Endorsement Turns to More Drama: Will Protests Drive Tesla Below $200?
A movement against $Tesla Motors(TSLA)$ will take place on March 29 at 277 Tesla showrooms and Supercharger stations across the US. Initially targeting Musk's political activity, especially his close relationship with Trump and his role in "Department of Government Efficiency," the protests have turned violent.
Tesla stores have been shot at, cars burned, and Supercharger stations and owners' vehicles damaged. President Trump called these actions "domestic terrorism," and Attorney General Pam Bondi vowed to bring those responsible to justice.
The bulls' impact is so limited now?
The only notable Tesla bulls being Trump and his administration. U.S. Secretary of Commerce Howard Lutnick publicly urged people to "buy Tesla" stock during a television interview on Wednesday.
However, the bull seems to be causing more negative impact, making the public in the US and Europe dislike Tesla and Musk even more.
Record numbers of Tesla owners switching to other brands. Edmunds reports that after a peak in November 2022, Tesla’s new model purchases have significantly declined to the lowest levels since October 2022.
Scandal Everywhere: Hedge Funds Remain Cautious?
Since Trump’s election win in November 2022, hedge funds shorting Tesla have faced huge losses, totaling over $5 billion.
Short positions have dropped to 2.5% of Tesla’s public shares, far below the historical average of 23%. Kerry Goh of Kamet Capital Partners warns that shorting Tesla is risky due to its unpredictable price volatility.

As for Tesla’s stock, I do think the political drama and shifting consumer sentiment are adding downward pressure. If the trend of owners switching brands continues and demand weakens further, a drop to $200 isn’t out of the question. That said, Tesla’s stock has always been volatile, and with such a dedicated retail investor base, it’s tough to predict a clear bottom.
Given the current uncertainty, I’d remain cautious and closely monitor how these events impact Tesla’s fundamentals before making any major moves.

空头头寸已降至特斯拉公众股的2.5%，远低于23%的历史平均水平。Kamet Capital Partners的Kerry Goh警告称，由于其不可预测的价格波动，做空特斯拉存在风险。
現在多頭的影響就這麼有限？
唯一值得注意的特斯拉多頭是川普和他的政府。美國商務部長Howard Lutnick週三在接受電視採訪時公開敦促人們“購買特斯拉”股票。
然而，牛市似乎正在造成更多負面影響，讓美國和歐洲的公衆更加不喜歡特斯拉和馬斯克。
轉向其他品牌的特斯拉車主數量創歷史新高。Edmunds報告稱，在2022年11月達到峯值後，特斯拉的新車型購買量已大幅下降至2022年10月以來的最低水平。
