Earnings for Tesla nearly halved as discount strategies and price reductions increased pressure on profit margins.
The company, under Elon Musk's guidance, promoted its developments in autonomous transportation services, artificial intelligence, and advanced robotics to maintain interest during a period of diminishing sales due to reduced market demand.
Quarterly revenue experienced an increase of 2%, reaching $25.5 billion, surpassing Wall Street's forecast of $24.8 billion. Nevertheless, net income saw a significant decrease of 45% to $1.48 billion.
Tesla's stock value decreased by 4.5% after the closing bell in New York trading.
Musk, known for being one of the wealthiest individuals globally and holding leadership positions at SpaceX and Twitter (now X), recently expressed his stance on political matters, including a recent endorsement of Donald Trump's presidential candidacy and a potential donation to support his campaign.
In addition, Musk announced plans for Tesla, SpaceX, and X to relocate their headquarters from California to Texas due in part to legislative changes affecting transgender student notification requirements. This decision was affirmed by shareholders at Tesla's Austin-based operations during a significant leadership review earlier this year.
Dan Ives of Wedbush, an analyst, remarked on the company's performance and expressed confidence in its ability to increase production to two million vehicles annually as global demand stabilizes.
