BTCCSquare news:
Tesla shares fell 4.3% as European sales data revealed a 37% year-over-year decline in August, while Chinese rival BYD tripled its sales during the same period. The EV maker's stock had surged 25% in the prior month, driven by Elon Musk's emphasis on robotics and autonomous driving technologies.
Investors appear to be taking profits as Tesla cedes market share in Europe, where BYD has now outsold it for two consecutive months. The company's year-to-date European sales have dropped 33%, contrasting sharply with BYD's 280% growth.
Musk continues to pivot attention toward Tesla's futuristic initiatives, including robotaxis and AI development. However, the immediate reality of weakening EV demand in key markets is testing investor patience.
