Tesla Stocks Down, US Market Share Up: What Is Going On?

Tesla shares were down sharply in the U.S., and the selloff brought renewed attention to lingering questions around the company’s Robotaxi ambitions. The article says Tesla had fallen to $320 by the close on Thursday, its lowest level since last August, after trading around the high 300s for a period and having been off its December 2025 peak of $498. It attributes the move to commentary following Tesla’s Q2 earnings, including figures cited by the piece about 22,000 unsold vehicles year-to-date and more than 200 crashes tied to driver-assistance technology. CEO Elon Musk also discussed Robotaxi progress, mentioning scaling in Florida, Texas, and the Bay Area and claiming more than 10% weekly growth in miles driven, while warning about preventing accidents or harm. The piece places the stock reaction in the context of prior Robotaxi rollout promises and the time elapsed since end-2025.
