of bullish factors, it's difficult to ignore the resilience of TSLA stock. For example, in the first quarter, Tesla<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/earnings/25/04/44937440/tesla-q1-misses-estimates-as-tariff-pressures-weigh-on-outlook-lower-cost-evs-still-on-track"> delivered disappointing results</a>, missing on both the top and bottom lines. Yet TSLA stock was no worse for wear, soaring higher despite the ugly print.
Although the positives seem robust, the EV maker isn't without concerns. One of the biggest headwinds is also the most conspicuous from a branding perspective: the<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/topics/25/07/46252465/cybertruck-dreams-shatter-as-musks-250k-goal-unravels"> unraveling of the Cybertruck</a>. Initially, Tesla CEO Elon Musk had grand ambitions for the futuristic ride, with a planned production capacity of 250,000 vehicles annually. However, last year, only 38,965 Cybertrucks were sold, with recent data suggesting the sales trend could be stalling even more.
Furthermore, the competition is heating up. Last month, BYD Co. Ltd. (OTC:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/BYDDY#OTC">BYDDY</a>) (OTC:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/BYDDF#OTC">BYDDF</a>) sent a shot across the bow by<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/tech/25/06/45969242/elon-musk-has-a-new-problem-byd-beats-tesla-in-global-ev-sales-amid-europe-expansion"> edging past Tesla in terms of global sales</a> for the first time. This remarkable development can be attributed to BYD's expansion in multiple regions, particularly the European market.
The Direxion ETFs: With narratives clashing on the EV expressway, sentiment-agnostic traders have an opportunity to play both sides with Direxion's exchange-traded funds. For the optimists, the <a href="https://www.direxion.com/product/daily-tsla-bull-and-bear-leveraged-single-stock-etfs?utm_source=Referral&amp;utm_medium=Text&amp;utm_source_platform=Benzinga&amp;utm_campaign=LandI_Product_TSLL-TSLS">Direxion Daily TSLA Bull 2X Shares</a> (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/TSLL#NASDAQ">TSLL</a>) track 200% of the performance of TSLA stock. For pessimistic traders, the <a href="https://www.direxion.com/product/daily-tsla-bull-and-bear-leveraged-single-stock-etfs?utm_source=Referral&amp;utm_medium=Text&amp;utm_source_platform=Benzinga&amp;utm_campaign=LandI_Product_TSLL-TSLS">Direxion Daily TSLA Bear 1X Shares</a> (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/TSLS#NASDAQ">TSLS</a>) track 100% of the inverse performance of the namesake security.
In either case, the main function of these Direxion ETFs is to provide a convenient mechanism for speculation. Typically, traders who wish to use leverage or to open short positions must engage the options market. However, financial derivatives carry complexities that not all investors want to accept. In contrast, Direxion ETFs can be bought and sold much like any other publicly traded security, thus mitigating the learning curve.
Still, prospective participants must be aware of these funds' unique risks. First, leveraged and inverse ETFs tend to be more volatile than standard funds tracking a benchmark index like the S&amp;P 500. Second, Direxion ETFs are designed for exposure lasting no longer than one day. Holding beyond the recommended period could lead to value decay due to daily compounding.
The TSLL ETF: Since the start of the year, the TSLL ETF has suffered significant volatility, losing just under 57% amid Tesla's competitive challenges.
<ul class="wp-block-list">
<li>Presently, the Tesla bull fund is trading below both its 50-day moving average and the 200 DMA, reflecting broader weakness.</li>
<li>However, it's also possible that the TSLL ETF may be charting a pennant formation, which could suggest a sentiment reversal.</li>

The TSLS ETF: While a better relative performer than its counterpart, the TSLS ETF is still down about 5% on a year-to-date basis.
<ul class="wp-block-list">
<li>Curiously, the TSLS ETF also finds itself struggling below its 50 and 200 DMAs, though the underperformance to the former is less pronounced.</li>

Earnings Speculation Drives Intrigue For Direxion's TSLA-Focused Bull And Bear Funds

