Tesla’s Profits Plunge, Revenue Dips, But Shares Soar Amidst EV Expansion Plans

Tesla, the electric vehicle giant, has reported a significant downturn in its quarterly profits and revenue. However, its share price rallied after CEO Elon Musk announced plans to accelerate the development of a more affordable electric vehicle. The company’s net profit for the first quarter ending March 2024 fell by 55% to $1.13 billion, while revenue declined by 9% to $21.3 billion. Tesla attributed the decline to an intensifying electric vehicle market and described EV sales as being ‘under pressure.’ Despite the setbacks, investors reacted positively to the company’s announcement of plans to expedite the launch of new, more affordable models and to reduce vehicle prices in major markets around the world.
