Part 3/11:
Tesla's stock was up about 3% pre-market, indicating some optimism, but overall market sentiment today remains hesitant. Major indices like the NASDAQ 100 and S&P 500 are down approximately 2%, reflecting broader fears and uncertainties affecting the tech sector, including EV stocks. Notably, other electric vehicle stocks such as NIO, Rivian, and Lucid are down sharply—NIO by nearly 5%, Rivian and Lucid both around 2%. This decline suggests that investors may be worried about Musk's potential reduced involvement in Tesla or fears of a resurgence of competition.
