  • Tesla protests, falling sales, and fierce competition are testing the popular saying, "You should never bet against Elon Musk."

Tesla's year has begun with significant challenges, as detailed in an article from MSN Autos. The company is facing a series of setbacks including a sharp decline in stock value, with shares dropping nearly 12% in January alone, marking the worst start to a year since its 2010 IPO. This downturn is attributed to several factors: concerns over demand for Tesla's electric vehicles, increased competition in the EV market, and broader economic issues like rising interest rates affecting consumer spending. Additionally, Tesla has had to resort to price cuts in major markets like the U.S. and China to boost sales, which has squeezed profit margins. The company also contends with production issues, including factory shutdowns due to supply chain disruptions and a recall of over 362,000 vehicles due to potential safety concerns with its Full Self-Driving (FSD) software. These challenges are compounded by Elon Musk's controversial management style and his focus on other ventures, which has led to investor unease about Tesla's strategic direction.
