Tesla's energy storage business gets sucked into the company's downward spiral | TechCrunch
Briefly

Tesla's energy storage business has witnessed a decline in deployment for two consecutive quarters, with 9.6 gigawatt-hours installed in the second quarter of 2024. This decline follows a peak of 11 gigawatt-hours in the fourth quarter of 2024. Revenue in this sector had previously shown consistent year-over-year increases, rising from $2 billion in 2020 to $10.1 billion last year. In contrast, the wider energy storage market recorded significant growth in Q1 2024, though future prospects may be impacted by political and economic factors such as tariffs and the Inflation Reduction Act modifications.
