Hundreds of Tesla cars were found abandoned in a field in Florida, near the Tesla Service Center in Tampa, creating what many are calling an “electric car graveyard”. The discovery caught the attention of locals and curious onlookers, who quickly photographed the abandoned vehicles, and the images went viral on the internet, sparking heated discussions in online forums. This intriguing situation raised several questions about the fate of these vehicles and what could be happening with Tesla’s fleet in the United States.

Which Tesla Cars Abandoned in the US Appear in the Photos?

Among the vehicles from Elon Musk’s automaker that were abandoned in the electric car graveyard, many were 2024 versions of the Model 3, along with some current Model Y cars, which were already being covered by the local vegetation.

According to reports, the photo of the abandoned Tesla cars in the US, which went viral on Reddit, was shared by a user named Eric. He discovered that the vehicles were produced between April and May of this year and noted that they have an interior different from the standard, and none of them is a performance model.

Tesla Is Experiencing a Low Sales Season

This increase in unsold inventory, where there are Tesla cars abandoned in the US, may indicate that the company is facing declining demand for electric vehicles, something similar to what other manufacturers are encountering.

After a record sales quarter in Q4 2023, the company saw a decline in those numbers at the beginning of 2024. In the second quarter report this year, the figures were negatively impacted: Elon Musk’s automaker registered an incredible 45% drop in its profit.

The Tesla Model Y was the best-selling SUV in the world last year, with 1.22 million units sold, while the Model 3 ranked tenth, with 508 thousand sales. These were the only electric vehicles on the list of the ten best-sellers.

It is worth mentioning that, last year, images went viral on social media showing thousands of cars, some even in excellent condition, left in large open-air storage facilities in China. According to reports, these were recent electric vehicles manufactured in China, such as the Geely Kandi K10 EV, Neta V, and models from BYD. Experts note that the electric car graveyard emerged after models were produced from an inflated sales scheme.

Electric Car Graveyard Due to Musk’s Behavior?

In addition to this record of abandoned Tesla cars in the US, large quantities of unsold vehicles are accumulating in the company’s lots. The electric car graveyards can be seen from space.

The number of electric vehicles that are not being distributed and remain stationary is so large that they can be seen from space. The situation raises questions about the strategies Tesla will adopt to manage this excess inventory and how it will affect its operations in the future.

By comparing a Thursday in October of last year with a Thursday in March of this year, it is noticeable that the parking lots highlighted in the released images are more filled with unsold Tesla cars. Elon Musk’s temperament in recent months has turned away potential buyers, as noted by a group of investors.
