Tesla’s highly anticipated Robotaxi Day failed to impress, triggering a 9% drop in share price to $217.80 on Friday. With the stock already down 12% this year and 17% over the past 12 months, investor confidence seems shaken. Expectations were high, but Tesla’s announcements left many questions unanswered.

Liquidity Injection: A Temporary Fix 💸🛠
