Tesla's first-quarter earnings dropped significantly, with a 55% decrease in net income to $1.1 billion and a 9% fall in revenue to $21.3 billion compared to the previous year. This decline is attributed to decreasing vehicle sales, cooling demand for electric vehicles, and CEO Elon Musk's focus on developing fully autonomous cars.
