Tesla's stock is currently trading at $300.70, down 5.34% from the previous close. In the second quarter of 2025, analysts expect Tesla to deliver about 377,000 vehicles, slightly below the consensus of 390,000.

This episode unpacks the high-stakes balancing act, with real numbers to back it up.

This is going to be a very ala carte experience of financial ideas I have had and use. Again, this is not financial advise, but thought provoking ideas I have had while trying to answer the worlds hard questions.
