Tesla faces second straight year of falling sales after another bad quarter


Tesla sales fell more than 13% compared to last year as the company struggles to find demand for its aging lineup, and as CEO Elon Musk continues to damage the brand.

Musk repeatedly explained that Tesla’s poor first-quarter sales were due in part to the company shutting down production lines at all of its factories to prepare for the launch of the upgraded Model Y. The company did not have any similarly planned production changeovers in the second quarter, although Business Insider reported that some staff working Model Y and Cybertruck lines were told to stay home for a few days in late May. He previously worked at The Verge, where he also covered consumer technology, hosted many short- and long-form videos, performed product and editorial photography, and once nearly passed out in a Red Bull Air Race plane.
