General Motors Company (GM - Free Report) has witnessed a 7.3% hike in its year-on-year sales growth in the second quarter, totaling deliveries of 746,588 vehicles, following a 16.7% increase in the first quarter. Deliveries rose 12% year over year in the first half of 2025. It was GM’s best first-half since 2019. In contrast to this, Tesla, Inc. (TSLA) has seen its deliveries shrink in Q2 as it struggles with a dated lineup, expensive pricing and the controversial politics. Tesla reported 384,122 vehicle deliveries, a 14% straight decline from the year-ago level of 443,956. This was the second consecutive quarter that witnessed double-digit declines.
GM has been continually launching newer and redesigned models over the past two years. The company now has a lineup of 11 EV models, of which Chevrolet has displayed the highest growth 134% in the H1 sales, led by Equinox EV, which has secured its place among the top three best-selling EVs. Similarly, Cadillac emerged as the luxury EV market share leader in Q2. GM boasts of an EV market share of 16%, close to its total market share of 17% in the second quarter, following its 100% growth surge in EV sales.
The boost in sales is a result of its investments in crossovers, SUVs and pickups, both gas and electric, paired with great execution. This enabled GM to beat the estimated 4% total auto industry growth. To keep up with the wave, GM is planning to further invest around $4 billion to strengthen its U.S. production and combat the impact of tariffs and other government policies.
