Tesla’s disappointing first-quarter sales numbers aren’t a reason to panic, but they reveal big challenges for the company, experts say (ZH)

Summary:

There has been a %31 decrease in Tesla’s vehicle delivery since last quarter. Automotive analyst David Whiteson says that there is no need to obsess about quartlerly numbers. While demand for Model S sedan and Model X SUV has fallen, the overall number does not suggest an immediate demand problem. It’s normal for the demand for Model S sedan and Model X SUV to fall as they’re likely reaching that point in their product life cycle. Model 3’s numbers in the following quarters might pose a problem if no growth is observed as Tesla will have to rely on it. Tesla may face problems in the future as competition is rising.
