- SUMMARY
Tesla’s stock has fallen significantly due to decreasing demand for electric vehicles (EVs).
While EV sales continue to rise, they have not been growing at the pace many expected.
Consumers are facing concerns over high costs, battery range anxiety, and insurance costs, especially since the recent price reductions of EVs have lowered their resale value.
Additionally, the influx of Chinese EVs, with their lower production costs and potential to circumvent tariffs by building plants in Mexico, poses a significant threat to domestic automakers.
If the Trump administration wins the White House, it may roll back regulations requiring automakers to produce EVs, which could impact their profitability and future plans.
