Tesla’s Brand Is Losing Its Shine, Lagging BYD and Xiaomi: UBS Poll

  • A UBS survey found Tesla fell to 14% as the top EV brand choice in China last year, trailing behind BYD and Xiaomi.
  • Tesla's decline follows growing competition in China and global brand challenges worsened by CEO Elon Musk's political involvement.
  • Tesla's market share dropped to 7.96% in China's BEV market with Q1 China retail sales at 134,607 units amid intense rivalry from BYD and Xiaomi.
  • UBS reported Tesla's US and European brand consideration fell significantly, citing Tesla's "limited vehicle lineup and affordability" concerns and a 47.64% stock price downside target.
  • The brand erosion opens space for Chinese rivals, with BYD leading BEV sales gains and Xiaomi launching new competitive models like the YU7 SUV.
