Why It Matters: Quantum computers, leveraging qubits, offer the potential to revolutionize computing by exponentially accelerating complex calculations.
Google&#8217;s recent Willow chip, showcasing advancements in quantum memory, achieved a benchmark computation in minutes that would take a supercomputer 10 septillion years. Despite this progress, high error rates remain a significant hurdle, hindering widespread commercial adoption and creating uncertainty around the timeline for practical applications.
According to Jon Najarian, the co-founder of Market Rebellion, Rigetti is a standout in the quantum computing space.

Chinese government bond yields dropped below 2% for the first time ever, highlighting <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/asia/24/12/42456825/china-might-be-pivoting-to-moderately-loose-monetary-policy-but-experts-feel-bazooka-style-stimulus-wont-arrive-immediately">deepening concerns about deflation</a> in the world&#8217;s second-largest economy as the U.S. dollar reaches new highs amid diverging economic trajectories.
What Happened: The yield on China&#8217;s benchmark 10-year bond fell 1.5 basis points to 1.598%, while the 30-year yield declined 2.9 basis points to 1.819%. The People&#8217;s Bank of China is reportedly considering interest rate cuts this year, according <a href="https://www.ft.com/content/794577b2-6bdd-4a03-bfab-19463543048a">to</a> the Financial Times, as policymakers grapple with persistent deflationary pressures.
Since President-elect Donald Trump&#8216;s election victory, market dynamics have shifted significantly. The U.S. Dollar Index has surged to 109.4, its highest level since October 2022, gaining 5.54% since Nov. 5. The strengthening dollar reflects expectations of prolonged higher U.S. rates and Trump&#8217;s proposed growth-focused policies.
The yuan has weakened to 7.30 against the dollar, down 2.82% since early November, adding to Beijing&#8217;s economic challenges. Chinese stocks continued their downward trend, with the CSI 300 index falling 0.18% on Friday, even as other Asian markets gained ground.

Why It Matters: The deflationary pressure in China has <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/equities/24/10/41182930/china-was-tipping-into-a-japan-style-lost-decade-of-deflation-and-stagnation-before-late-septemb">become particularly acute</a>, with <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/government/regulations/25/01/42767647/chinese-stocks-drop-as-manufacturing-growth-slows-and-geopolitical-tensions-hit">producer prices declining</a> for 26 consecutive months, dropping 2.5% year-over-year in November. This has created a challenging environment for manufacturers, forcing many to cut prices amid overcapacity and weak demand.
U.S. markets have also started 2025 on a cautious note, with the Dow Jones Industrial Average down 0.36% to 42,392.27, the S&amp;P 500 falling 0.22% to 5,868.55, and the Nasdaq Composite declining 0.16% to 19,280.79.
Japan&#8217;s 10-year government bond yield edged up to 1.09%, near its 13.5-year high of 1.11%, reflecting the country&#8217;s ongoing battle with inflation – a stark contrast to China&#8217;s deflationary struggles.

Elon Musk's X Post Sends Adult-Themed Crypto Shooting Up 175%

While 2024 witnessed Tesla Inc.&#8217;s (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/TSLA#NASDAQ">TSLA</a>) vehicle deliveries fall year-on-year for the first time, its energy storage deployments hit new highs.
What Happened: The EV company said on Thursday that it deployed 31.4 GWh of energy storage products in 2024, up from 14.7 GWh in 2023 and marking a growth of 114% year over year.
Tesla&#8217;s energy storage deployments have been steadily rising for the past five years. In 2019, the company deployed only 1.7 GWh of energy storage.

However, Tesla also reported its <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/trading-ideas/movers/25/01/42766117/tesla-stock-tumbles-on-q4-deliveries-whats-going-on">first fall in annual vehicle deliveries</a> on Thursday. The company delivered 1,789,226 vehicles in 2024, 1.1% less than the 1,808,581 deliveries reported for 2023. 
Why It Matters: Tesla manufactures two energy storage products –&nbsp;<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/24/08/40478134/tesla-breaks-powerwall-production-record-at-giga-nevada-as-it-aims-to-ramp-up-energy-storage-deploym" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">the Powerwall&nbsp;</a>and the<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/24/11/41737630/tesla-makes-10-000th-megapack-at-california-as-energy-segment-booms" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener"> Megapack</a>. While the powerwall is a compact home battery that stores energy generated by solar or from the grid, each Megapack unit can store over 3.9 MWh of energy.
Tesla currently operates a Megafactory in Lathrop, California, capable of making 10,000 Megapack units in a year. The company is also putting up a Megafactory in Shanghai which it expects to start shipping Megapacks in the first quarter of 2025.

