Investors on what’s working and what lies ahead after a challenging first half of the year that saw the EV maker reduce headcount by more than 10% and witness a fall in vehicle deliveries in the first and second quarters.
Despite a 4.8% decrease from the same period last year, Tesla announced 443,956 vehicle deliveries in the second quarter. Nevertheless, those figures above expert expectations.
The firm also stated that 9.4 GWh of energy products had been deployed by its energy generation and storage segment, which installs and sells solar photovoltaics and backup batteries, as of June 30.
Its record from the previous quarter was more than doubled by that.
