Tesla Vehicle Sales Fall Short of Projections in First Quarter

Tesla’s vehicle deliveries came in below Wall Street projections for the first quarter of 2024, released Thursday, with industry analysts pointing to the end of federal electric vehicle tax incentives as a contributing factor to reduced consumer demand.

The electric automaker reported delivering 358,023 vehicles during the three-month period ending in March, representing a 14.4% decline compared to the previous quarter and a 6.3% increase over the same period last year.

Financial analysts had projected the company would deliver approximately 368,903 vehicles during the quarter, based on data compiled by Visible Alpha.
