Part 5/12:
In the immediate pre-market and opening minutes of trading following the announcement, Tesla’s stock showed only modest movement. The stock gained about 13 points, roughly 4.22%, but remained well below recent highs, indicating muted market enthusiasm. This subdued reaction can be attributed to several factors:
The launch, while significant, lacked any surprising elements—everyone knew it was coming.
Broader macroeconomic pressures and market uncertainty diminished any exuberance.
Investors may have been awaiting more concrete evidence of scale and operational performance.
This cautious stance contrasts with the overwhelming enthusiasm seen in earlier Tesla product releases and highlights a maturing market that is now focused on long-term fundamentals rather than hype.
