Trainer did not shy away from bringing into notice the recent Tesla stock split that could further add to the problem and could even prove dangerous to new investors getting into the stock.

Tesla doesn’t rank in the top 10 in market share or car sales in Europe for EVs and that’s because the laws changed in Europe that have strongly incentivized the incumbent manufacturers to crank up hybrids and electric vehicles. The same is coming in the United States.