The Chinese Government vows to regulate the fiercely competitive EV price war currently taking the country's domestic car market by storm, calling it a "phenomenon of irrational competition."
What Happened: The Chinese cabinet vowed to strengthen cost investigation and price monitoring in the country's car market, Reuters reported on Wednesday, citing Chinese state broadcaster CCTV.
The CCP will focus on promoting the development of high-quality EVs in the industry and implement short- and long-term measures to curb the EV price war in the country, the report suggests.
The report also suggests the government will urge automakers to uphold supplier payment commitments. The meeting also discussed ways to boost domestic consumption by removing restrictions on household spending.
Why It Matters: The news comes as the government in the past had <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/topics/25/06/45715047/byds-aggressive-pricing-triggers-ev-rat-race-stock-tumbles-authorities-voice-concern">raised concerns</a> about the increasingly cutthroat competition between automakers in the EV sector.
The government also brought in a regulation in March, requiring manufacturers to <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/tech/25/06/45878086/tesla-rivals-byd-xpeng-pledge-faster-supplier-payments-amid-ev-price-war-in-china-report">clear dues to suppliers</a> within 60 days. The regulations kicked into effect starting in June, leading to automakers pledging to clear supplier dues.
Elsewhere, despite scrutiny and criticism, Chinese EV giant BYD Co. Ltd. (OTC:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/BYDDY#OTC">BYDDY</a>) (OTC:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/BYDDF#OTC">BYDDF</a>) released a <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/tech/25/07/46187880/tesla-rival-byd-launches-11000-long-range-trim-of-its-best-selling-seagull-ev-as-price-war-heats-up">longer-range version</a> of its best-selling Seagull EV for $11,000 in China, with a claimed CLTC range of 252 miles.

What's Going On With Tesla Stock On Wednesday?

Apple Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AAPL#NASDAQ">AAPL</a>) supplier Foxconn is set to enter the Japanese market with the company's bespoke EV buses, thanks to subsidies offered by the Taiwanese government.
What Happened: Purchasing and operating EVs certified by the government is eligible for receiving over $181,000 in subsidies, almost half the value of an EV bus, Nikkei Asia reported <a href="https://asia.nikkei.com/Business/Automobiles/Electric-vehicles/Foxconn-EV-buses-set-to-enter-Japan-on-back-of-Taiwan-subsidies">on</a> Tuesday.
Foxconn's Model T bus is one of 6 eligible EV buses to receive the subsidies. The Model T offers a range of over 249 miles (400 kilometers) on a single charge, the report suggests.
The company plans to launch the Model T as well as the Model U microbus in Japan by 2027, supplying parts to Mitsubishi Fuso Truck and Bus Corporation, the report suggests.
Why It Matters: The news comes as Foxconn had earlier <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/05/45667851/apple-supplier-foxconn-set-to-announce-second-japanese-auto-partner-as-it-turns-to-evs">signed an MoU</a> or Memorandum of Understanding with Japan's Mitsubishi Motors to jointly develop an EV.
Other Chinese companies are also bolstering their presence, with Chinese EV giant BYD Co. Ltd. (OTC:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/BYDDY#OTC">BYDDY</a>) (OTC:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/BYDDF#OTC">BYDDF</a>) expanding its <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/25/05/45560953/byds-europe-pivot-in-full-swing-with-new-26000-affordable-ev-amid-tesla-sal">footprint in Europe</a>. BYD also launched the <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/tech/25/07/46187880/tesla-rival-byd-launches-11000-long-range-trim-of-its-best-selling-seagull-ev-as-price-war-heats-up">long-range version</a> of its best-selling Seagull EV for $11,000 in China.
Elsewhere, Xiaomi Corp (OTC:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/XIACY#OTC">XIACY</a>) (OTC:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/XIACF#OTC">XIACF</a>) CEO Lei Jun also shared that the company plans to expand its presence <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/asia/25/07/46241878/tesla-rival-xiaomi-wants-to-sell-cars-internationally-starting-2027-ceo-lei-jun-says">in other markets</a> and sell its cars internationally.

