July 2 (Reuters) - Tesla TSLA.O reported a sharper-than-expected fall in second-quarter deliveries on Wednesday, as intense competition and backlash against CEO Elon Musk's political stance hit global demand for its aging electric-vehicle lineup.
Tesla said it delivered 384,122 vehicles in the second quarter, down 13.5% from 443,956 units a year ago.
Analysts expected Tesla to report deliveries of about 394,378 vehicles for the April-June period, according to an average of 23 estimates from Visible Alpha.
