Tesla stock slides after Q4 delivery miss, first yearly sales decline

Tesla stock (TSLA) skidded to start 2025 following a big fourth
quarter delivery miss and an overall down year for the electric
vehicle maker.

For the quarter, Tesla said it delivered 495,930 vehicles globally,
missing analyst estimates of around 510,400 as compiled by Bloomberg.
This figure is above the 463,000 delivered last quarter and the
484,500 delivered a year ago.

For 2024, Tesla delivered 1.78 million vehicles, missing analyst
estimates for 1.8 million and resulting in a total below 2023's 1.8
million vehicles delivered. This is the first year-over-year decline
for Tesla, hinting that new competition, demand, and global economic
conditions may be hurting the company

Tesla stock fell over 6% on Thursday.

Tesla reporting a year-over-year delivery decline is likely a shock
to investors, as it was only a short time ago the company was
reporting a 50% compound annual growth rate (CAGR). Though Tesla
warned last year that its "vehicle volume growth rate may be notably
lower than the growth rate achieved in 2023," due to preparations to
launch its next-generation vehicle at Gigafactory Texas, investors
most likely were not expecting an annual delivery decline.

Meanwhile, China's BYD (BYDDY) reported global deliveries of
approximately 4.3 million passenger cars in 2024. Though Tesla's main
rival in China said 2.5 million of those were hybrids, a reversal of
years past, the deliveries still bring BYD's pure EV total to around
1.76 million -- knocking on Tesla's door.

Tesla bulls, however, see this as a short-term blip.

"Looking to FY25, we remain highly confident in Tesla's ability to
accelerate delivery growth into FY25 with 20%-30% delivery growth
targets the focus for the Street as TSLA is also expected to launch
its lower-priced EV in early 2025 to spur growth for vehicle
deliveries," Wedbush analyst Dan Ives wrote in a note to investors
Thursday morning.

In addition to the vehicle growth rate accelerating in 2025, Ives
believes increasing uptake of Tesla's FSD (full self-driving)
software, the rollout of robotaxi testing, and products like the
Cybercab will take Tesla's market cap to $2 trillion and beyond.

"The laser focus for Tesla is the 2025 reaccelerated delivery growth
story and FSD penetration with autonomous the grand vision for Musk &
Co. Any sell off today on weaker 4Q delivery numbers we are strong
buyers," Ives wrote.

StockStory aims to help individual investors beat the market.

Correction: This story originally stated Tesla's Q4 delivery total
was 471,930; this figure has been updated. We regret the error.
