Tesla gained more share in the used-EV market in April.

Tesla's used-EV sales grew by 27% in April, per Cox Automotive data, and the average sale price fell 1.8%.
While some Tesla owners have said they plan to sell over vandalism concerns or Elon Musk's politics, analysts pointed to Tesla's EV dominance and aging lineup as the key factors.
Tesla's market share of new EVs increased by over 3% in April, driven by sales of the Model Y, which was recently refreshed.
There's been a rise in people listing their Teslas this year, and it looks like many of the vehicles are finding buyers as the average resale price dipped slightly last month.
Data released on Wednesday from Cox Automotive indicates that the number of used Teslas sold increased by 27% month-over-month in April. The increase brought the automaker's share of the used-car market to an estimated 47%. Chevrolet and Ford followed, with 8.9% and 6% of the used-car market, according to the data.
The average sale price for used Teslas in April decreased 1.8% month over month. The overall average listing price for used EVs decreased 2.8%, according to Cox Automotive's data, up from 3.8% from the same period last year.
Tesla's growth in the used-car market comes as the EV giant has had a tough start to the year. In addition to its first-quarter vehicle deliveries being 13% lower than the same period last year and its worst since 2022, the company has also been mired in months of boycott efforts resulting from Elon Musk's political involvement.
Following harassment and vandalism aimed at Tesla stores and owners of the brand's vehicles, some owners have shared plans to ditch the vehicle, and others have posted TikTok videos of trading in their Teslas for a new EV. Cadillac said this week that it's attracting more Tesla owners, specifically for its Lyriq model.
However, Joseph Yoon, Edmunds' consumer insights analyst, told Business Insider that the increase in used-Tesla sales doesn't necessarily reflect politically motivated offloading. With the value of used Teslas falling dramatically over the past year, Yoon said that many likely can't afford to sell their vehicles if their values don't align with its CEO.
"Tesla buyers, they don't have that kind of just cash to burn for the sake of feeling better about themselves," Yoon said.
Cox Automotive director of industry insights Stephanie Valdez Streaty told BI that Tesla's market share in the used-EV market is correlated with the automaker's dominance in the overall EV market. Up until last year, Tesla held around half of the EV market share, and in 2020, they held close to 80%, Valdez Streaty said.
"They've just been at it a long time," Valdez Streaty said. "So, there's a lot more Teslas in the marketplace that become used Teslas."
Tesla hasn't launched a mass-market vehicle since 2020 when it released the Model Y, which went on to become one of the top-selling vehicles in the country. The Cybertruck, launched in late 2023, currently starts at $69,990, and a March recall filing revealed that fewer than 50,000 had been sold. As the company faces an increasingly aging car line-up, the used EV market is growing.

Valdez Streaty said that Tesla's used cars are, on average, $7,000 less expensive than the average pricing for all used EVs. Its affordability and the options available can make it a good option, she said.
While it's still notable that some Tesla owners say they are ditching their vehicles because of politics, it's not clear whether it's happening at scale, Yoon said. For context, Tesla held an estimated 53.3% market share in the used-car market in 2022, 44.5% in 2023, and 44.7% in 2024.
There was a bright spot for Tesla in the Cox Automotive data — sales of new vehicles appear to be on the rise.
While most auto manufacturers saw a monthly decrease in new vehicle sales, Tesla was one of the few that reported sales growth for new vehicles, with a 3% increase driven by Model Y sales. In April, Tesla sold an estimated 25,231 of its Model Y, which was recently refreshed. GM and Nissan were among the other brands highlighted in the report that saw a growth in new EV sales.
The report said that the growth in used EV sales comes at a time when EVs face continued challenges with affordability, availability, and additional uncertainty due to looming tariffs. A recent consumer survey conducted by Cox Automotive indicates that nearly 50% of respondents believe tariffs will significantly impact their decision to buy an EV.

