Shares of the electric-vehicle maker were down about 4% in trading after the bell.

The company on Tuesday reported revenue of USD 25.50 billion for the three months ended June, compared with USD 24.93 billion a year earlier. Analysts on average had estimated USD 24.77 billion, according to LSEG data.
