Tesla's global annual sales fell for the first time in 9 years, delivering 1.79 million vehicles in 2024, a 1.1% drop from 2023. Despite a 2.3% increase in sales at the year's end, overall demand for electric vehicles has slowed, leading to discounts and a decrease in average sales price. Analysts attribute the decline to concerns over range, price, and competition from other automakers. Tesla's stock has seen fluctuations but remains up over the past year.
