Tesla CEO Elon Musk warned Wednesday that the firm may see a “few rough quarters” before a surge of income from self-driving software and services starts late next year due to US government cuts in assistance for electric car manufacturers. Shares dropped by over 5% as Musk addressed concerns regarding new US government regulations under President Donald Trump during a quarterly results conference call.
Despite missing Wall Street goals and reporting the most significant quarterly sales fall in almost a decade, Musk’s electric vehicle manufacturer’s profit margin on car production was higher than many had anticipated.
In the interim, it is developing a new, less expensive vehicle, but Vaibhav Taneja, the chief financial officer, stated that production is expected to increase next quarter, albeit at a slower pace than anticipated. By late June it had produced a few prototypes. The business cited the economy and the timing of the new car introduction as reasons for not providing an update on its full-year deliveries prediction.
Analyst Jacob Bourne of eMarketer stated, “Considering the difficult path Tesla has taken lately, its disappointing results aren’t surprising.” “A truly economical model will hit the bullseye with the goal of boosting sales if Tesla can effectively position it right without detracting from its higher-priced models.
