Tesla remains the No. 1 selling electric vehicle in the United States and leads the global industry in terms of brand representation. But it is also losing market share to a growing number of rivals at home and abroad, especially Chinese competitors with more innovative technology.
NEW YORK (Sputnik) - Global electric vehicle industry leader Tesla has reported weaker than expected earnings for April through June after a drop in automotive sales for a second straight quarter.
Tesla reported second-quarter net income of $1.5 billion, a 45% decline compared to the same period last year. Revenue improved by 2% from $24.93 billion a year earlier but only due to Tesla's energy generation and storage business, which sells and installs backup batteries for residential, commercial, and utility use.
Revenue from sales of Tesla vehicles dropped 7% to $19.9 billion from $21.27 billion during the same quarter one year ago.
