Tesla Stock Plummets 21.54% in Four Days, Second-Highest Trading Volume

On April 8, 2025, Tesla (TSLA) experienced a significant decline, dropping 4.90% and marking its fourth consecutive day of losses, with a total decrease of 21.54% over the past four days. The trading volume for the day was substantial, reaching 398.59 billion, making it the second-highest in the market for that day.

Tesla's stock has been under pressure due to recent tariffs imposed by the U.S. and China, which have rattled the markets and contributed to a nearly 7% slide in the stock last week. The company, described by Elon Musk as "the most vertically integrated auto manufacturer in America," is facing challenges that go beyond market volatility.

In China, the situation appears to be worsening for Tesla. The company reported its first-ever annual sales decline in 2024, which has led to a more than 29% drop in its stock year-to-date. This decline is part of a broader trend of challenges that Tesla is currently facing, including regulatory hurdles and market competition.

Additionally, the company is dealing with the fallout from Elon Musk's controversial statements and actions, which have added to the uncertainty surrounding Tesla's future. The combination of these factors has created a challenging environment for Tesla, as it navigates through a period of significant market turbulence.