This growth was driven by Chinese tech giants like Huawei Technologies, challenging established players such as Apple. Samsung ranked fourth globally with 11.5 million units shipped, securing an 8.3% market share.

It's not news that crazy things happen in the cryptocurrency space. But if someone told you a coin named Fartcoin (FARTCOIN) would run into a billion-dollar valuation and hit new highs every week, you might still scratch your head, trying to make sense of it all.
What happened: The Solana (CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/sol/usd">SOL</a>)-based coin, having the most frivolous of names, soared 21% to become the market's third-best-performing cryptocurrency in the last 24 hours.
The coin hit an all-time high of $1.45 on Thursday before a slight correction. At its peak, FARTCOIN was worth more than Nasdaq-listed Papa John&#8217;s International Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/PZZA#NASDAQ">PZZA</a>).
It boasted a market capitalization of $1.32 billion at the time of writing, with trading volumes jumping 228% in the last 24 hours.
FARTCOIN outshone mainstream cryptocurrencies like Bitcoin (CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/btc/usd">BTC</a>) and Ethereum (CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/eth/usd">ETH</a>), which gained just 2.19% and 2.32%, respectively.

Fart Coin Goes From Giggles To Gains As Meme Coin Hit New Highs, Equals Papa John's Valuation

Chinese EV giant BYD Co Ltd (OTC:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/BYDDY#OTC">BYDDY</a>) (OTC:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/BYDDF#OTC">BYDDF</a>) overtook Tesla Inc (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/TSLA#NASDAQ">TSLA</a>) yet again as the world&#8217;s biggest battery electric vehicle (BEV) seller in the fourth quarter of 2024. 
What Happened: Tesla reported on Thursday that it delivered <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/trading-ideas/movers/25/01/42766117/tesla-stock-tumbles-on-q4-deliveries-whats-going-on">495,570 BEVs in the three months</a> through the end of December, significantly lower than the 595,413 BEVs <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/01/42758760/tesla-rival-byd-marks-50-growth-in-december-passenger-vehicle-sales-likely-to-trump-tesla-in-q4-bev-sales-yet-again">sold by BYD</a> in the period.
Though BYD managed to trump Tesla in the fourth quarter, the American EV giant delivered 1,789,226 BEVs through 2024, retaining its position as the bestselling pure EV brand for the year. BYD, meanwhile, managed to deliver only 1,764,992 BEVs in the twelve months, or 24,234 units less than Tesla. 
Why It Matters: BYD first took over Tesla as the world&#8217;s largest BEV seller in the last quarter of 2023. Tesla took back the title in the first quarter of 2024 and <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/24/12/42680542/tesla-or-byd-which-ev-giant-will-sell-more-battery-electric-vehicles-in-q4">retained it for three consecutive quarters</a>. 
2024 marks the first year that Tesla&#8217;s annual deliveries have fallen (1.1%) as compared to the previous year. In 2023, Tesla delivered 1,808,581 vehicles around the globe. To mark a growth over last year, the company had to deliver at least 514,926 vehicles in the three months through the end of December.&nbsp;However, the company could not even breach the 500,000 target. 
BYD&#8217;s 2024 BEV sales, meanwhile, marked a growth of 12% year-on-year, according to a previous report.

Tesla Overtaken by BYD Again: Chinese Player Becomes World's Biggest EV Seller In Q4

Apple Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AAPL#NASDAQ">AAPL</a>) has agreed to pay $95 million to settle a lawsuit alleging its Siri voice assistant recorded users&#8217; private conversations without consent, according to court documents filed Tuesday at the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of California.
What Happened: The preliminary settlement could benefit millions of U.S. consumers who owned Apple devices between September 2014 and December 2024, Reuters reported. 
Eligible users can receive up to $20 per Siri-enabled device, with a limit of five claims per person. Approved claimants should receive payments within 60 days of filing.
The lawsuit stemmed from user complaints that Siri would accidentally activate and record private conversations, which allegedly resulted in targeted advertising. Users claimed Apple shared these recordings with third-party companies, though Apple has denied these privacy violation allegations.

