Part 2/14:
Tesla, once heralded as a symbol of American innovation in electric vehicles, now exhibits signs of strain. Although its stock prices may not fully reflect the difficulties, the company's sales figures reveal a slowdown, partly due to intensifying competition from other automakers and internal flaws. Elon Musk, the company's charismatic leader, has become more subdued, especially after his recent removal as co-president, leading to speculation about his current engagement and strategic focus. The decrease in public visibility and influence raises questions about Tesla's future trajectory and whether it can sustain its pioneering position.
