Although the issues have gotten better recently, Tesla stated in a financial update for investors that they still pose a pressing challenge. Because car sales did not meet expectations, revenue was lower than anticipated for the three months that ended in September. Nevertheless, it was still more than 50% higher than a year ago at $21.45 billion (£19.12 billion). Tesla, a multibillion-dollar company run by Elon Musk, has been expanding quickly lately, adding new factories in the US, China, and Germany and increasing production. A record-breaking 343,000 cars were delivered by the company during the third quarter, an increase of more than 40% over the corresponding period in 2016.
Fears that demand may be slowing as a result of rising prices, higher borrowing costs, and a significant slowdown in the important China market have been raised by the company's decision to produce more cars than were sold. While acknowledging China's weakness, Mr. Musk refuted claims that demand was slowing down. When Tesla revealed the delivery statistics earlier this month, the company claimed the discrepancy was brought on by trouble locating vehicles to deliver cars to customers. There were not enough ships, trains, or car carriers. According to the company, deliveries of its own highly anticipated electric truck are scheduled to begin in December. The company announced a $3.3 billion profit, a significant increase from the previous year. However, concerns about Tesla's future growth strategy and Mr. Musk's massive stock sales as he gears up for a $44 billion takeover of Twitter have weighed on the stock price recently. The value of the company has been destroyed by billions of dollars as a result of a 40% decline in stock prices this year.
In the US, Tesla is the market leader for electric vehicles, but in Europe and China, where such vehicles are more popular, there is much more competition for the company. Rivals have stepped up their efforts here in the US as well. On Wednesday, the German automaker BMW announced that it would invest $1.7 billion to increase the production of electric vehicles in the US. Elon Musk, who is not averse to self-promotion, claimed that demand for Tesla was skyrocketing a few months ago. The current gap between demand and supply is absurdly wide. And yet, based on these data, it doesn't appear that is the case. Tesla is producing more cars than it can sell. Furthermore, profitability is being eaten away by some financial pressures. Profits are suffering as a result of supply chain issues and rising raw material prices.
Because of this, the uncertainty surrounding Tesla's demand is particularly harmful. It helps to explain why Tesla's share price dropped despite a set of results that appeared to be solid. It also explains why Mr. Musk appeared to kibosh when discussing demand issues on the earnings call, the speaker continued. I can't stress this enough: there is a very strong demand for it, and we anticipate selling every vehicle we produce for as long as we can see. After deciding to purchase Twitter, many Tesla investors are concerned that Mr. Musk isn't investing enough time in the business. Tesla sales are rising but still failing to meet expectations
