Tesla=E2=80=99s wild day

Yesterday saw Tesla shares go on a wild ride, as the perpetu= al question for the automaker remains, what matters more for the stock: peo= ple not spending money on cars, or people spending lots of money on calls?<= /p>

The day began with a tough miss for the EV champion when it comes to delive= red vehicles, but then fortunes shifted after reports that CEO Elon Musk ma= y soon be stepping back from his work in Washington. Here=E2=80=99s what we= nt down:

  • Just before market open, Tesla reported it sold = 336,681 vehicles, down 13% from last year and tens= of thousands of deliveries short of average = analyst expectations. 
  • Conditions in Q1 should have been prett= y good for Tesla: no tariff-related price increases for parts = yet, the potential elimination of the EV credit as a motivator for buyers, = and a big push for 0% financing. With those advantages slipping, why would = one expect a turnaround?
  • bottomed out down just over 5%. Then, = well, a turnaround.
  • After that, Tesla investors got some unexpectedly good news: Musk may so= on be leaving the White House, giving him more time to focus on his compani= es, and the stock quickly reversed its losses for the day.

THE TAKEAWAY
<= td class=3D"pad" style=3D"padding-bottom:10px">

Sure, it=E2=80=99s been a rough quarter, but it sure seems that a key reaso= n for the sales miss was weakness in the US, and a key driver of that is Mus= k=E2=80=99s newfound political prominence. Dialing that back and stepping o= ut of the spotlight might be just the thing Tesla needs.