Apple Supplier Foxconn To Enter Japanese Market With EV Buses Backed By Taiwan Subsidies

A leading <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/topic/mining">global miner</a>, BHP (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/BHP#NYSE">BHP</a>), has signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) with FinDreams Battery Co., a subsidiary of the Chinese EV and battery manufacturer BYD Group (OTCPK: BYDDF).
The partnership, <a href="https://www.bhp.com/news/media-centre/releases/2025/07/bhp-explores-opportunities-with-byd-in-battery-electrification">announced today</a>, will help the electrification of BHP's operations. The two parties will work on innovative battery-powered solutions for heavy mining machinery, light vehicle fleets, and the essential charging infrastructure, all aimed at helping BHP achieve its goal of lowering carbon emissions.
"This relationship is a further step towards BHP meeting our decarbonisation ambitions for our operations and helping to drive transformative change within the global resources industry," said Rashpal Bhatti, BHP's Group Procurement Officer. "BYD is at the cutting edge of battery innovation, and by working together, we can help shape a more productive and sustainable future for mining."
The partnership will help BHP achieve its long-term net-zero operational emission target by 2050, as well as its medium-term goal of reducing emissions by at least 30% (compared to 2020) by 2030. Electrification is a lucrative proposal for miners since fossil fuel price volatility can notably influence their cost of operations. However, this shift brings along challenges in energy and infrastructure.
McKinsey's <a href="https://www.mckinsey.com/industries/metals-and-mining/our-insights/electrifying-mines-could-double-their-electricity-demand">research</a> estimates that electrifying the mobile fleet in the global iron ore sector alone could lead to a surge in electricity demand by 20 to 30 terawatt-hours, more than doubling consumption at many sites, driving significant capital investments.&nbsp; Per their estimates, the power infrastructure for just the iron ore mining industry could cost anywhere from $30 to $45 billion. Mines would have to upgrade grid connections, install substations, and expand renewable energy generation.
Yet, not everything falls within the mining industry's control. The technological development of batteries will play an important role in this endeavor. To support intensive use in mining operations, batteries need to be of larger scale, with higher density and faster charge rate – else the industry risks compromising productivity.
BHP's rival Fortescue Metals provided some orientation with their large-scale <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/large-cap/24/09/41021967/fortescue-announces-2-8b-electrification-deal-chairman-claims-future-is-zero-emissions">electrification effort</a> in 2024. A $2.8 billion order was for 475 zero-emission machines, including 360 battery-electric haul trucks. Despite its ambitions to reach net-zero by 2030, Fortescue had to cut 700 jobs and pause some <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/large-cap/24/07/39836855/fortescue-delays-green-hydrogen-ambitions-reaffirms-commitment-to-future-projects">green hydrogen investments</a> amid high energy costs and falling iron ore prices.
Yet at 4 times the market cap, BHP is a much larger player, with the capacity to absorb such capex. Still, producing cleaner commodities will require not only strategic partnerships but also regulatory clarity and technological breakthroughs.

BHP Partners With BYD's FinDreams For Mine Electrification

<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/topic/donald-trump" target="_blank" rel="noopener">President Donald Trump</a>'s latest salvo on trade policy has rattled markets, and auto giants like Tesla Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/TSLA#NASDAQ">TSLA</a>) and big tech like Apple Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AAPL#NASDAQ">AAPL</a>) may bear the brunt. Trump has floated the idea of <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/equities/25/07/46382047/trump-targets-mexico-eu-with-30-tariffs">imposing 30% tariffs</a> on imports from the European Union and Mexico, two regions that play a crucial role in both companies&#8217; global supply chains and revenue streams.
For investors, the risk isn't just theoretical &#8211; it could mean real pressure on margins, pricing and stock performance.

