Tesla Reports Revenue Dip, Musk's Politics Affect Sales
Tesla, the electric car company, had a tough time recently.
Their sales went down by 12% and profits fell too.
People seem less interested in buying Teslas, maybe because of things the company's boss, Elon Musk, has said.
The company is now working on robotaxis (self-driving taxis) and robots.
Musk hopes to have many self-driving taxis on the road soon.
Also, the government changed some rules that might hurt Tesla's business.
To get more people buying cars, they plan to release a less expensive model later this year.
Tesla's revenue fell by 12% in the April-June period, with profits dropping 16%.
Tesla shares declined by 3% in after-hours trading following the announcement.
Musk is shifting focus to robotaxis, automated driving software, and robotics.
Potential buyers in the U.S. and Europe are hesitant due to Musk's political stances.
Tesla plans to introduce a cheaper model in the last three months of the year.
