Tesla's Q3 Results Spark Shareholder Concern Amid International Market Headwinds
Tesla's third quarter results have sparked concern among shareholders, with a new analysis urging swift action. Despite record deliveries and growth in energy business, the electric vehicle giant faces headwinds in international markets and production challenges.
Tesla delivered a record 497,099 vehicles in the third quarter, surpassing analyst expectations of 440,000 to 456,000 units. However, the company's production fell year-on-year to 447,450 units, indicating adjusted production to meet expected weaker demand. CEO Elon Musk warned of 'difficult quarters' ahead in international markets, with European sales falling by 22.5 percent year-on-year in August.
The EU markets experienced a significant revenue decline of 22.5 percent in August compared to the previous year, driven by disappointing registration and sales figures. Despite these challenges, Tesla's core vehicle business faces pressure, while the energy business and supply chain continue to strengthen. Some investors bet on Tesla's future in AI and robotics, with Elon Musk personally investing $1 billion in Tesla stock. Many customers also took advantage of the expiring $7,500 US tax credit for electric vehicles.
Tesla's record deliveries and growth in energy business offer optimism, but international market challenges and production adjustments require urgent attention. Shareholders and regulators are also raising concerns over Musk's controversial compensation package. As Tesla navigates these issues, its future in AI and robotics, along with potential regulatory changes, will be crucial factors to watch.
