Tesla's Second Quarter 2024 Vehicle Production and Deliveries
In the second quarter of 2024, Tesla produced approximately 411,000 vehicles and delivered approximately 443,956 vehicles. These numbers represent a decline in deliveries compared to the same period last year but an increase compared to the first quarter of 2024.
Tesla's Q2 production and delivery report comes after a challenging few months for the electric vehicle giant. The company faced production issues at its Fremont factory due to the ramp-up of the newly refreshed Model 3, as well as shutdowns related to supply chain issues at its Gigafactory in Berlin.
Despite these challenges, Tesla's sales continue to be dominated by the Model 3 and Model Y. These two models accounted for over 90% of Tesla's sales during Q2 2024. The Cybertruck, which was expected to be a major source of growth for the company, has faced polarizing reception and frequent recalls.
Tesla's market share has also been shrinking as legacy automakers continue to release new electric models. Tesla's share of the EV market is now hovering around 50%, down from an 80% share in 2020.

The article contains a few informal fallacies and an example of inflammatory rhetoric. It uses an exaggerated description of Tesla's struggles with the phrase 'continuing to struggle with demand as customers have more choices than ever'. Additionally, there is a slight overgeneralization in stating that 'Tesla's sales continue to drop', when it should be noted that sales dropped only in the recent quarter. Lastly, there is an inflammatory statement made by referring to the Cybertruck as 'the company's great stainless steel hope, perennially recalled'.

Bias
(95%)
The author makes several statements that could be perceived as negative towards Tesla and Elon Musk, but they are factual and do not demonstrate bias. However, the author does make a statement that could be perceived as biased when he says 'There’s a litany of reasons for this: Musk’s online antics, gaps in the company’s vehicle lineup, and increasing competition.' While it is true that Musk's online antics have been a topic of controversy and that Tesla's vehicle lineup has had gaps, the author does not provide any evidence to support the claim that these are major reasons for Tesla's declining sales. The author also uses the phrase 'litany of reasons,' which could be perceived as an exaggeration. Additionally, while it is true that there is increasing competition in the EV market, this is a fact and does not demonstrate bias on the part of the author.
