Recent Developments:

• Recall Notice: Tesla is recalling nearly 700,000 vehicles, including certain 2024 Cybertruck models, due to an issue with the tire pressure monitoring system (TPMS). The TPMS warning light may not remain illuminated between drive cycles, potentially failing to alert drivers of low tire pressure, which can increase the risk of a crash. Tesla will provide a free software update to resolve the issue, with owner notifications expected by February 15, 2025.

• Market Performance: Reports indicate that Tesla’s growth in deliveries for 2024 heavily relies on the success of the Cybertruck. However, there are signs of weak demand, with factors such as high prices (ranging from $75,000 to $100,000) and its polarizing design potentially deterring some buyers. Analysts have noted dropped Cybertruck registrations and increasing days on the market as indicators of softening demand.
