What's next for Tesla as its European demand evaporates
Tesla (TSLA) stock slides after data showed that the company's European sales dropped nearly 28% in May, even as overall electric vehicle (EV) demand in the region rose. Yahoo Finance Senior Reporter Pras Subramanian joins Asking for a Trend host Josh Lipton and Fundstrat Global Advisors managing director and global head of technical strategy Mark Newton to discuss what's behind Tesla's slump and how the stock might move going forward. To watch more expert insights and analysis on the latest market action, check out more Asking for a Trend here. Tesla shares went downhill today as more negative data emerges in its core auto business. Yahoo finances price of Meranian joins us now with more prize. Tesla European sales down for the ACA uh trade group in May to about 13,800 units. That's down 27.9% compared to a year ago. Meanwhile, overall sales in the region were up 25% in Europe. And this despite the new Model Y being available. So, what's going on here, Josh? It's kind of more of the same that we've been talking about. There's the must factor, the must factor alienating buyers with his support of far right-wing figures. And of course, there's better competition from Chinese makes like BYD, SAIC, as well as Volkswagen, right, the legacy automakers. So, same story in Europe, demand evaporating. Big question is, will it ever recover? Prize with the headlines. Let's bring back in our expert contributor, now Fundstrat Global Advisors, Mark Newton to discuss some recent moves with Tesla. You look at the technicals on this one, Mark, what do you see? It's encouraging. The stock's been up 15% over the last three months. I mean, obviously it's had a tough first half of the year. Always discouraging when a stock becomes uh more political, but honestly, you know, Tesla's back half of the year is shaping up to be very, very good. I mean, they had a great first weekend with this uh robo taxi rollout. We know that the combination of both FSD and self-autonomous both could account for potentially a trillion dollars in the next five years. Uh and a lot of that is not being shown right now in the current data. So it is sort of a show me stock. Elon always over promises and to some extent has under delivered, but yet uh the stock is is something that is very promising for me. Uh I like the stock a lot. I think getting back above 349 would put it back towards uh new all-time highs. And so I I'm uh, you know, bullish. My cycle projections show the stock continuing to rise in the back half of the year, much different than the first part of the year. So I like it. Prize, let me ask you just back to fundamentals there. When you think about competition for Tesla in Europe, where is that primarily coming from, Prize? I mean, is it China, domestic, you know, European players, both? Yeah, you know, you saw you see some upside uh some upside sales here for for BMW, right? And also, Volkswagen, I mentioned a lot of new smaller models coming out that are playing in spaces that Tesla isn't operating. Same with the Chinese auto makers, they're not operating that that that that sort of cheaper market, the sub 25,000, 30,000 euro market where those other players are operating. Now we Tesla's long been saying that they are going to come out with this cheaper EV. Uh they've been saying that now for the past year. We haven't seen it yet. We're all kind of anxiously waiting to see what it is. What is it? Is going to be a smaller car? Is it going to be like a D content Model Y? We'll see, but what Mark was saying is absolutely right because uh tell about technicals too. The stock is totally divorced from fundamentals, right? We talk about poor European sales, stock down a bit, but it's been up a lot recently. Uh the stock is a momentum stock, right, Mark? And I think that uh as you see in second half of the year, seasonality seasonality wise, that stock tends to do better. Yeah, absolutely right. Look, you look at the first part of the year, a lot of these sales are from time when when Elon was still affiliated with administration. And so it might not account for the current day. It's more of what happened in in recent history. And I think that sentiment uh should start to change in my view going forward. All right, thank you, Prize. And a big thank you, of course to Mark Newton for hanging us with this this afternoon. Some final thoughts, Mark. Nasdaq 100 at new all-time highs. I think Nvidia at new time highs. Uh S&P will get there sooner than later at a time when breadth is slowly but surely starting to expand. That's a good sign at a time when the economy seems to be working, earnings are good, and geopolitical risks are easing. So, investors don't seem to be all in on stocks by a long shot. People are still concerned for the right reasons. That's generally a time you still want to stick with the trend with markets at new highs. Not so much a technical question for you, but a question for a guy who's watched the markets for a long time. You go back to early April to liberation day, right? Sky is falling, run for the hills. What do you just make of the move here? Are you surprised by how fast and hard we've come back? I look at sentiment, I look at cycles. I think they're more important for me in determining where prices can go rather than Fed speak or earnings or any of those. So, you know, there was classic signs of capitulation that happened at the April lows. Um and I put out a report actually in April that said stocks are close to bottoming. I I am surprised of course that we're back at new all-time highs. You can see a bounce, but the fact that tech carried through as quickly as it did uh very, very encouraging. For my great great grandfather, Isaac Newton, you don't ever want to fight trends. Never things that are accelerating cannot be moved without sufficient force. So, like technically, things are in great shape and and sentiment has been a key reason why investors want to stick on board and and try to divorce themselves from what's happening in the world and just concentrate on their portfolios. When you call that bottom, did you get any push back from clients on that? Uh I got a lot of pushback, of course. I mean, I think that people uh think you're you're crazy when when we see markets selling off to the extent they did specifically in late March. I happen to be in in Latin America and so trying to write reports while being in Medellin and and Lima, it's not fun to have to go back and address the volatility and people look at you a little funny. So, uh happy that things worked out and and you know, it's encouraging to see both Tom Lee and myself have been, you know, optimistic and and saw reasons as to why stocks should have bottomed and pushed higher. Uh and still reasons for optimism, you know, I think in in the back half of this year, even if we get a bumpy fall. So, um happy for the recovery. Mark, great to have you on Saturday. Thank you, sir. Good to have you. Thank you. Great to be here. Thanks.

