- 1 Tesla stock price (TSLA) gained 7.82% intraday.
- 2 The rise is attributed to a growing Chinese market and price cuts.
Tesla stock price gained after the China Merchant Bank International reported that the EV maker might deliver a strong quarter in the EV market. The car insurance registration data disclosed by the bank showed 106,915 new Tesla vehicles were registered in China from January to mid-March. China is a critical market for Tesla and EVs in general, and Tesla’s performance in China often makes for the difference in whether it has a profitable quarter.
U.S Government and Tesla CEO
When Elon Musk, CEO of Tesla, announced price-cuts for Tesla vehicles, many took it as a sign of debacle and predicted the automaker’s fall. The strategic price cuts boosted Tesla sales driving its market share in Europe and across the globe. European Union registrations of Tesla cars rose to 19,249 in February, as per European Automobile Manufacturers Association. In recent months, battery-electric vehicle (BEV) sales have amounted to roughly 20% of all new cars sold in China and almost 6% in the U.S. in 2022.
Apart from this, the Biden administration is promoting sustainable tech-growth and adoption of EVs by the citizens. Biden established national monuments in Nevada and Texas and a marine sanctuary in U.S. waters. In the past, many emission-reduction pledges and a sweeping spending bill were introduced.
These proposals reward American households and businesses for switching to EVs and replacing oil and gas powered operations with solar, wind and other greener options. Amid this push to sustainable energy, Tesla can capture a broader market and establish a pseudo-monopoly in the EV segment. Recently, Tesla finally rolled-out the Full Self-Driving Beta v11. It is a significant update that has Autopilot with the Full Self-Driving Beta Software stack.
