Tesla Drops 6% Amid EV Subsidy Freeze in Canada

Tesla (TSLA.US) shares are down nearly 6% today, contributing to the broader 1.6% sell-off on the Nasdaq. Alongside Nvidia, they are among the weakest performers on the U.S. stock market.
- Tesla’s stock dips today after Canada froze $43 million in electric vehicle subsidies for the company and excluded it from future rebate programs. This retaliatory move was a direct response to tariffs imposed by President Trump on Canadian goods.
- The decline ends Tesla’s recent momentum, which had driven the stock up for five consecutive sessions and led to a brief breakout above the 200-day moving average yesterday. Investors are also cautious ahead of Trump’s expected announcement on new car import tariffs, which could significantly impact supply chains and profitability across the auto industry.
- Tesla recently warned regulators that escalating trade tensions could increase production costs and hurt its competitiveness in international markets.

With the business slowing down, price-to-earnings ratios and forward 12-month P/E multiples exceed 100, and investors — despite recent declines — are still paying a significant premium for shares in Elon Musk’s company. Recently, Tesla also announced it is seeking regulatory approval in China to sell its autonomous driving software.
