Why Did Tesla Stock Fall Today?
Tesla’s robotaxi rollout left pricing and production questions unanswered, while federal regulators opened a safety audit into the Cybercab.

- Held Thursday in Austin, Texas, the invitation-only event lacked a public livestream and featured no appearance by CEO Elon Musk, leaving investors without details on production or pricing.

- While Tesla has authorized 45 Cybercabs for driverless operations in Texas, the service faces early execution issues as the company attempts to scale its fleet beyond these initial units.
