Tesla Controls 59% of the U.S. EV Market -- Its Highest Share Since 2023

Tesla has rebounded to control 59% of the U.S. EV market, its highest share since 2023, despite the stock dropping nearly 25% in 2026. While the company achieved record deliveries and 26% revenue growth, profitability declined and free cash flow turned negative as Tesla invests heavily in AI, Optimus, and robotaxis. The company faces increasing competition from rivals like BYD and Rivian, and its long-term success depends on whether its speculative bets in autonomous driving and robotics will pay off.
