A drop related to the fall in vehicle sales ( – 13 %), prices and an increase in stocks. The image of Elon Musk, support of Donald Trump, engaged with him at the White House, turned against the brand. Since the beginning of the year, the Tesla action has been back by around 20 %. Friday 1is August, second bad news: a Miami (Florida) court recognized Tesla as being partially responsible for a fatal accident involving a model with the “automatic piloting” option. The manufacturer said they wanted to appeal.
