Cabs are stuck with FSD safety issues,” the investor said in the post.

Notably, Tesla launched the three-row Model Y L trim in the U.S. on Thursday at $61,990.

Tesla is also under legal and federal scrutiny as both the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) and the National Transportation Safety Board (NTSB) announced probes into a fatal accident in Texas involving a Tesla Model 3.

Market had a negative reaction to good Tesla sales numbers.

Gas prices are back to normal, for Tesla that also means less demand moving foreward.

They make just 3 models and one is the non-selling cybertruck.

Cabs are stuck with FSD safety issues. $TSLA — Ross Gerber (@GerberKawasaki) July 2, 2026 Gary Black, Gene Munster Weigh in on Tesla’s Decline Investor Gary Black of The Future Fund LLC offered an insight into the EV giant’s stock decline, saying that the company’s FSD technology had a negligible impact on its sales, despite what bullish supporters may think.

The investor said that the heightened sales came amid surging gas prices due to the Iran war.

Gene Munster of Deepwater Asset Management also shared his take on the deliveries and the stock decline, saying that the sell-off was triggered by reasons like high gas prices driving demand as well as the end of Musk’s involvement with the Department of Government Efficiency.

According to Edge Rankings, Tesla offers satisfactory Momentum and Quality, but provides a favorable price trend in the short, medium, and long term.
