Tesla stock dropped 3.17% to $423.61 in pre-market trading, driven by broader market weakness stemming from new tariff threats and specific company headwinds including a recent delivery miss.
- The decline reflects a broader market risk-off sentiment triggered by President Trump's tariff threats against eight European nations.
- Sector-specific pressure follows the Q4 2025 delivery miss, where 418,227 vehicles were delivered versus the expected 426,000, marking the second consecutive annual delivery decline.
- Investors are also factoring in potential margin pressure from earlier price cuts ahead of the Q4 earnings report scheduled for January 28, 2026.
