Tesla Global News #28

Elon Musk, Tesla’s trailblazing CEO, is making waves with a renewed pledge to be “super focused” on the company, dispelling concerns about his divided attention. As co-lead of the Department of Government Efficiency, Musk has faced scrutiny over his ability to juggle multiple high-profile roles. In a recent statement, he reaffirmed Tesla as his top priority, vowing to dedicate substantial time to advancing its mission of sustainable energy and autonomous driving. This commitment is music to the ears of investors and fans who view Musk’s visionary leadership as the spark behind Tesla’s groundbreaking innovations, from the Model S to the Cybertruck.

Musk’s focus comes at a pivotal moment. With the robotaxi service launching in Austin this month, Tesla is poised to redefine urban mobility and cement its lead in autonomous driving technology. The company is also working on a more affordable EV model, aimed at countering demand challenges and capturing a wider market. Musk’s hands-on approach has historically driven Tesla’s success, but it’s not without controversy. His political activities have polarized consumers, with some X posts praising his multitasking genius and others blaming him for brand backlash. As Tesla pushes toward its next chapter, Musk’s ability to balance innovation with public perception will be critical. Stay tuned to Tesla’s official channels for updates on his strategic moves and the robotaxi rollout.

Tesla is navigating rough terrain in 2025, with a reported 13% drop in Q1 deliveries and declining sales in Europe, a crucial market. Economic headwinds and a controversial brand image, tied to Elon Musk’s political engagements, are dampening consumer demand. To turn the tide, Tesla is rolling out aggressive incentives, including 0% financing, steep discounts on models like the Model 3 and Model Y, and attractive lease options. These moves aim to make Tesla’s EVs more accessible and rekindle interest among price-sensitive buyers, especially as competitors like BYD offer cheaper alternatives.

In parallel, Tesla is doubling down on innovation to keep its loyal customer base engaged. The recent software update (2025.14.100.1) brings exciting features like B-Pillar recording, an enhanced dashcam viewer, and the option to avoid highways, improving both safety and user experience. Upcoming updates may include lumbar support in driver profiles and a turn signal stalk retrofit, addressing long-standing customer feedback. However, Tesla’s challenges extend beyond sales. Vandalism and protests targeting its showrooms and factories in the U.S. and Europe continue, with some incidents under investigation as potential “domestic terrorism.” X posts reveal a divided public, with loyalists raving about Tesla’s tech and critics calling for a brand refresh.

Tesla’s stock is charging ahead, hovering just below $350 and celebrating its fourth consecutive week of gains as of June 5, 2025. After a shaky start to the year, with shares taking a hit from economic uncertainties and fierce competition in the EV sector, this rally marks a turning point. Investors are buzzing with optimism, fueled by recent trade agreements and tariff reductions that promise to streamline Tesla’s global operations, particularly in high-stakes markets like China and Europe. These policy shifts are expected to lower production costs at Tesla’s Gigafactories in Shanghai and Berlin, boosting profitability.

The excitement doesn’t stop there. Tesla’s ambitious plans for autonomous driving are a major driver of investor confidence, with the highly anticipated robotaxi service set to launch in Austin, Texas, later this month. Rumors of a more affordable Tesla model, potentially debuting in 2026, are also stoking enthusiasm, as it could expand Tesla’s reach to a broader consumer base. However, analysts warn that sustaining this momentum will require Tesla to navigate a crowded EV landscape, with competitors like BYD and legacy automakers ramping up their offerings. Posts on X reflect a mix of bullish sentiment and cautious skepticism, with some users predicting a $400 stock price by year-end and others flagging risks like supply chain disruptions.