<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Apple's Mexican Lifeline Could Snap</h2>
Apple relies increasingly on Mexico for final assembly and component manufacturing, including parts for iPhones, MacBooks, and AirPods. While most of its core manufacturing is based in China, Apple has been actively diversifying its supply chain to mitigate geopolitical risk.
Ironically, these new tariffs could penalize the very diversification strategy that they aim to support. Higher import costs from Mexico could squeeze Apple's margins or force it to pass the costs on to consumers, which is never a good look in a competitive smartphone market.
The EU also represents a significant revenue pool for Apple, with Europe accounting for roughly 24% of total sales in recent quarters. Any retaliation from the bloc could complicate pricing, tax treatment, or even product approvals.
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Tesla's EU Exposure Makes It Especially Vulnerable</h2>
Tesla may be even more exposed. The company operates a gigafactory in Germany, and the EU is one of Tesla&#8217;s fastest-growing markets outside the U.S. If Trump's tariff policy triggers a trade war or reciprocal measures, Tesla could face hurdles both in exporting parts and in selling vehicles across borders. It's a tough blow just as the EV maker is trying to defend market share against BYD Co (OTCPK: BYDDF) (OTCPK: BYDDY) and legacy automakers.
Investors should pay close attention: while tariffs may not be imminent, the political narrative could impact capital flows and sentiment around multinationals with cross-border footprints.

Tesla And Apple Face Brand-New Wrecking Ball—Thanks To Trump

Chinese officials have reportedly cooled on&nbsp;Elon Musk, the CEO of&nbsp;Tesla Inc.&nbsp;(NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/TSLA#NASDAQ">TSLA</a>), as a potential geopolitical asset due to his public fallout with President&nbsp;Donald Trump.
What Happened: In January, Chinese Vice President&nbsp;Han Zheng&nbsp;met with Musk in Washington, expressing Beijing&#8217;s hope that Musk would play a constructive role in U.S.-China relations,&nbsp;<a href="https://www.wsj.com/business/autos/tesla-china-elon-musk-0f38940e?st=3kgiF7&amp;reflink=article_copyURL_share">according</a> to The Wall Street Journal. However, Musk&#8217;s response was reportedly lukewarm and due to his now strained relationship with Trump, Beijing no longer sees Musk as a valuable &#8220;geopolitical asset&#8221; and is unlikely to publicly engage with him.
One of the sources, who consults with Chinese officials, stated, &#8220;Tesla remains important for China&#8230;but&nbsp;for authorities, helping domestic companies&nbsp;still matters more.&#8221; This is a significant setback for Musk, who has been focusing on Tesla&#8217;s operations in China, its second-largest market by revenue.
Nevertheless, China remains important for Tesla, especially as its sales in the U.S. and Europe have declined, partly due to Musk&#8217;s past ties with Trump. China also serves as a crucial testing hub for technologies such as Full Self-Driving (FSD) and autonomous taxis, which are among Musk&#8217;s top priorities.

Why It Matters: Musk&#8217;s relationship with China is crucial for Tesla&#8217;s future. Despite the recent cooling of Musk&#8217;s geopolitical value, Tesla&#8217;s sales in China have seen a rise. In June, Tesla saw a&nbsp;3.7% year-over-year <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/tech/25/07/46239731/elon-musks-tesla-sales-surge-3-7-in-china-as-other-markets-cool">increase in sales&nbsp;</a>in the Chinese domestic market, amid declining sales in other markets. 
However, Tesla continues to face stiff competition from local rivals like <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/tech/25/07/46215206/tesla-rival-byd-reports-2025s-best-selling-month-in-june-amid-exports-surge">BYD</a> (OTC:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/BYDDF#OTC">BYDDF</a>), which reported its best sales performance of 2025 in June.
Despite this, Musk has found an unlikely source of support in Chinese netizens. Amid his feud with Trump, Chinese social media users have been&nbsp;<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/25/07/46252278/after-trump-warns-elon-musk-to-close-up-shop-china-rallies-behind-worlds-richest-man-theres-no-need">rallying behind Musk</a>, hailing his stance against Trump. However, the recent cooling of Musk&#8217;s geopolitical value in China could pose a significant challenge for Tesla&#8217;s future in the country.

