TSLA ned på uppdatering från Panasonic:
TOKYO, Oct 30 (Reuters) - Panasonic Holdings, which supplies Tesla, said on Monday it had cut automotive battery production in Japan in the September quarter and shrank the division's annual profit forecast by 15%, underscoring a global slowdown in EV sales.
The company's less positive outlook for its battery segment follows similar warnings by several automakers and suppliers, as major economies, including China and Europe, see weaker growth.
The energy unit made battery cells for Tesla's premium Model S and Model X that during the quarter came with a higher price tag than what would make them eligible for U.S. tax credits, said Panasonic's Group CFO Hirokazu Umeda.
"Since these are luxury cars that exceed this price, demand has fallen," Umeda told analysts and reporters during a briefing on the company's second-quarter financial results.