Business Insider's reporter shares her top tips for flying long distances in economy.
Joey Hadden/Business Insider
I've spent 190 hours in the air on long-haul flights from the US to Guam, Europe, and Canada.
Every long-haul flight I've taken was in economy seating, and I've found ways to stay comfortable.
This is my long-haul flight survival guide for passengers like me who are always stuck in economy.
I've spent six days of my life traveling between NYC and Guam — days because the journey across the Pacific takes 24 hours.
Each time, the day includes two layovers, two back-to-back long-haul flights, one medium-length flight, and a grueling 14-hour time change. It's exhausting, especially since I always fly economy. But taking these trips when I was younger warmed me up for the job ahead.
I now work as a travel reporter, and I've taken many international flights by myself that were six hours or longer from North America to Europe. I've spent 190 hours in the air on long-haul journeys — all in economy.
Along the way, I've picked up some tips on how to pack, stay comfortable, and remain entertained on a plane.
Here are my long-haul flight tricks to help you survive hours in economy, especially if you're flying solo.
Bring your own food.

Joey Hadden/Business Insider
If you don't bring your own food, you might end up with nothing but pretzels and Biscoff cookies for several hours. Many long-haul flights include meals, but some don't.
But the snacks only curbed my hunger and didn't leave me feeling full, so it's best not to rely on your airline to satisfy your hunger.
Pack your own entertainment.

Joey Hadden/Business Insider
The same advice goes for entertainment.
Some airlines have been filtering out seatback screens because many people prefer their own devices. And in-flight entertainment systems that take place through apps sometimes stop working during flights.
So, I recommend bringing your own screen and downloading films and shows from streaming services you subscribe to. For example, Netflix has this option in the app.
Make a long, eclectic playlist for the in-between moments.

Joey Hadden/Business Insider
When traveling for hours on end with multiple layovers, it's nice to have some background jams to keep your spirits up, especially if you're a solo traveler.
I recommend creating a long playlist packed to the brim with all your favorite tracks for all your typical moods to make the trip go by faster.
And don't sit through your layovers.

Joey Hadden/Business Insider
Speaking of layovers, I suggest staying active through them by walking around and exploring the terminal, if you are able.
Whether your layover is one hour or five, you'll be glad you spent the time on your feet once you're seated for your next flight.
You should also opt for an aisle seat.

Another way to keep moving throughout your trip is to opt for an aisle seat.
I had always been a window seat person, but I've completely changed my mind since traveling solo on long-haul flights in recent years.
I like to stretch my legs often on long flights, so I prefer being able to stand up and walk around whenever I please without the nervousness that comes with waking a sleeping stranger next to me and asking them to move.
You could also opt for a window seat if you know there will be some epic views.

Some views are worth sitting still for. And if you can't get an aisle seat, I think a window seat is your next best bet. Who doesn't enjoy a view and somewhere to rest their head?
I also recommend dressing in layers.

This is especially important if you're traveling through extremely different climates.
And you never know when the airplane will be too hot or cold for comfort.

The priorities for your preciously limited carry-on space should go to overnight essentials: basic toiletries and a change of clothes. Otherwise, you'll end up sitting uncomfortably in your filth for hours, and that'll make the trip feel longer.
A neck pillow is a must.

Joey Hadden/Business Insider
If you struggle to relax and fall asleep on flights like me, a neck pillow is a total game changer. Economy seats aren't typically very comfortable, so having a soft place to rest my head almost feels like an upgrade.
Bring your own water bottle.

Joey Hadden/Business Insider
You're already increasing your carbon footprint simply by being on a long-haul flight, so why not avoid using single-use plastics?
Staying hydrated through air travel is crucial, and you'll probably end up buying a plastic bottle if you don't bring your own, at airport prices. So do the world and your wallet a tiny favor.
If you can swing it, splurge for premium economy.

Joey Hadden/Business Insider
I've never splurged on premium economy, but I was lucky enough to get a free upgrade on a recent JetBlue flight from NYC to Vancouver. Now that I've tried it, I think I will on my next long-haul flight.
The $180 upgrade included a comfier seat with a thick headrest and extra legroom, as well as other perks like early boarding and exclusive snacks.
The seat is still in the coach cabin, so I don't think I'd upgrade on a short flight, but I'd book a premium ticket for six or more hours stuck in a seat.