Beijing Rejects Elon Musk As A 'Geopolitical Asset': Lukewarm Response To Chinese Diplomatic Overreach, Trump Feud Reportedly Diminishes Musk's Value

Tesla Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/TSLA#NASDAQ">TSLA</a>) sales in the UK surged over 12% year-on-year in June as Elon Musk's EV giant's Q2 delivery figures fared better than initially predicted by experts.
What Happened: Tesla sold 7,891 units in the UK during June, compared to June 2024&#8217;s 7,019 units, data from NewAutomotive obtained by Reuters showcased on Friday.
The data also suggests that UK EV sales grew by 45.5%, with a 12.8% growth in total car sales in the region. The market as a whole registered 187,655 units in June. 
Tesla's Chinese rival, BYD Co. Ltd. (OTC:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/BYDDY#OTC">BYDDY</a>) (OTC:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/BYDDF#OTC">BYDDF</a>), also gained in sales, selling 2,498 units in June. Tesla's total sales in the UK are still down 2%, the data shows.
Why It Matters: The news comes in as Tesla delivered over 384,000 vehicles in Q2, which analysts like Wedbush Securities' Dan Ives hailed as a moment where the <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/tech/25/07/46239998/dan-ives-hails-teslas-better-than-expected-q2-deliveries-says-fireworks-come-early-for-elon-musk-led-ev-giant">&#8220;fireworks&#8221; came early</a> for the company.
Gary Black, managing director of Future Fund LLC, pinned the deliveries on Tesla experiencing <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/tech/25/07/46239731/elon-musks-tesla-sales-surge-3-7-in-china-as-other-markets-cool">strong growth in China</a> during June. "2Q was better than expected, led by refreshed Model Y deliveries and strong quarter-end China deliveries," the investor said as the <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/tech/25/07/46238590/tsla-stock-surges-5-as-q2-deliveries-better-than-feared-gary-black-explains-why-elon-musk-led-tesla-fared-better-than-markets-worst-fears">company stock surged 5%</a>.

Elon Musk-Led Tesla Sales Surge 12% In The UK During June: Q2 Deliveries Beat Analyst Estimates

Tesla Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/TSLA#NASDAQ">TSLA</a>) rival Xiaomi Corp. (OTC:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/XIACY#OTC">XIACY</a>) (OTC:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/XIACF#OTC">XIACF</a>) is exploring options to sell its vehicles overseas.
What Happened: Xiaomi CEO Lei Jun shared the company's plans during a livestream, Reuters reported on Thursday.
Xiaomi is currently focused on domestic deliveries of the SU7 sedan and the YU7 SUV, both of which are all-electric models, according to the CEO.
The report suggests that the Chinese tech giant had earlier shared plans for delivering the first shipments of its vehicles in 2027.
It's unclear whether the company plans to expand into markets within Asia or follow the footsteps of other Chinese companies like BYD Co. Ltd. (OTC:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/BYDDY#OTC">BYDDY</a>) (OTC:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/BYDDF#OTC">BYDDF</a>) and Nio Inc. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/NIO#NYSE">NIO</a>) to expand into Europe.
Why It Matters: Xiaomi's YU7 SUV exceeded expectations as the EV received almost <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/asia/25/06/46132552/telsla-model-y-rival-xiaomi-yu7-suv-receives-nearly-300000-orders-in-1-hour-in-china">300k orders in under an hour</a>. The SUV is pitted against the Tesla Model Y in the Chinese domestic market.
Xiaomi is another automaker currently battling in the fiercely competitive Chinese market, currently embroiled in an <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/topics/25/06/45715047/byds-aggressive-pricing-triggers-ev-rat-race-stock-tumbles-authorities-voice-concern">EV price war</a>, which has raised concerns among authorities within the CCP.
On the other hand, Tesla has experienced a <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/tech/25/07/46239731/elon-musks-tesla-sales-surge-3-7-in-china-as-other-markets-cool">rebound in sales</a> in the Chinese market as the company delivered over 61,000 vehicles during the month of June, sales data suggests.

Tesla Rival Xiaomi Wants To Sell Cars Internationally Starting 2027, CEO Lei Jun Says

