There is no stock that better-exemplified the bull market of the past decade, and especially the covid bull market. It traded at a split-adjusted $23.37 in March of 2020 and rose as high as $414.50.

The idea of full-self driving is still sci-fi and likely won't happen any time soon. That will leave Tesla to compete on price and supply chains with major automotive manufacturers, who are slowly closing the driver-assistance gap on Tesla. Meanwhile, Musk is divided as the CEO of three companies and his public image is taking a battering.
What's scary here though are the technicals. The break of $179 -- especially on a daily/weekly close -- is a big problem.
Dennis Gartman liked to say that when a war is lost, they shoot all the generals. It's a metaphor about bull markets ending.
