Tesla Shares Fall After Reporting Annual Delivery Decline

Tesla’s stock experienced a drop following its announcement of a decline in annual deliveries for the first time. The company’s fourth-quarter and year-end vehicle production and delivery report came after a significant surge in its stock price at the end of the year.

In 2024, Tesla reported deliveries of 1.789 million vehicles, a 1% decrease from the 1.809 million delivered in 2023.

The first quarter of the year proved challenging for Tesla, with CEO Elon Musk cautioning investors about slower growth prospects. However, the company managed to deliver better results by the year’s end, alleviating some concerns.

Once a dominant player in the electric vehicle market, Tesla now faces stiff competition, particularly from Hyundai and China-based BYD, which are rapidly gaining ground in the EV sector.