Why It Matters: As part of the settlement, Apple must delete any unauthorized <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/23/12/36270839/apple-settles-family-sharing-class-action-lawsuit-for-25m-heres-how-you-can-claim-your-share">recordings made before</a> October 2019 within six months of the agreement&#8217;s effective date. The company will also revise its user guidance about the &#8220;Improve Siri&#8221; option to clarify what information may be stored.
In late 2023, Google settled a similar lawsuit for $700 million over unauthorized <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/23/12/36296656/google-agrees-to-700m-settlement-in-antitrust-case-promises-play-store-policy-revisions">recordings by its voice assistant</a>.
The court has scheduled the next hearing for Feb. 14 in Oakland to finalize the settlement terms. 
Price Action: Apple&#8217;s stock closed at $243.85 on Thursday, down 2.62% for the day. In after-hours trading, the stock rose 0.057%. Over the past year, Apple has seen a significant increase, rising by 31.36%, according to <a href="https://pro.benzinga.com/dashboard">data from Benzinga Pro</a>.

Apple Settles $95 Million Lawsuit Over Siri Privacy Violations: Here's The Amount Affected Users Will Receive

Bettors on the cryptocurrency-based prediction market Polymarket eyed a strong possibility that a new country would switch to the "Bitcoin (CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/btc/usd">BTC</a>) Standard" this year.
What happened: A new contract titled, "Will a new country buy Bitcoin in 2025?" went live on the Polygon (CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/">POL</a>)-based platform on New Year's Day, with odds in favor jumping past 75% as of this writing.
As per rules, the market will resolve to "Yes" if any sovereign U.N. member buys the apex cryptocurrency for the first time before Dec. 31. As of this writing, over $40,000 has been wagered on this bet.
Polymarket's official X handle posted the contract with the caption, "Who will follow in Nayib Bukele's footsteps?" referring to the <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/cryptocurrency/24/12/42740881/can-bitcoin-as-legal-tender-reshape-a-nations-economy-lessons-from-el-salvador">pioneering Bitcoin embrace </a>of El Salvador.

Why It Matters: El Salvador was indeed the first country to buy Bitcoin as a treasury reserve asset back in 2021, in what was seen as an audacious move with regards to fiscal policy. The country has adopted a plan <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/cryptocurrency/24/03/37763988/pro-bitcoin-president-nayib-bukele-says-el-salvador-will-purchase-btc-daily-until-king-cry">to buy one Bitcoin every day</a>, until it becomes unaffordable with fiat currencies.
The Central American nation currently sits on a stockpile of 6,005 BTCs, worth nearly $582 million.&nbsp;
The list is dominated by bigger countries like the U.S., China, and the UK, although none of them treat Bitcoin as a strategic reserve asset.
As for the U.S., expectations have run high after Donald Trump's victory, who pledged to establish a <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/cryptocurrency/24/12/42720168/will-trump-administration-sell-gold-to-buy-bitcoin-for-strategic-reserve-in-2025-analyst-s">national Bitcoin stockpile</a> during the election campaign.

Bitcoin Adoption By Another Nation? Polymarket Shows 75% Odds Of New Country Following El Salvador's Path In 2025

Mexican authorities have imposed a 19% tariff on goods imported via courier from China, affecting popular online retailers Shein and PDD Holdings Inc.'s (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/PDD#NASDAQ">PDD</a>) Temu, <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/analyst-ratings/analyst-color/24/07/39708215/amazon-vs-temu-shein-tiktok-shop-whos-winning-the-us-e-commerce-battle">rivals to</a> Amazon.com, Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AMZN#NASDAQ">AMZN</a>).
What Happened: This tariff, effective Wednesday, targets countries without relevant international treaties with Mexico, <a href="https://asia.nikkei.com/Economy/Trade-war/Temu-and-Shein-face-fallout-from-Mexico-s-new-tariff">reported</a> Nikkei Asia.
For imports from the U.S. and Canada, which are part of the U.S.-Mexico-Canada Agreement or USMCA, a 17% tariff will apply to goods priced between $50 and $117.
Previously, such small package imports were not subject to tariffs, according to Mexico&#8217;s Tax Administration Service.

