Tesla's biggest declines were in Europe and Canada with the company dropping in rankings for "reputation, recommendation, trust and coolness."Brand Finance CEO David Haigh said Tesla's prices compared to peers, CEO Elon Musk's "overreach" in geopolitics, Musk's lack of focus on the business, and a lack of new innovative models all contributed to the decline in valuation and scores.In the U.S., Tesla’s recommendation score in the survey is only 4.0 out of 10.0, down from 8.2 two years ago. In 2023, Tesla’s recommendation score in the U.S. was 8.2.
Tesla ranked 75th in the new report, down from 36th last year. The company is now outranked by automotive companies Toyota, Mercedes-Benz, Volkswagen, Porsche and BMW.
Tesla's EV rival, BYD, has not passed the company in the rankings. However, BYD's brand value is up 23% to $17.29 billion in the latest report. This comes as BYD passed Tesla for EV deliveries in 2025.
