The report pins the latest decline partly on the end of the $7,500 federal EV tax credit, which has dented EV sales across the United States, and partly on intensifying competition from Chinese automakers. Tesla’s income from selling regulatory carbon credits slid too, falling from $2.9 billion in fiscal 2024 to $1.7 billion in fiscal 2025 after U.S. environmental rules were eased.</p><p><strong>What About The Competition?</strong></p><a href="https://www.carscoops.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/07/Ford-Explorer-2025-HD-51c4fe9a1c58ec50604c54b7d8ba3071f3f78c880.jpg" data-type="inarticle-image-block"><figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><picture><source type="image/webp" srcset="https://www.carscoops.com/wp-content/uploads/webp/2026/07/Ford-Explorer-2025-HD-51c4fe9a1c58ec50604c54b7d8ba3071f3f78c880.webp 2135w, https://www.carscoops.com/wp-content/uploads/webp/2026/07/Ford-Explorer-2025-HD-51c4fe9a1c58ec50604c54b7d8ba3071f3f78c880-400x225.webp 400w, https://www.carscoops.com/wp-content/uploads/webp/2026/07/Ford-Explorer-2025-HD-51c4fe9a1c58ec50604c54b7d8ba3071f3f78c880-1024x576.webp 1024w, https://www.carscoops.com/wp-content/uploads/webp/2026/07/Ford-Explorer-2025-HD-51c4fe9a1c58ec50604c54b7d8ba3071f3f78c880-768x432.webp 768w, https://www.carscoops.com/wp-content/uploads/webp/2026/07/Ford-Explorer-2025-HD-51c4fe9a1c58ec50604c54b7d8ba3071f3f78c880-1536x863.webp 1536w, https://www.carscoops.com/wp-content/uploads/webp/2026/07/Ford-Explorer-2025-HD-51c4fe9a1c58ec50604c54b7d8ba3071f3f78c880-2048x1151.webp 2048w" sizes="(max-width: 1920px) 100vw, (max-width: 1535px) 100vw, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, (max-width: 768px) 1000px, (max-width: 300px) 600px, (max-width: 200px) 200px"></source><img decoding="async" class="lazy " src="" srcset="https://www.carscoops.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/07/Ford-Explorer-2025-HD-51c4fe9a1c58ec50604c54b7d8ba3071f3f78c880.jpg 2135w, https://www.carscoops.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/07/Ford-Explorer-2025-HD-51c4fe9a1c58ec50604c54b7d8ba3071f3f78c880-400x225.jpg 400w, https://www.carscoops.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/07/Ford-Explorer-2025-HD-51c4fe9a1c58ec50604c54b7d8ba3071f3f78c880-1024x576.jpg 1024w, https://www.carscoops.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/07/Ford-Explorer-2025-HD-51c4fe9a1c58ec50604c54b7d8ba3071f3f78c880-768x432.jpg 768w, https://www.carscoops.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/07/Ford-Explorer-2025-HD-51c4fe9a1c58ec50604c54b7d8ba3071f3f78c880-1536x863.jpg 1536w, https://www.carscoops.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/07/Ford-Explorer-2025-HD-51c4fe9a1c58ec50604c54b7d8ba3071f3f78c880-2048x1151.jpg 2048w" sizes="(max-width: 1920px) 100vw, (max-width: 1535px) 100vw, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, (max-width: 768px) 1000px, (max-width: 300px) 600px, (max-width: 200px) 200px" alt=" Tesla’s Per-Car Profit Tumbled To $2,140, And Tariffs Are Part Of Why" width="2135" height="1200" data-src="https://www.carscoops.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/07/Ford-Explorer-2025-HD-51c4fe9a1c58ec50604c54b7d8ba3071f3f78c880-1024x576.jpg" data-type="inarticle-image"></picture></figure></a><p>Second place went to Toyota at roughly $2,104 per vehicle, about 20 percent less than the year before.

There’s just something undeniably charming and romantic about a wood trellis full of roses or jasmine. It can instantly add a bit of atmosphere to a garden wall, turn a bare fence into an enchanting privacy screen, and give vertical gardening all the height and structure it needs to do its best work. In a smaller outdoor space, trellises in particular are one of the most powerful tools you can have. You can train climbing roses up a frame that seriously draws the eye

The LS 500 with its non-hybrid twin-turbo 3.4-liter V6 is rumored for the chop, leaving the LS 500h as the only choice.
