Not only did its initial sales fall dramatically short of the company’s widely publicized reservation figures, but Tesla also faced the embarrassment of being publicly confronted with its sales shortfall when it was compelled to share delivery data as part of a recall earlier this year—a campaign some owners and fans say is still putting a drag on the company’s deliveries. Tesla’s total share of EV sales has been slipping for the better part of a year, forcing the company to find sales in a steadily narrowing slice of the broader market.
