Tesla Electric Car Sales Fell in 2024, a First for Elon Musk
Published On Jan 2, 2025, 10:15 AM
Tesla experienced its first annual sales decline in 2024, delivering 1,789,226 vehicles, slightly down from 1,808,581 in 2023. Despite a record fourth quarter with 495,570 deliveries, increasing competition from companies like BYD and traditional carmakers has begun to impact Tesla's market share. While Tesla still controls nearly half of the electric vehicle market in the U.S., its dominance is challenged by rival manufacturers offering lower-priced and newer models.

Tesla's share price fell nearly 6% in early trading following the sales report. The emergence of significant competition poses risks to Tesla's growth and market position, leading to a cautious outlook for its near-term stock performance. Analysts suggest investors may want to reevaluate their positions given the potential for continued sales pressures in a competitive landscape.
