Tesla is implementing aggressive financing strategies to boost sales at the end of the quarter. This includes incentives across its EV lineup and promotional financing rates as low as 2.49%. These efforts are aimed at reducing inventory and improving quarterly financial results. Despite these efforts, Tesla faces challenges in increasing deliveries this quarter and may experience its first delivery decline in a decade. The company also reached a milestone by producing its 100 millionth 4680 battery cell, which supports its Cybertruck and Model Y production.
