‘Plenty of Reasons,' Says Investor About Tesla Stock
To listen to Tesla, Inc. (NASDAQ:TSLA) CEO Elon Musk, the sky is truly the limit. The company head made some bold pronouncements on the company's Q2 earnings report last month, such as the prediction that 'we will probably have autonomous ride-hailing in probably half the population of the US by the end of the year.' 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. Of course, world-changing ambitions are nothing new for Musk, who has made no secret of his designs of making Tesla the most valuable company in the world. Many investors are happy to go along for the ride, though it has been a bumpy one over the past year. While TSLA's share price is up 71% over the past twelve months, 2025 has seen its shares of ups and downs and it has fallen 16% for the year. Indeed, Musk's declining popularity across large swaths of the U.S. and Europe – key markets for Tesla – drove EV sales down during the first half of the year. Despite the eye-watering figures of the technologically ambitious projects, one investor known by the pseudonym Hunting Alpha is latching onto the real-world numbers. The investor believes that these provide plenty of reasons for why TSLA is a no-go zone for now. 'I continue to be bearish on the stock due to mounting challenges in its current business and seemingly overoptimistic expectations on new developments,' explains Hunting Alpha. The investor cites the expiration of the EV tax credits, which add another pressure point for declining sales figures. Though Hunting Alpha does acknowledge that there could be a sequential increase this quarter as consumers rush to buy EVs before the $7,500 cushion goes away – CFO Vaibhav Taneja encouraged buyers to 'place your order now' – the investor anticipates a 'sharp demand slowdown' in the months that follow. Another cause for concern is the 'robotaxi dream,' which the investor believes is a bit farther out on the horizon than bulls might be hoping for. Take Musk's pronouncement that the company will available for half the U.S. by the end of the year. Currently, Hunting Alpha points out, Tesla is present in just two major regions – Austin, Texas and the San Francisco Bay Area – which are home to roughly 9 million people. 'Going from 9 million to 174 million in just 5 months seems rather unrealistic to me,' emphasizes Hunting Alpha, who reminds investors that there some 347 million Americans. While the future might be bright, it's just not enough for Hunting Alpha at present. 'I cannot ignore the headwinds in its current business,' concludes Hunting Alpha, who rates TSLA a Sell. (To watch Hunting Alpha's track record, click here) Wall Street, however, sees the bull and the bear case, as well as the more neutral middle ground. With 14 Buys, 15 Holds, and 8 Sells, TSLA holds a consensus Hold (i.e. Neutral) rating. Its 12-month average price target of $307.23 has a downside of ~9%.

Robot Driver Puts Ranger Super Duty Through Ford's Harshest Test
Ford does not believe in being gentle with its trucks. To prove the Ranger Super Duty can take punishment, the brand sends it straight to the harshest road it could find. Since it didn't meet their standards, Ford built their own. At Ford Australia's You Yangs Proving Ground in Victoria, there is a stretch of man-made hell called Silver Creek, and it is where the Ranger earned its stripes. Silver Creek is not your everyday 4x4 trail. Instead of a creek bed filled with smooth stones, Silver Creek has 300 randomly scattered bumps, each a different size and shape, purposefully designed to push the chassis' limits. Ford says "a single run on Silver Creek generates over 2000 suspension movements," and it especially targets "the durability of engine and body mounts, joints, and connectors". Everything from top to bottom gets pushed to its limit, and Ford claims the test is equivalent to 10 years' abuse from driving in harsh conditions. Judging by the above video of the SIlver Creek test, it would not just take a toll on Ranger, but anyone behind the wheel too – yes, it's that rough. As a result, Ford programmed an autonomous robot to pilot the Superduty up and down the track. This mechanical daredevil ran the Ranger Super Duty over Silver Creek 24 hours a day, in rain, hail, and shine. racking up more than 2,000 suspension movements in a single pass. The aim was to push every mount, joint, and connector to their limits without mercy. As if things were not difficult enough, the Ranger Super Duty faced Silver Creek while loaded to its maximum gross vehicle mass of 4,500 kg (9,921 lbs). The forces pounding through the truck in that state are brutal, far exceeding what most owners will ever put it through. And that is exactly the point. If it can survive Silver Creek fully loaded, it can survive just about anything an owner might throw at it. Although many don't want to admit it, this test proves the Built Ford Tough slogan isn't just a fruitless statement. Copyright 2025 The Arena Group, Inc. All Rights Reserved.
