Tesla's brand loyalty collapsed after Musk backed Trump, data shows

UNITED STATES, AUG 4 – Tesla's U.S. customer loyalty rate dropped from 73% in June 2024 to 49.9% in March 2025 after Musk's Trump endorsement, with a modest recovery to 57.4% by May, S&P Global Mobility data shows.

  • Tesla's customer loyalty declined sharply after CEO Elon Musk endorsed President Donald Trump, according to data from S&P Global Mobility shared exclusively with Reuters.
  • The peak customer loyalty for Tesla was 73% in June 2024, but it fell to 49.9% last March, just below the industry average.
  • Analysts stated that Musk's political involvement turned off Tesla's eco-conscious customer base, leading to the decline in loyalty.
  • Despite the drop in loyalty, Brian Mulberry of Zacks Investment Management remains optimistic about Tesla's long-term earnings from robotaxi operations and self-driving technology licensing.
