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.

    Is musk going to tweet something about a new, futuristic project that Tesla has coming up that he’s just ripping off from an 80s sci-fi movie again so the stock price bumps back up?

    I bought into the shit he was marketing back in 2019. I got a Model 3 and a single share of Tesla stock, and realized pretty quickly after a year of FSD not improving that Elon was full of shit. Some time later that one share turned into three because tesla did a stock split so elon could buy twitter, then sometime after shareholders approved a 50 billion pay package (not me).

    So when he bought the republican party and the stock shot up, I got out. Didn’t make any money, but fuck that guy. I cannot stand this Mfer or his shitty companies.

    Teala isn’t releasing 2 lower cost autonomous vehicles in 2025.

    They are releasing 2 lower cost vehicles.

    The robo taxi isn’t until 2026 if you make the assumption it’s on time and is autonomous.

    Saying teala is releasing 2 autonomous vehicles in 2025 is like saying teala sold 1.79 million autonomous vehicles this year.

        Any sane government won’t let them on the road until that is decidedly not the case.

        Asking for a sane government is a big ask nowadays it seems though.

          Hey now the DMV could ban them here in California and then ignore any attempt by the feds to override that, supremacy clause only exists when you have the budget to enforce it after all.

            I know this is completely unrelated… but it just made me think of a Robotaxi arriving from Nevada, and the LAPD go in pursuit since they’re illegal in California, then the LAPD decide to do a pit maneuver on it because it doesn’t stop and it kills 2 pedestrians on the street as a result.

      The robo taxi isn’t until 2026 if you make the assumption it’s on time and is autonomous.

      Tesla has said Full Self Driving is coming next year for like 9 straight years in a row, and the only thing that came out of that was “obviously FSD is a marketing term, only an idiot would have bought FSD and thought they get an autonomous vehicle”

      Space X pushed the hyper loop when California pitched their idea of building high speed rail throughout the state, and once they gave space X a grant and cancelled their plans, he dropped the project.

      Tesla’s value comes from vibes and the potential of what some vaporware technology could be worth if they could actually build it.

      I mean honestly, if Tesla could build an autonomous vehicle that could pay for itself in 1 year from taxi fares, why would they sell that to the public? They’d make way more keeping it to themselves or maybe franchising it out. A complete monopoly on the autonomous taxi industry sold for $45,000? Yeah, right.

        If you have a 401k, IRA, company pension, or any other type of traditional retirement accounts, you likely have some Tesla at least indirectly, and while you might not have direct voting rights, you would at a minimum have ownership of funds that have ownership of Tesla.

    I shake my head at Tesla drivers and throw a hand job gesture to every wankpanzer I see. There isn’t enough public shaming of fascists and their enablers.

    You’d think the tariffs would be a big booster for them. BYD cars would kill them, but so would BYD batteries used by other automakers.
