TSLA, XPEV, or NIO: Which EV Stock Is the Best Pick, According to Analysts?
Macro pressures, tariff woes, and geopolitical concerns are dampening consumer appetite for big-ticket discretionary items like electric vehicles. The EV sector faces mounting competition, yet some players continue to thrive through execution and innovation. Tesla (TSLA), XPeng (XPEV), and Nio (NIO) remain under Wall Street's microscope as analysts weigh their prospects.
Tesla's stock dipped following reports of production halts for Cybertruck and Model Y lines—the third such pause in 2025. Year-to-date, TSLA has shed 20% amid lackluster Q1 performance, innovation stagnation, and fallout from CEO Elon Musk's political engagements. The upcoming robotaxi unveiling in Austin offers a potential catalyst, but skepticism lingers.
