Tesla, the electric vehicle giant, is currently grappling with a major hurdle as its profits nosedive by 71% amidst a backlash over CEO Elon Musk’s political affiliations and backing of contentious personalities. The company is facing a tough time in the European market, with a noticeable drop in sales leading to protests and tarnishing of its brand image. Despite stiff competition from rivals like BYD, Musk is determined to steer Tesla back on track by shifting focus towards promising advancements in autonomous driving technology and giving more priority to the overall growth of the company.
