## Elevator Pitch

- My “Strong Buy” rating on Tesla, Inc. has outperformed the S&P 500 Index by +78.45%, but recent developments prompt a re-evaluation of bullish views.
- A slower pace of rate cuts implied by the Fed's latest Dot Plot can pose a heavier penalty on long-duration growth stocks such as TSLA.
- Tesla has started to cut prices again on the Model 3 in the US. Further pricing cuts to combat volume pressures arising from buyer affordability challenges are a key risk.
- TSLA stock is 75% pricier now than it was in early Nov '24\. The recent rally is driven almost exclusively by a re-rating hype at flattish earnings expectations.
- Technicals relative to the S&P 500 have reached a key zone of resistance and shown an initial rejection, thus curbing the chances of continued upside.
