Key Points Down 4.2% — Tesla shares fell about 4.2% to roughly $419 on Tuesday amid a broad tech selloff and elevated intraday volatility, with trading volume slightly below average as investors brace for earnings. Positive catalysts include a revived Dojo3 AI roadmap and Canada’s relaxed tariffs on China‑built EVs, while firms like Piper Sandler and RBC continue to provide institutional support for the long‑term AI/robotaxi thesis. Key risks: a very high P/E (~279), mixed analyst ratings (average price target ~$410.20), recent insider selling and concerns about FSD monetization/licensing leave little room for disappointment ahead of upcoming results.
