‘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.'

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%.

Gas soars by double digits in Florida. See the prices in Miami and other areas
Gas prices are on a yo-to string, dipping and rising from week to week. And now they are back up in Florida as the week begins. On Monday, Aug. 11, the cost of gas is up about 10 cents a gallon in Florida and 4 cents in South Florida, according to AAA and fuel-monitoring service GasBuddy. Prices in the Miami area are about 2 1/2 cents higher than a month ago and 34 1/2 cents lower than than a year ago. 'Florida gas prices have fluctuated within the same 26-cent range for almost a year now,' said Mark Jenkins, spokesman for AAA - The Auto Club Group. 'Prices at the pump will continue to move in that range until there's a significant change in oil prices or a major disruption — like a hurricane — impacts the supply chain.' Several areas of Florida are still under $3 a gallon. North Florida remains the cheapest to get gas in the state. Naples and Palm Beach County are among the most expensive areas. Here's what to know if you're commuting or traveling in Florida: Miami-Dade: The average price: $2.98 a gallon on Monday, Aug. 11, a 4-cent increase from last week, according to GasBuddy's survey of nearly 1,700 stations in the region. Cheapest gas in the Miami area is $2.65 and the most expensive $4.39. Fort Lauderdale: $3.02, according to AAA, a 7-cent increase from last week. West Palm Beach/Boca Raton: $3.17, according to AAA, a decrease of 23-cent increase from last week. Average: The average price for a gallon of gas in Florida on Monday, Aug. 11, according to AAA, is $3.03, a 10-cent increase from last week. Prices on Monday, Aug. 11, according to AAA: Bradenton/Sarasota: $2.98 Daytona Beach: $3.04 Fort Myers: $3.01 Gainesville: $3.12 Jacksonville: $3.02 Lakeland: $3.07 Naples: $3.12 Orlando: $3.05 Panama City: $2.87 Pensacola: $2.88 Port St. Lucie: $3.04 Space Coast: $3 Tallahassee: $2.98 Tampa/St. Pete: $3.06 Villages: $3.07 Average: The average price for a gallon of gas across the country on Monday, Aug. 11, according to AAA, is $3.13, a two-cent decrease from last week. ▪ Patrick De Haan, head of petroleum analysis at GasBuddy: 'After rising for two straight weeks, the national average price of gasoline saw a slight decline in the last week as oil prices fell below $64 per barrel, paving the way for prices to ease in most states. Price-cycling markets again saw the largest weekly swings, with Florida and Michigan cycling upward, while Indiana and Ohio experienced sharp declines but may be due for jumps this week. As we approach the peak of hurricane season, forecasts are showing favorable conditions for tropical development, so we'll be watching closely for any potential impact on supply and prices as Labor Day nears.' There's an app to help: The GasBuddy app was built to show motorists prices around them and a fuel tracker can update users on stations that have or don't have fuel based on supply changes.
