Tesla's woes have deepened as latest production and deliveries figures showed a greater fall than expected.
Tesla, Inc.'s Q2 deliveries missed expectations, following the trend since Q3'24; nonetheless, TSLA stock is in the green on already low expectations and Musk-driven sentiment. We maintain our Buy. Tesla's demand issue, price pressure from Chinese rivals, and lackluster Robotaxi launch continue to be big problems, but ones that have been priced into market sentiment for the near-term. Expectations for Tesla are already hovering at a low level, having been dragged down from initial expectations of 500,000 for the quarter to 387,000.
Even Tesla's energy storage business, which has been a small, yet notable bright spot, can't escape the cloud that's hanging over the company.
Tesla, Inc. and Lucid Group, Inc. have both posted disappointing Q2 delivery results this week, adding to investor angst about looming EV demand risks. Aside from the July 9 tariff decision, the broader EV sector also faces another looming headwind ahead of the July 4 deadline on the Republican tax and spending bill. Specifically, the upcoming tax and spending bill threatens to terminate the current consumer EV tax credit by September 30, which could adversely impact U.S. EV adoption.
I'm maintaining my Strong Buy on Tesla, Inc. stock at $300, and see the current pullback as an opportunity to accumulate ahead of a potentially strong second half. Both political headlines and core fundamentals drive Tesla's volatility, but long-term performance will depend on execution, especially in EVs and Robotaxis. Despite disappointing delivery numbers and fierce competition in China, Tesla's future value relies heavily on scaling robotaxi and FSD technologies.

Tesla, Inc.'s valuation is still tied to CEO Elon Musk's narrative, but now his controversies are capping the upside and threatening the stock's premium. Q2 deliveries showed stabilization, not growth; year-over-year declines and market share losses in China and Europe remain concerning. Margins and profitability are far below historical highs, and even a revenue beat would only meet already-lowered expectations—nowhere near justifying the stock's lofty multiple.
