Tesla, once the undisputed leader of the electric vehicle (EV) revolution, is facing a storm of challenges that could reshape its future. In this episode, we take a closer look at the headwinds threatening Tesla’s dominance and explore whether the company can navigate these obstacles to maintain its edge.

Key topics we’ll cover:

• The EV Tax Credit Debate: What happens if the $7,500 federal EV tax credit is repealed? While Elon Musk claims it "will only help Tesla," we analyze how its removal could impact not just Tesla but the entire EV market.
• Rising Competition: Legacy automakers like Cadillac (Lyriq), Hyundai (Ioniq 5), and Kia (EV9) are aggressively targeting Tesla’s market share, which has already dropped below 50%. How will Tesla respond to this growing competition?
• Brand Reputation Under Fire: From Elon Musk’s controversial public behavior to skepticism about Tesla’s product promises, we examine how these factors are eroding Tesla’s brand value and customer trust.
• The Tech Transition Challenge: As Tesla strives to evolve from an automaker into a technology powerhouse, we assess the progress—and pitfalls—of its Full Self-Driving (FSD) software. Is Musk’s vision of a fully autonomous "Cybercab" realistic, or is it overhyped?

We’ll also break down the critical metrics to watch in Tesla’s upcoming earnings report and discuss whether the company can sustain profitability in an increasingly crowded and competitive EV landscape.
