Part 2/7:
Impact of Production Changes
The most crucial factor contributing to the decline was Tesla's decision to halt production of its best-selling vehicle, the Model Y, across four factories. The transition involved shutting down production lines for several weeks, which led to a shortfall of approximately 75,000 to 100,000 cars. Logically, this production loss was a significant contributor to the revenue decline, making the 9% drop appear more manageable in retrospect.
