NEW YORK, Jan. 2 (Xinhua) -- Tesla's global annual sales fell for the first time in at least 9 years, with a 2.3 percent increase in the final quarter not enough to overcome a sluggish start to 2024 despite offers of 0 percent financing, free charging and low-priced leases, reported The Associated Press (AP) on Thursday.
"The Austin, Texas, company delivered 495,570 vehicles from October through December, boosting deliveries to 1.79 million for the full year. But that was 1.1 percent below 2023 sales of 1.81 million as overall demand for electric vehicles in the United States and elsewhere slowed," noted the report.
