Tesla's Rocky Week: Stock Struggles Amid Slumping China Sales

Tesla (TSLA) has faced a turbulent week, with shares on track for a weekly decline of nearly 9%, as reported by Yahoo Finance. The downturn follows concerning news from China, where deliveries dipped significantly. According to IndexBox data, Tesla's sales in China dropped by 11.5% year-over-year this January, starkly contrasting with Chinese competitor BYD's 47% sales surge.

Further details from the China Passenger Car Association indicated a 32.6% decrease in deliveries of the locally produced Model 3 and Model Y since December. Despite efforts to reignite interest, including a 0% interest plan throughout January, Tesla's challenges persist. This follows an earlier strategy of price cuts designed to buoy its performance in China and other key markets.

Adding to the complexity, European sales figures echoed these struggles, with Tesla's registrations in Germany descending to their lowest since 2021. The trend mirrors a broader European slump, raising questions about whether CEO Elon Musk's political engagements are deterring potential buyers.

Yet, despite the year-to-date slump, Tesla's stock maintains a notable 45% rise since November 5, marking a significant investor pivot around the US presidential election, fueled partly by Musk's perceived political connections.

On the regulatory front, a surprise came from the Department of Transportation's announcement to halt federal funding for EV charger infrastructure pending a policy review—a move affecting various EV charging stocks including ChargePoint (CHPT), Blink (BLNK), and EVgo (EVGO), as they saw declines over 7%. Tesla, having reportedly secured $31 million from these federal programs, faces additional hurdles as the charging network remains pivotal for broad EV adoption.