Musk's 'robotaxis' draw regulatory scrutiny after video shows one driving in an opposing lane
Federal traffic safety regulators are looking into suspected problems with Elon Musk's test run of self-driving 'robotaxis' in Texas after videos surfaced showing them braking suddenly or going straight through an intersection from a turning lane and driving down the wrong side of the road. The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration said Tuesday that it has asked Tesla for information about the apparent errors. Though many other videos show robotaxis driving perfectly, if regulators find any major issues, that would likely raise questions about Musk's repeated statements that the robotaxis are safe and his claim that Tesla will dominate a future in which nearly all cars on road will have no one behind the wheel — or even need a steering wheel at all. 'NHTSA is aware of the referenced incidents and is in contact with the manufacturer to gather additional information,' the agency said in a statement. Passengers in Tesla robotaxis on the road in Austin, Texas, have generally been impressed, and the stock rose 8% Monday. Investors grew more cautious Tuesday after news of NHTSA's inquiry, and the stock fell more than 2%. Tesla did not immediately respond to a request for comment. A bullish Tesla financial analyst who was driven around in a robotaxi on Sunday when the test runs began said his ride was perfect and suggested the videos on X and YouTube showing errors were no big deal. 'Any issues they encounter will be fixed,' said Wedbush Securities' Dan Ives, calling the test a 'huge success" in the past three days 'despite the skeptics.' One of those skeptics, a Telemetry Insight expert in car technology, said the videos were alarming enough that the tests as currently run should be halted. 'The system has always had highly erratic performance, working really well a lot of the time but frequently making random and inconsistent but dangerous errors," said Sam Abuelsamid in a text, referring to Tesla's self-driving software. 'This is not a system that should be carrying members of the public or being tested on public roads without trained test drivers behind the wheel.' In one video, a Tesla moves into a lane with a big yellow arrow indicating it is for left turns only but then goes straight through the intersection instead, entering an opposing lane on the other side. The car seems to realize it made some mistake and begins to swerve several times, with the steering wheel jerking back and forth, before eventually settling down. But the Tesla proceeds in the opposing lane for 10 seconds. At the time, there was no oncoming traffic. The passenger in the car who posted the video, money manager Rob Maurer, shrugged off the incident. 'There are no vehicles anywhere in sight, so this wasn't a safety issue,' Maurer said in commentary accompanying his video. 'I didn't feel uncomfortable in the situation.' Another video shows a Tesla stopping twice suddenly in the middle of the road, possibly responding to the flashing lights of police cars. But the police are obviously not interested in the Tesla or traffic in front or behind it because they have parked on side roads not near it, apparently responding to an unrelated event. Federal regulators opened an investigation last year into how Teslas with what Musk calls Full Self-Driving have responded in low-visibility conditions after several accidents, including one that was fatal. Tesla was forced a recall 2.4 million of its vehicles at the time. Musk has said his Teslas using Full Self-Driving are safer than human drivers and his robotaxis using a newer, improved version of the system will be so successful so quickly that he will be able to deploy hundreds of thousands of them on the road by the end of next year. Even if the Austin test goes well, though, the billionaire faces big challenges. Other self-driving companies have launched taxis, including Amazon's Zoox and current market leader Waymo, which is not only is picking up passengers in Austin, but several other cities. The company recently announced it had clocked its 10 millionth paid ride. Musk needs a win in robotaxis. His work on in Trump administration as cost-cutting czar has alienated many buyers among Tesla's traditional environmentally conscious and liberal base in the U.S., tanking sales. Buyers in Europe having balked, too, after Musk embraced some extreme right-wing politicians earlier this year in both Britain and Germany.
