“CODE RED.”
That’s how longtime Tesla bull, Dan Ives, described the company’s current situation.
His words? “A disaster on every metric.”
Tesla missed earnings. Reported its worst delivery quarter in years.
Revenue from its core auto business collapsed 20 percent year over year.
And the stock? Down more than 40 percent from its recent high.
This is the company that turned everyday investors into millionaires.
But now? It’s not just the numbers that are falling. It’s confidence.
A recent CNBC poll shows just how far the sentiment has turned: Nearly half of Americans now hold a negative view of Tesla, while only 27% are still positive.
That kind of brand damage is hard to ignore, and for some investors, it’s enough to say “I’m out.”
And yet, despite the dismal earnings, Tesla’s stock actually rallied after their Q1 earnings call.
Because for some, the worst may already be priced in. Consider these facts:
- Tesla still holds a strong balance sheet.
- It’s investing aggressively in self-driving tech, AI infrastructure, even robotaxis.
- And while competitors are cutting back, Tesla’s doubling down on innovation, something few others can afford to do right now.
In other words… what looks like a breakdown today could turn out to be one of the best buying moments Tesla shareholders have seen in years.
But is that optimism justified, or just the kind of hope that gets investors burned?
