Quick Glance: Tesla Stocks Plummet Before Earnings Announcement

The Tesla stock dropped by 3.4% on Monday, closing at $142.05, marking a 43% decline for the year, the second worst among S&P 500 members.

Tesla cut prices in the USA, China, and across Europe, offering reductions of up to $2,000 on their popular Model Y SUV and entry-level Model 3 sedan.

These reductions compound investors' growing concerns following weak first-quarter deliveries, layoffs, and a Cybertruck recall.

Analysts are anticipating a 5.1% revenue decrease for Tesla in the first quarter, potentially marking the first year-over-year decline since Q2 2020 due to Covid disruptions.

Quick Glance: Tesla Cybertruck Recall and Stock Decline 2024

Elon Musk's underlings at Tesla Inc. are accustomed to chaos, but this year has been particularly turbulent. The stock price has plummeted, there has been confusion around product decisions and price cuts. Tesla's position in the Chinese EV market is under threat, and a meeting with India's Prime Minister for a planned investment announcement was abruptly called off.

Tesla is expected to report a significant drop in operating profit and its first revenue decline in four years. Musk has ordered massive layoffs and is staking the company's future on a self-driving vehicle concept called the robotaxi. Many employees are unsettled by the changes the CEO wants to implement.

Musk has been discussing the concept of an autonomous taxi service for at least eight years, but Tesla has not yet built the infrastructure required for it. The focus is now on the robotaxi instead of a cheaper mass-market vehicle that many investors deem crucial. Key managers have left the company, and analysts are concerned about Tesla's strategy.

Musk has announced that more than 10% of the workforce will be laid off. Transitioning to the robotaxi service is risky, as regulation at the state and local level can be challenging. Nevertheless, Musk is betting on Tesla making robotaxis a reality by promoting FSD and cutting prices. Some of the Tesla layoffs were poorly organized and perceived as humiliating.

Tesla cuts prices around the world as sales decline in a chaotic week: Global vehicle deliveries fall for first time in four years amid growing competition ...

Quick Glance: Tesla cuts prices in US, China and Germany as competition intensifies

Tesla has announced aggressive price cuts in China and Germany, shortly after reducing prices in the United States, as the world’s largest maker of electric vehicles (EV) faces declining sales and growing competition in major markets.

The prices of four models were slashed in China by 14,000 yuan ($1,932), while in Germany, the price of the Model 3 rear-wheel drive was lowered by 2,000 euros ($2,132). Earlier cuts were made in the US, with prices of three models reduced, while prices for the Model 3 and Cybertruck remained unchanged.

The price cuts come during a tough time for Tesla, with a significant stock plunge and a drop in quarterly deliveries. Elon Musk postponed his planned India trip due to company obligations. In China, Tesla's price cuts escalate an existing price war in a highly competitive sector influenced by other manufacturers like BYD offering more affordable options.

The price wars in China began in 2022 and continue with over 30 car makers announcing further price reductions, impacting the entire auto industry's profit margins. Competitors like BYD and XPeng are also offering subsidies and lowering prices to attract buyers in the EV market, posing challenges to Tesla's market dominance.

Quick Glance: Tesla Cybertrucks Recall Issued

Tesla responds to defective accelerator pedals in nearly 3,900 Cybertruck pickups causing unintended acceleration.

The recall involves Cybertruck vehicles manufactured between November 2023 and April 2024.

An unauthorized use of soap during the accelerator pedal assembly likely led to the defect.

Quick Glance: Elon Musk Postpones India Trip, Sources Say

Tesla's CEO Elon Musk has postponed a planned trip to India where he was to meet Prime Minister Narendra Modi and announce plans to enter the South Asian market, according to three people familiar with the matter.

Musk was expected to announce an investment of $2 billion to $3 billion, mainly to build a factory in India, following the government's policy of lowering high tariffs on imported cars if companies invest locally.

His planned Sunday arrival was set to follow two days after the start of India's national elections, where Modi is projected to secure a rare third term.

Reasons for the trip postponement were not immediately disclosed, and neither Tesla nor Modi's office responded promptly to requests for comments.

Quick Glance: Bolsonaro Mobilizes Supporters in Rio

Former Brazilian President Jair Bolsonaro rallied thousands of supporters in Rio de Janeiro on Sunday to boost his political capital after losing a reelection bid in October 2022 and facing allegations of involvement in a coup.

Bolsonaro, under investigation for undermining faith in Brazil's voting system, took the opportunity to praise Elon Musk and urged the crowd to applaud the billionaire.

Brazil's federal police formally accused Bolsonaro of sowing doubts about his vaccination records during the COVID-19 pandemic, leading to potential criminal charges.

Bolsonaro emphasized that his government never operated outside the bounds of the constitution and addressed accusations of involvement in manipulating decrees to overturn the 2022 election results.

Quick Glance: EU Threatens to Suspend TikTok Lite App Features

The European Commission has expressed concerns over the 'risks of serious damage for the mental health of users', including minors, regarding the TikTok Lite app.

TikTok Lite allows users in France and Spain to earn points that can be exchanged for vouchers or gift cards by watching and liking videos.

The commission is threatening to take interim measures, including suspending the rewards program in the European Union, if TikTok fails to provide a risk assessment.

The EU has already fined TikTok under the Digital Services Act and could impose further sanctions if the company does not respond to requests or prove safety measures.
