A 'Slice' of Reality: Tesla's Downward Spiral
Well well well... looks like someone's having a bit of a wobble eh? Tesla's shares are doing a Novak Djokovic impression – you know that dramatic dip before a comeback? But this time it's not a hamstring; it's 'ongoing brand erosion,' apparently. Down almost 6% on Monday! Now I'm no expert in electric cars but I know a thing or two about pressure. And when the stock's down 44% for the year that's more than just a double fault.
Elon's 'Advantage In': Politics and Protests
So what's causing this 'unforced error'? They're saying Elon's 'political activities' are to blame. Honestly the guy's trying to save the world one tweet at a time! But apparently some folks in Europe and the U.S. aren't too thrilled. Protests boycotts even criminal activity! Look I get it everyone's got an opinion. But let's keep things civil yeah? No need to smash up a Tesla just because you disagree with a tweet! Remember what I always say: 'Be the best version of yourself!'
Deliveries 'Out': A 13% Dip?
Ouch! A 13% drop in vehicle deliveries? That's like missing an overhead smash on match point! Analysts are whispering about Trump's tariffs and potential weakness in China. China eh? A tough market. It's like trying to win a point against Nadal at Roland Garros – you gotta be perfect! And with "nationalistic" consumer trends it's even tougher. Maybe Elon needs to learn some Mandarin and start praising dumplings! Just a suggestion!
Tariffs Tantrums and Tesla's Troubles!
Tariffs are never a good look. They are like a rain delay in a Grand Slam final. Nobody likes them but we have to deal with them. They also mention "brand erosion" in the US and Europe. Ouch! Sounds like the brand needs some electrolytes and a good pep talk pronto!
The 'Deuce' Point: Can Tesla Turn It Around?
Dan Ives a Tesla bull (apparently they exist!) is hoping for a "turnaround vision" from Musk. He says Tesla has become a "political symbol globally." Yikes! Nobody wants to be a political football. As for me I am always practicing always learning and always trying to overcome every obstacle that is put in front of me. Even if that obstacle is 6'10 and goes by the name of Medvedev. Can Tesla do that and find their inner zen? We shall see.
The Grand Slam Comeback?
Barclays has slashed its price target for Tesla. Ouch! But here's the thing: in tennis and in life you never give up! Maybe this "FSD event" will be Tesla's secret weapon its drop shot from the baseline. Maybe Elon will ditch the politics and focus on making cars. Who knows? But one thing's for sure: the game's not over till it's over. And remember folks 'the mind is everything. What you think you become.' So think positive about Tesla... or maybe just buy a bicycle!

Brand erosion is a real thing. Perception matters.
