Executives braced investors for another loss in the second quarter before returning to profitability in the second half of the year.

Tesla reported a wider-than-expected loss and less revenue than anticipated during the first quarter as demand for its electric cars waned after the company lost a valuable tax credit for buyers on Jan. 1.Here's what Tesla reported, versus what analysts expected based on average estimates compiles by Refinitiv:

CEO Elon Musk also noted that logistical challenges, and seasonality impacted sales for the first-quarter. People don't like to buy cars in the winter, he told analysts on a conference call.
