Tesla Motors Inc. reported fourth-quarter deliveries that fell short of its own forecasts as production delays continue to plague the carmaker led by CEO Elon Musk. The Palo Alto, Calif.-based maker of electric cars and energy-storage products delivered about 22,200 vehicles in the final three months of last year, according to a statement Tuesday. The total trailed the automaker’s projection for 25,000 units and brought its full-year tally to 76,230 vehicles, below its forecast for at least 80,000 units. Musk has a history of setting ambitious targets and timelines for Tesla a...
Automakers are on the cusp of a second record-breaking year for sales as dealers made an end-of-year push to empty their lots over the weekend. But even as the industry hopes to let the confetti fall on 2016, it must brace for a slowdown that analysts project will come to a head in the new year. Many analysts anticipate a photo finish when carmakers report their annual hauls Wednesday, with some forecasting that 2016 will edge out the previous year’s sales of 17.5 million autos by as few as 5,000 vehicles. If those projections prove true, 2016 would mark the seventh consecutive year of r...
Black Friday sales and the start of year-end deals are helping, but can’t quite disguise that in all probability, retail demand for autos actually softened in November. That’s despite a near-record average discount of $3,886 per unit, up 15% from November 2015. On Thursday, Dec. 1, U.S. automakers are expected to report November sales. The good news is, sales may be softening, but that’s compared with record levels last year. On a pessimistic or realistic note, depending on your point of view, retail auto sales are expected to decline about 2% in November 2016 vs. ...
It's been only a month since we've heard that Apple is in talks with McLaren, the company planned on buying the carmaker, at least that's what the rumors were saying. A McLaren spokesperson flatly denied the rumor at the time, but it turns out that perhaps the truth of the matter is a little more complex than that denial encompassed. In an interview with Reuters, McLaren's acting CEO Mike Flewitt confirmed that there were talks with Apple, but that they never reached the stage where Apple made a bid. He said that Apple never offered a bid, they made a visit, the...
General Motors, as well as other automakers, report October U.S. sales, amid concerns about waning demand, a potentially maxed-out auto-loan market and incentives' impacts on profits. However, Ford Motor will not be among them, as the automaker said that it will release results later this week due to a fire at its Dearborn, Michigan, headquarters that knocked out power to data systems. General Motors, meanwhile, was expected to report October sales of 246,512 autos, down 6.3% year over year. U.S. sales for Fiat Chrysler Automobiles are seen falling 10.6% to 178,2...
