TSLA

Gary Black of Future Fund highlighted Tesla's minimal ad spend compared to its significant price cuts in 2023, suggesting advertising as a solution to Tesla's declining sales. Tesla, traditionally relying on a direct-sales model, has started advertising on platforms like X, YouTube, Facebook, and Instagram. Despite these efforts, Tesla reported its first year-over-year decline in quarterly deliveries since Q2 2022. Black advocates for a better balance between price cuts and advertising to improve sales, especially as Tesla faces a shrinking auto margin and a slow recovery in EV adoption.
