Tesla Bull Recommends A 'Great Deal' For Elon Musk's EV Giant As It Grapples With Slowing Sales Growth
Portfolio Pulse from Shanthi Rexaline
Gary Black, a Tesla bull and Future Fund's Managing Partner, suggests Tesla Inc. (TSLA) should invest in advertising to boost its volume growth, which has slowed due to higher interest rates and ineffective price cuts. Black proposes a $100M ad spend instead of $1B in price cuts, leveraging celebrities for free promotion of the Cybertruck while advertising other products to expand Tesla's market. Tesla's stock has fallen over 31% year-to-date, with no expected reprieve until a sub-$30,000 vehicle launch. Future Fund ETF (FFND) has recently reduced its Tesla holdings.
