The company led by Elon Musk explained that its results were pressured due to a drop in production due to closures in its Shanghai plant due to the Covid-19 lockdowns.
It reported having delivered 254,695 electric vehicles in the period, 55,353 less than in January-March 2022, with which it had its first quarterly drop in car deliveries since 2020.
Despite the difficulties that the company had, Musk, CEO and founder of the company, stressed that Tesla had record production in June, so “we have the potential for an unprecedented second half of the year.”
