Tesla’s Various Issues Coming Out Of The Day Yesterday
Yesterday’s stock price fluctuation… It’s crazy
Good news and bad news
The stock price fluctuated a lot when everything came out
All the major Tesla sales data in Europe are reported 🇪🇺
After growing slightly in 2022, we can see that we made a big leap last year. This makes it harder to shine again this year.
The delivery wave was still visible in the first quarter of last year and has moderated throughout the year. So April sales could be positive again compared to the year before.
Last quarter was trending down 9% from its record quarter of 23Q1.
Each country tends to be very different. The three biggest markets have been on the decline year after year, but some others have been strong.
But unit sales don’t tell the whole story. If you look at market share, it helps you get a better picture.
Take Norway. Sales in the first quarter are down year-on-year, but market share for the year is up 2.9 percentage points year to date.
Europe is mostly serviced by Giga Berlin and as we know it hasn’t been a smooth quarter there.
- Tesla plunges after Reuters posts news of cancellation of low-cost vehicles

Isn’t this a Reuters complaint from investors who reported and sold the news???
BREAKING NEWS: Elon Musk has announced Tesla will unveil Robotaxi on August 8.
REUTERS) Tesla Focuses On Developing Self-Driving Robot Shafts in Model 2 Development Climate
Tesla canceled its long-promised affordable car (Model 2) to drive its growth as a mass market carmaker, according to three sources familiar with the matter and a company message seen by Reuters.
The carmaker will continue to develop autonomous robo-taxi on the same compact car platform, the sources said.
The decision marks Tesla CEO Elon Musk’s abandonment of his long-held goal of affordable electric vehicles for the public. In 2006, he said in his first “master plan” for the company that he would first produce luxury models and then fund “cheap family cars” with those profits.
Since then, he has repeatedly promised investors and consumers that he would make such vehicles. In January, Musk recently told investors that Tesla plans to start producing affordable models at its Texas plant in the second half of 2025, following an exclusive Reuters report detailing such plans.
Currently, Tesla’s cheapest Model 3 sedan is on sale in the U.S. for about $39,000. The Model 2, now a defunct entry-level vehicle, was expected to start at about $25,000.
Tesla did not respond to a request for comment.
The dramatic turnaround comes as Tesla faces fierce competition worldwide as Chinese EV makers enter the market for less than $10,000. Plans for driverless robotaxi, which could take longer to deliver, carry more challenging engineering challenges and more regulatory risks.
Two sources said they learned of Tesla’s decision to ditch the Model 2 during a meeting attended by numerous employees, one of whom said the meeting took place in late February.
“Elon’s instruction was to go all-in on the robotaxi,” the official said.
A third source confirmed the cancellation and said the robo-taxi would be produced under the new plan, but much smaller than expected for the Model 2.
