Portfolio Pulse from Shanthi Rexaline
Tesla, Inc. (NASDAQ:TSLA) continues to dominate the American electric vehicle (EV) market, leaving competitors struggling to keep pace. In the first half of 2023, Tesla sold 325,291 EVs in the U.S., outpacing General Motors (NYSE:GM) and Ford Motor Co. (NYSE:F) who sold 34,943 and 26,849 EVs respectively. Despite Tesla's dominance, the EV industry faces challenges such as economic conditions, reluctance to electrify, and skepticism about range, self-driving capabilities, and charging infrastructure. Tesla's price cuts have also started a price war, potentially harming startups.
