Tesla continues to experience sales difficulties. The first quarter of 2026 brought a new drop in sales, whose numbers were below expectations. Still, in annual terms, there was slight growth.
The electric car manufacturer registered 358 thousand units sold between January and March, 14% less than in the fourth quarter of 2025 and below investors’ expectations, which were above 365 thousand. On the other hand, the numbers still reflect a year-on-year increase of 6%.
After the presentation of results, Tesla depreciates 3.80% on the New York Stock Exchange and stands at US$366.79 per share, at 4:15 pm this Thursday. This means the company is worth 1.37 billion dollars.
The numbers demonstrate the difficulties the company is going through. The basis is the increase in costs (across the entire automotive sector) and fierce competitiveness, which comes mainly from players Chinese (BYD at the head).
In this context, Tesla is turning its focus to other markets. On the one hand, you are working on the cybercab, an autonomous taxi. On the other, there are also humanoid robots, whose model is called Optimus.