BYD Co. Ltd. (OTC:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/BYDDY#OTC">BYDDY</a>) (OTC:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/BYDDF#OTC">BYDDF</a>) has recorded a sale of over 377,628 units in June, which is the Chinese EV giant's best sales performance of 2025 so far.
What Happened: The Tesla Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/TSLA#NASDAQ">TSLA</a>) rival reported an 11% YoY growth in sales during May, according to sales data released on Tuesday.
BYD sold over 206,884 EVs, which accounted for 54.8% of the sales, while 170,744 units were Plug-In Hybrid vehicles. BYD's EV sales grew 42.5%, according to the data.
Interestingly, the brand exported over 90,049 units outside of China, an almost 234% increase from June 2024, when BYD exported over 30,014 units.
Why It Matters: The data comes as BYD has been bolstering its presence both in China as well as in overseas markets. The company recently released a <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/tech/25/07/46187880/tesla-rival-byd-launches-11000-long-range-trim-of-its-best-selling-seagull-ev-as-price-war-heats-up">longer-range variant</a> of its best-selling Seagull EV priced at around $11,000.
The release could help the company cement its already strong position in the Chinese domestic car market. BYD has also denied reports in the media that suggested the company was <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/asia/25/06/46111314/byd-denies-production-cutbacks-amid-ev-price-war-says-output-remains-stable-report">scaling back on production</a> amid China's fiercely competitive <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/topics/25/06/45715047/byds-aggressive-pricing-triggers-ev-rat-race-stock-tumbles-authorities-voice-concern">EV price war</a>.
Overseas, BYD has been targeting the European market, where it released the Euro-spec version of the Seagull, called the <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/25/05/45560953/byds-europe-pivot-in-full-swing-with-new-26000-affordable-ev-amid-tesla-sales-slump">Dolphin Surf EV</a>, for $26,000, as well as setting up a <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/04/45097773/satellite-images-put-tesla-rival-byds-hungarian-factory-capable-of-producing-200k-units-annually-in-the-spotlight">production facility in Hungary</a> capable of producing 200,000 units annually.

Tesla Rival BYD Reports 2025's Best-Selling Month In June Amid Exports Surge

BYD Co. Ltd. (OTC:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/BYDDY#OTC">BYDDY</a>) (OTC:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/BYDDF#OTC">BYDDF</a>) has unveiled a new, longer-range trim of the company's best-selling car, the Seagull EV, in China amid the EV price war.
What Happened: The Tesla Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/TSLA#NASDAQ">TSLA</a>) rival unveiled the long-range trim, priced at $11,000 on Monday. The hatchback offers 252 miles of CLTC range on a single charge, with a 38.9 kWh battery pack.
BYD offers the Seagull in 4 trim levels, with the base Vitality trim offered for $7,800 and the range-topping Flying trim available for $11,800. Seagull is also equipped with BYD's God's Eye advanced driver assistance system.
Why It Matters: The news comes in as BYD has been offering aggressive discounts in the highly competitive Chinese auto industry, which is currently <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/topics/25/06/45715047/byds-aggressive-pricing-triggers-ev-rat-race-stock-tumbles-authorities-voice-concern">grappling with a price war</a>.
BYD also recently released the <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/tech/25/06/45855643/tesla-rival-byd-launches-15000-seal-06-sedan-as-chinas-ev-price-war-heats-up">Seal 06 sedan</a>, priced at $15,000, positioned squarely against the Tesla Model 3, which it undercuts by almost half as the Model 3 retails for around $30,000 in China.
The company has also been expanding its presence in other markets. BYD recently launched the Seagull EV's Euro-spec version, dubbed the <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/25/05/45560953/byds-europe-pivot-in-full-swing-with-new-26000-affordable-ev-amid-tesla-sal">Dolphin Surf EV</a>, which is priced at around $26,000 in the region.
Despite the European expansion, the company has had to deal with some issues, with reports suggesting that the company planned to scale down production, <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/asia/25/06/46111314/byd-denies-production-cutbacks-amid-ev-price-war-says-output-remains-stable-report">which BYD denied</a>.
Xiaomi Corp (OTC:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/XIACY#OTC">XIACY</a>) also unveiled the company's very first <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/asia/25/06/46132552/telsla-model-y-rival-xiaomi-yu7-suv-receives-nearly-300000-orders-in-1-hour-in-china">all-electric SUV</a>, the YU7, which goes up against the Tesla Model Y in China.

