The world’s largest maker of electric cars struggled with production problems in China.
A scarcity of semiconductors and raw materials held back production, but buyers remain enthusiastic.
The automaker sold 483,688 vehicles in the United States in the second quarter.
The decline in deliveries by the electric carmaker in the second quarter was the first drop since the beginning of 2020. The main reason was factory shutdowns in China.
The electric-vehicle maker’s stock has fallen sharply after its initial public offering last year gave it a huge market value.
The Tesla challenger said it continued to have problems finding needed parts.
The automaker reported an 11 percent jump in revenue for the first three months of the year compared with a year earlier.
The electric carmaker had to close an important factory in Shanghai because of China’s efforts to stamp out a coronavirus outbreak.
The company struggled to produce vehicles in the first three months of the year, a sign that shortages could last longer than executives had hoped.
The company said it expected to produce only 25,000 electric vehicles this year, adding a new cloud to its outlook only months after a hot I.P.O.
