Tesla profits pulled down by falling EV sales and regulatory credits


Tesla saw a 17% growth in its services business, but it was not enough to close the gap in falling EV sales, fewer regulatory credits, and a decline in solar and energy storage sales.

Meanwhile, a civil lawsuit is playing out in a Florida courtroom over a fatal 2019 crash in which a Tesla driver using Autopilot plowed through an intersection and struck two people. Kirsten Korosec is a reporter and editor who has covered the future of transportation from EVs and autonomous vehicles to urban air mobility and in-car tech for more than a decade. She is also co-founder and co-host of the podcast, “The Autonocast.” She previously wrote for Fortune, The Verge, Bloomberg, MIT Technology Review and CBS Interactive.
