record sales plunge

Tesla reports record sales plunge from last year

Tesla reported another record sales plunge Wednesday, as brand damage
from CEO Elon Musk's political activities and increased competition
continued to batter the once fast-growing electric car maker.

Tesla reported it sold 384,122 cars in the quarter, down nearly 60,000
cars, or 13.5% from the sales total a year ago. That marks the largest
year-over-year drop in sales in the company's history. However, that
number is up 14.1% from its first quarter total.

Despite the sales drop, shares of Tesla (TSLA) opened up nearly 4% in
Wednesday trading following the report. That's because it exceeded
some analyst forecasts for a much larger plummet.

Notably, Tesla is poised to lose its title for the world's largest EV
maker, based on annual sales, to Chinese automaker BYD, even though
BYD has not entered the US market. Earlier on Wednesday, BYD reported
it had sold 1 million electric vehicles in the first half of this
year, putting it far ahead of Tesla's year-to-date total of sales of
about 721,000.
