San Diego artist turns curbs into stunning street art masterpieces
(FOX 5/KUSI) — 'When most people think about curb painting, they just think of simple numbers,' said Antonio Lopez, 'We want to take it to a different level.' A concrete canvas for the San Diego Curb Doctor. 'My inspiration is typically seeing the Sports teams,' continued Lopez. 'I want to be known as a quality curb painter.' Starting in February 2024, Antonio Lopez began by creating stencils and posting them to social media. Now with more than 5,000 followers, the 27-year-old says business is booming. 'Each category of art is different,' he said. 'We really wanted to focus on something that isn't too saturated yet. Curbs are a big thing; you can always add different kinds of logos, different colors. That's where I take inspiration from.' With prices ranging from $125 to $175, each curb has its own unique design. 'It's different compared to traditional painting on canvas,' continued Lopez. 'I feel like it's not really seen in San Diego yet. You don't see too many curb painters putting out the quality I do.' Copyright 2025 Nexstar Media, Inc. All rights reserved.

‘Overpromising and Underdelivering,' Says Top Investor About Tesla Stock
Listen to Tesla, Inc. (NASDAQ:TSLA) CEO Elon Musk for just a few minutes, and one recognizes an individual with some seriously audacious goals. From space flight to autonomous driving, it is clear that Musk is not one to sit on his laurels and coast. Elevate Your Investing Strategy: Take advantage of TipRanks Premium at 50% off! Unlock powerful investing tools, advanced data, and expert analyst insights to help you invest with confidence. Indeed, it is the CEO's compulsive energy and incredible ambitions that has made him the richest person alive. Recently, however, Musk's salesmanship is brushing up against an unconvinced market when it comes to TSLA, and the company's share price has been dropping. After ending 2024 on a tear, TSLA is down over 20% for the year due to declining EV sales and a worsening brand for Musk himself. Can a robotaxi effort turn the narrative around? Count one top investor known by the pseudonym Stone Fox Capital unconvinced that this will happen anytime soon. 'Tesla, Inc.'s robotaxi launch remains underwhelming, with delays, regulatory issues, and only supervised services—not true autonomous robotaxis as promised,' explains the 5-star investor, who is among the top 3% of TipRanks' stock pros. Stone Fox notes that Tesla is having issues shifting from supervised to unsupervised driving, disappointing shareholders who are counting on the Musk-led firm to deliver the goods. The investor further details that Musk recently shared on the last earnings call that the company would 'probably have autonomous ride-hailing in probably half the population of the U.S. by the end of the year.' Needless to say, Stone Fox does not believe this assertion is grounded in reality, pointing out that at present the company is only operating a handful of supervised taxis. Moreover, it is not just the future ambitions which the investor finds troubling, but the current operations as well. Stone Fox cites slumping EV sales, which the investor chalks up in large part to Musk's declining popularity. 'Tesla is facing a real scenario where market share is slipping all around the world after peaking 2 years ago,' adds Stone Fox. The stakes are high for the company, whose share price trades at very high multiples – a Forward 2026 Price-to-Earnings ratio of 128x – that assume earnings will be jumping up by 43%. 'The company has a massive opportunity ahead capable of moving the needle on the $1 trillion market cap, but if Tesla continues the path of overpromising and underdelivering, the stock is headed far lower,' concludes Stone Fox Capital, who rates TSLA a Sell. (To watch Stone Fox Capital's track record, click here) Wall Street presents a mixed picture when it comes TSLA. With 13 Buys, 15 Holds, and 8 Sells, TSLA has a consensus Hold (i.e. Neutral) rating. Its 12-month average price target of $305.37 implies minimal movement in the year ahead.
