  • The fourth quarter saw deliveries at 495,570, falling short of the expected 510,000, resulting in a 6% drop in its stock price.
  • Industry challenges and competition are increasing, with many consumers opting for hybrids over purely electric vehicles.
  • The prospect of losing consumer tax credits, which can reduce vehicle prices by up to $7,500, looms ahead for electric vehicle manufacturers.
