Tesla: From Magnificent 7 to Magnificent Wreck? Is the Trump Trade Backfiring Spectacularly?
Tesla, once a market darling, is reportedly down a staggering 40% in 2025. Is this a temporary blip or a sign of deeper issues? The article links this downturn to President Trump’s reciprocal tariffs and Elon Musk’s dual role as Tesla CEO and head of the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE). Is Musk spread too thin? Are his political activities hurting Tesla?
The article also highlights declining Tesla deliveries, record trade-in rates, and even protests by disgruntled owners. Are we witnessing the beginning of the end for Tesla's dominance? Even staunch Tesla bulls like Adam Jonas and Dan Ives are expressing concerns. Ives even suggests Tesla is facing a crisis. Do you agree? What needs to happen for Tesla to regain its momentum?
Beyond Trump and Musk, the article points to increasing competition, particularly from Chinese EV manufacturers like BYD, who are offering innovative charging technology and free autonomous driving features. Can Tesla compete in this rapidly evolving landscape? Is its full self-driving (FSD) technology still a compelling selling point? The piece also mentions Tesla’s exclusion from some Canadian EV incentives due to Trump’s tariffs. Could this be a sign of things to come in other markets?
Where do you see Tesla in the next 5 years? Is this a buying opportunity, or should investors steer clear? Let’s discuss.
