The trend is bad. I did some Google searching but can't find any quality public response from Tesla, which is concerning (if you're a TSLA holder). Still, I suspect Elon being this close to Trump will guarantee at least another round of pumping (subsidized cars, anyone?) before the end.
Tesla is doomed in the AU market because Chinese competitors offer unbelievably better value for money as imported cars. The price to quality ratio is just so outrageously in favour of BYD, Geely, etc. that there's just no way Tesla is sustainable down under.
I just saw this clip yesterday, how far ahead of Tesla they are is ridiculous:

Yep, Tesla's early agility and willingness to try outrageous things with the tech in the vehicle is what set them apart but they started a trend that China has gone running with. Now they aren't keeping up on any front and are way more expensive. Not to parrot the typical sceptic too much but I definitely think Tesla is massively overvalued and once people start seeing it as a traditional automotive stock in a market of very capable competitors, the correction will be devastating.
Oh absolutely, Tesla has been overvalued for ages, and their Quality Control is trash. I hear they can't even build with consistent tolerances between panels.
