Despite the decline, the Bolt was still the company's top-selling EV in the quarter. In comparison, Tesla also reported a decline in sales but sold more of its higher-end EVs. The lower-end Model 3 and Y vehicles accounted for a majority of Tesla's overall sales. The biggest automaker in the U.S. by sales on Tuesday reported a near 21% drop in EV sales for the first quarter of 2024, partly owing to the discontinuation of its best-selling electric model. **What Happened:** **General Motors** (NYSE:GM) sold 16,425 electric vehicles in the U.S. in the first three months of 2024, marking a drop of 20.5% year-on-year. The drop is largely due to the 64.3% year-on-year drop in sales of the Chevrolet Bolt electric vehicles which the company discontinued in late 2023. However, despite the production halt, Bolt was the best-selling EV for the company in the quarter, seconded by the Cadillac Lyriq. EVs, however, contributed to merely 2.8% of the company’s total vehicle sales in the country which touched 594,233 units in the quarter. **VEHICLE NAME** **Q1 SALES** **IN U.S.** Chevrolet Bolt 7,040 Cadillac Lyriq 5,800 GMC Hummer EV 1,668 Chevrolet Silverado EV 1,061 Chevrolet Blazer EV 600 Brightdrop 256 **TOTAL** **16,425** **Comparing With The Bigshot:** U.S. EV giant Tesla Inc (NASDAQ:TSLA) on Tuesday also reported an 8.5% year-on-year decline in sales in the first quarter with 386,810 vehicles delivered across the world, shedding light on an overall decline in demand in the EV market. Tesla, however, does not segment its vehicle deliveries by geography. Despite the overall sales drop, Tesla sold more of its higher-end EVs. The company has three higher-end EV offerings- Model S, X, and Cybertruck. The higher-end version of the Cybertruck is priced at nearly $100,000. While the company does not provide a model-wise sales breakdown among the three, it reported on Tuesday that it sold a total of 17,027 units of the vehicles in the quarter, marking a 59.2% jump from the 10,695 units sold a year ago. However, Tesla’s lower-end Model 3 and Y vehicles account for a majority of its overall sales. Model 3/Y deliveries dropped 10.3% in the last quarter as compared to Q1 2023, dragging overall deliveries lower. *Check out more of Benzinga’s Future Of Mobility coverage by* following this link*.* ***Read More:*** *Elon Musk’s Tesla Is Austin’s Biggest Private Employer: So How Much Do Giga Texas Workers Get Paid?* ### Related Stocks - [MRVL.US - Marvell Tech](https://longbridge.com/en/quote/MRVL.US.md) - [MU.US - Micron Tech](https://longbridge.com/en/quote/MU.US.md) - [NVDA.US - NVIDIA](https://longbridge.com/en/quote/NVDA.US.md) - [SOXL.US - Direxion Semicon Bull 3X](https://longbridge.com/en/quote/SOXL.US.md) - [NVDL.US - GraniteShares 2x Long NVDA Daily ETF](https://longbridge.com/en/quote/NVDL.US.md) - [AMD.US - AMD](https://longbridge.com/en/quote/AMD.US.md) - [GM.US - General Motors](https://longbridge.com/en/quote/GM.US.md) ## Related News & Research | Title | Description | URL | |-------|-------------|-----| | Mouser Electronics to Highlight Latest Semiconductors and Technologies for Engineers at DesignCon 2026 | Mouser Electronics will showcase its latest semiconductors and technologies at DesignCon 2026, taking place from Februar | [Link](https://longbridge.com/en/news/276069036.md) | | SemiQ partners with distributor NAC Semi across North America | SemiQ Inc has partnered with NAC Semi to enhance the distribution of its silicon carbide (SiC) power semiconductors acro | [Link](https://longbridge.com/en/news/276074309.md) | | Herald Investment Management Ltd Boosts Position in Everspin Tech $MRAM | Herald Investment Management Ltd increased its stake in Everspin Tech (NASDAQ:MRAM) by 18.5% in Q3, now holding 800,000 | [Link](https://longbridge.com/en/news/276001923.md) | | How Ricursive Intelligence raised $335M at a $4B valuation in 4 months | Ricursive Intelligence, co-founded by AI experts Anna Goldie and Azalia Mirhoseini, raised $335 million in just four mon | [Link](https://longbridge.com/en/news/276070814.md) | | GF Fund Management CO.
