Summary

Tesla reported its first annual decline in deliveries, with 1.79 million vehicles delivered in 2024 compared to 1.81 million in 2023.

Fourth-quarter deliveries (495,570) fell short of analyst estimates, causing Tesla shares to drop 7%.

Challenges included rising competition in Europe and China, declining sales despite price cuts, and growing inventory of Cybertrucks.

Analysts cited CEO Elon Musk’s political involvement as a potential distraction.

While Tesla plans to release lower-cost autonomous vehicles in 2025, its lack of affordable EVs and intensified competition have strained its market dominance.

      No, they absolutely still do. They just bitch about it more and blame the president.

      When gas hit over $4 a gallon here in Texas, it barely moved the needle on sales of smaller vehicles. Those that did change vehicles went right back to that Ford F950 the second it came back down. Like, no one learned their lesson.