With inflation in Mexico above 4%, Chinese retailers have gained traction by offering low-cost products, partly due to reduced shipping and handling expenses.
Temu and Shein have expanded by selling Chinese-made items in markets with higher prices, leveraging de minimis exemptions that waive tariffs for packages below certain values, the report noted.
Why It Matters: The new tariff may signal a message to President-elect Donald Trump, who has criticized Mexico&#8217;s openness to Chinese imports.
Following Trump&#8217;s election, Mexico, under President Claudia Sheinbaum, has taken stricter measures against Chinese goods, including raids on suspected illegal imports.
Last year, Trump announced plans to impose a 25% tariff on all products from Mexico and Canada, <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/24/11/42178994/trump-says-he-will-impose-25-tariffs-on-canada-mexico-on-first-day-of-office-and-extra-tariffs-on-china-until-they-pay-attention">citing concerns over</a> border security and illegal immigration. He also plans to increase tariffs on Chinese imports by 10% to address the flow of fentanyl into the U.S.
Economists have warned that Trump&#8217;s proposed tariffs could <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/personal-finance/24/12/42367505/economists-warn-trumps-tariffs-on-canada-mexico-and-china-could-hurt-your-budget-more-than-help-it">lead to higher costs</a> for American households, particularly on essential items like groceries, housing, and cars.

Amazon's Chinese Rivals Temu And Shein Got Hit Hard By Tariffs In This Country, Is It A Sign Of Things To Come Under Trump?

Tesla Inc (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/TSLA#NASDAQ">TSLA</a>) CEO Elon Musk said on Thursday that the company will put the Cybertruck that was involved in an <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/general/entertainment/25/01/42757028/tesla-cybertruck-ignites-outside-trump-international-hotel-in-las-vegas">explosion outside the Trump International Hotel </a>on New Year's Day back on the road after repairs.
What Happened: &#8220;Once we get this Cybertruck back to Tesla, we'll buff out the scratches and get it back on the road,&#8221; Musk said in a post on social media platform X while adding that neither the vehicle battery pack nor its tires were damaged as a result of the explosion.

On Wednesday morning, a Tesla Cybertruck exploded outside the Trump International Hotel. The only occupant of the vehicle, believed to be 37-year-old Matthew Livelsberger, died in the incident and several others sustained injuries. 
Why It Matters: According to police officials, the vehicle occupant rented the vehicle on Dec. 28 and died of a self-inflicted gunshot wound before the explosion. The police also recovered firearms, fireworks, and gas canisters from the vehicle. An investigation into the motive behind the incident is ongoing. 
Musk confirmed on the day of the explosion that it was caused by &#8220;fireworks and/ or a bomb&#8221; in the <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/tech/25/01/42757901/elon-musk-fireworks-or-explosive-device-caused-fatal-cybertruck-incident-at-las-vegas-trump-hotel-vehicle-was-rented">truck bed of the rented Cybertruck</a> and is unrelated to the vehicle.
&#8220;All vehicle telemetry was positive at the time of the explosion,&#8221; Musk then said.

Tesla Will Put Cybertruck Involved In Explosion At Trump Hotel Back On Road, Says Elon Musk: 'We'll Buff Out The Scratches'

On Thursday, the U.S. Court of Appeals for the 6th Circuit struck down the Federal Communications Commission&#8217;s net neutrality rules.
What Happened: This decision represents a major policy win for Republicans and poses a challenge to the Joe Biden administration&#8217;s internet regulation agenda.
Democrats have been advocating for stricter controls akin to those on traditional telephone networks, while Republicans favor a more relaxed approach.
The 6th Circuit judges referenced a Supreme Court ruling from June that struck down the Chevron deference principle, enabling them to question the FCC&#8217;s authority. Chevron deference refers to the flexibility federal judges grant agencies in interpreting the statutes they oversee when disputes occur.

The court argued that internet service providers are not simply &#8220;dumb pipes&#8221; and should not be regulated like utilities.
FCC chairwoman Jessica Rosenworcel has called on Congress to legislate open internet principles.
Brendan Carr, President-elect Donald Trump-appointed FCC chairman, praised the court&#8217;s decision and promised further deregulatory actions.
"The work to unwind the Biden Administration's regulatory overreach will continue," he said, <a href="https://www.washingtonpost.com/technology/2025/01/02/net-neutrality-fcc-sixth-circuit-strike-down/">reported</a> The Washington Post.

