Tesla shares slide amid market sell-off on recession worries, tariff uncertainty

Published On Mar 10, 2025, 5:45 PM

Tesla shares plummeted by 15.4% amid broad market sell-off driven by recession fears and uncertainties related to tariff policies. The company’s stock has dropped over 41% year-to-date, losing more than half its market cap since its all-time high in December 2024. Concerns arose following UBS's downgrade in Tesla's delivery forecasts and a general downturn in the electric vehicle industry. The auto sector is also facing headwinds due to the current administration's lack of support for EV incentives, which previously aided Tesla and other competitors.
