Tesla Inc. is experiencing a downturn in sales, particularly in California, where sales have decreased by 13% in the first half of 2024. This decline in its former home state is contributing to Tesla's overall underperformance in the market. Analysts are raising concerns about Tesla's ability to meet its global sales target of 1 million battery electric vehicles (BEVs) for the year, as growth becomes increasingly elusive. The situation is prompting questions about the potential for further declines in Tesla's electric vehicle sales.
