Benzinga

Tesla reported its first annual decline in vehicle deliveries since 2012, with 1.79 million vehicles delivered in 2024, down 1% from the prior year. Despite a 2% rise in Q4 deliveries driven by promotions like interest-free financing, Tesla failed to meet analysts’ expectations or surpass 2023 figures. Musk has prioritized AI and robotics, with Tesla investing $10 billion in projects like the Optimus humanoid robot and Cybercab. Analysts predict 2025 will pose further challenges for Tesla, with continued pressure from competitors and shifting market dynamics.
