Tesla and its CEO, Elon Musk, are facing challenges including a feud with President Trump, slumping sales, and a 34% drop in share price from record highs. Despite these difficulties, Tesla's UK sales surged in June, although still down by 2% year-to-date. Meanwhile, Chinese competitor BYD's sales soared by almost four times. The growth in the sector hinges on enhanced charging infrastructure, as highlighted by Deloitte's automotive partner. Additionally, the US-UK trade deal, reducing tariffs on British car exports to the U.S., took effect recently. Investment firm Azoria Partners postponed the listing of its Azoria Tesla Convexi ETF after Musk revealed plans to establish a new political party in the U.S., weakening shareholders' confidence in Tesla's future.