Tesla Rival BYD Launches $11,000 Long-Range Trim Of Its Best-Selling Seagull EV As Price War Heats Up

Ford Motor Co. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/F#NYSE">F</a>) CEO Jim Farley has hailed Chinese EVs as competition from Chinese automakers gets stiffer throughout the globe.
What Happened: "It&#8217;s the most humbling thing I have ever seen. Seventy percent of all EVs in the world, electric vehicles, are made in China," Farley said at an event, Yahoo Finance reported <a href="https://finance.yahoo.com/news/fords-ceo-says-chinas-ev-054800452.html">on</a> Monday.
The CEO praised the vehicles for the advanced technology, hailing Xiaomi Corp. (OTC:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/XIACY#OTC">XIACY</a>) and Huawei's presence in "every car" in China. "You get in, you don&#8217;t have to pair your phone. Automatically, your whole digital life is mirrored in the car," Farley said.
He also said that part of the reason why Ford couldn't offer such technology in its vehicles is because Apple Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AAPL#NASDAQ">AAPL</a>) and Alphabet Inc.'s (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/GOOGL#NASDAQ">GOOGL</a>) (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/GOOG#NASDAQ">GOOG</a>) Google "decided not to go in the car business."
"Beyond that, their cost, their quality of their vehicles is far superior to what I see in the West. We are in a global competition with China, and it&#8217;s not just EVs. And if we lose this, we do not have a future Ford,&#8221; Farley added.
Why It Matters: Farley's comments come in as Ford plans on releasing products on its new <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/tech/25/06/46020713/ford-says-upcoming-budget-ev-platform-will-rival-chinese-ev-prices-report">affordable EV platform</a> in 2027. The company says its platform could rival Chinese competitors and match them in cost.&nbsp;
Ford is also going ahead with the plans to <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/tech/25/06/46074112/ford-to-proceed-with-3-billion-battery-plant-despite-potential-tax-incentive-loss-under-trumps-budget-plan-we-stick-behind-our-investments">set up a battery plant</a>, investing over $3 billion in the plant, which will be in Michigan.&nbsp;
However, Chinese automakers are also pushing more competitively priced and feature-rich EVs. Recently, Xiaomi unveiled the company's first-ever all-electric SUV <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/asia/25/06/46132552/telsla-model-y-rival-xiaomi-yu7-suv-receives-nearly-300000-orders-in-1-hour-in-china">dubbed the YU7</a>, which closely rivals the Tesla Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/TSLA#NASDAQ">TSLA</a>) Model Y.
BYD Co. Ltd. (OTC:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/BYDDY#OTC">BYDDY</a>) (OTC:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/BYDDF#OTC">BYDDF</a>) also unveiled its <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/tech/25/06/45855643/tesla-rival-byd-launches-15000-seal-06-sedan-as-chinas-ev-price-war-heats-up">Seal 06 Sedan</a>, priced at over $15,000 in China, increasing the competition in China's domestic car industry amid the <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/topics/25/06/45715047/byds-aggressive-pricing-triggers-ev-rat-race-stock-tumbles-authorities-voice-concern">EV price war</a>.

Why It's Important: Nearly half of this year's list includes companies that are publicly traded or part of publicly traded companies. This means investors can get exposure to what Time considers some of the most influential companies in the world.
Some of the companies are newer to the public market, which could mean that the 50+ companies that are not yet public could be among IPOs to watch for in the second half of 2025 and beyond.
Some of the most recognizable private companies on this year's list include OpenAI, Polymarket, Anthropic, Anduril, Beast Industries and SpaceX.
When seeking companies that can drive revenue growth and gain customer and consumer adoption, the most influential lists can be a valuable starting point for investors.

(NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/TSLA#NASDAQ">TSLA</a>) CEO Elon Musk has hailed the Cybertruck's build quality as the EV giant grapples with declining sales figures in multiple markets across the globe, which experts believe could have led to Musk&#8217;s longtime aide Omead Afshar&#8216;s <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/tech/25/06/46132042/teslas-q2-sales-going-to-s-says-gary-black-after-tsla-north-america-and-europe-chief-omead-afshars-exit">exit from the company</a>.
What Happened: Quoting a video by the Tesla Cybertruck's official handle on X on Thursday, the billionaire hailed the EV pickup truck's build.
"Built bullet tough," the billionaire said in the post. The video showcased an unscathed Cybertruck getting hit with things like a shopping cart, a baseball, as well as a sledgehammer.