Why It Matters: Net neutrality is based on the <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/general/politics/17/12/10865684/survey-heres-how-americans-feel-about-net-neutrality">principle that internet service providers</a> like Comcast Corporation (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/CMCSA#NASDAQ">CMCSA</a>), AT&amp;T Inc. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/T#NYSE">T</a>), and Verizon Communications (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/VZ#NYSE">VZ</a>) are required to treat all internet traffic equally, ensuring uniform speed and access, no matter which company is behind the content.
Supporters of net neutrality argue that these rules are crucial to prevent internet service providers from abusing their power, such as throttling access to certain websites.
Critics, however, say there&#8217;s little evidence of such discrimination and warn that increased regulation could hinder innovation.
Previously, the Computer &amp; Communications Industry Association, which counts Amazon.com, Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AMZN#NASDAQ">AMZN</a>), Apple Inc.

(NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/META#NASDAQ">META</a>) among its members, supported the reinstatement of the rules, stating that they are necessary to maintain open internet access.
Price Action: According to <a href="https://benzinga.grsm.io/lxquj26b2sag">data from Benzinga Pro</a>, Comcast&#8217;s stock dropped 0.29% on Thursday, while AT&amp;T rose by 0.26% and Verizon increased by 0.55%.

Biden-Era Net Neutrality Rules Overturned By Federal Appeals Court: What It Means For Net Freedom, Cybersecurity And Consumers

Cryptocurrency analyst James Van Straten expressed skepticism on Thursday over the immediate announcement of a Bitcoin (CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/btc/usd">BTC</a>) strategic reserve on Day 1 of Donald Trump&#8217;s office.
What Happened: Van Straten ruled out the possibility of Trump issuing an executive order establishing a Bitcoin reserve, <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/cryptocurrency/24/12/42505162/trump-reportedly-considering-executive-order-to-establish-strategic-bitcoin-reserve">contrary to previous reports.</a>
&#8220;I don&#8217;t&nbsp;see Donald Trump announcing a&nbsp;BTC reserve via an executive&nbsp;order on Day 1 or&nbsp;in the near term,&#8221; he wrote on X. 
Van Straten added that Trump, who is pro-Bitcoin, would likely buy in the background instead of making a public announcement. &#8220;No advantage announcing to the world about a BTC reserve as the price will just run away from him. He will just buy in the background.&#8221;

<script async src="https://platform.twitter.com/widgets.js" charset="utf-8"></script></div>

The most likely scenario was Trump restricting the sale of the seized Bitcoins held by the U.S. government, Van Straten said. 
As of this writing, the government holds 198,109 Bitcoins in asset forfeiture funds,&nbsp;<a href="https://intel.arkm.com/explorer/entity/usg" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">according&nbsp;</a>to analytics firm Arkham Intelligence.

Why It Matters: Van Straten&#8217;s views aligned with those of analysts <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/cryptocurrency/24/12/42720168/will-trump-administration-sell-gold-to-buy-bitcoin-for-strategic-reserve-in-2025-analyst-s">with whom Benzinga spoke recently</a>.
Johnny Gabriele, Head Analyst of Blockchain Economics and AI Integration at&nbsp;The Lifted Initiative, said that his money was on the U.S. not selling the Bitcoin it currently has and calling that Bitcoin strategic reserve.
These opinions come in the wake of speculation that Trump might <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/cryptocurrency/24/12/42480856/donald-trump-pledges-to-do-something-great-with-crypto-heres-what-hes-done-so-far">create a national Bitcoin stockpile</a> as promised in his election campaign. 
Trump has vowed to "do something great with crypto" when he was asked about a strategic reserve consisting of the leading cryptocurrency. 
A bill has already been proposed by Sen. Cynthia Lummis (R-Wy.), also called the BITCOIN Act, which advocates<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/cryptocurrency/24/11/42080839/cynthia-lummis-says-strategic-bitcoin-reserve-could-take-shape-soon-after-trump-raises-his-hand-and-is-sworn-in" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener"> the purchase of 1 million Bitcoin over five years</a> by the Treasury Department, with no selling or auctioning for a minimum of 20 years.

Carvana, Unity Software, SuperCom, Rigetti Computing, Tesla: Why These 5 Stocks Are On Investors' Radars Today

Tesla Inc.&#8216;s (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/TSLA#NASDAQ">TSLA</a>) <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/analyst-ratings/analyst-color/25/01/42777950/teslas-first-sales-drop-splits-wall-street-2025-will-be-the-prove-it-year">latest delivery miss</a> has intensified debate among analysts about the company&#8217;s autonomous driving and robotaxi ambitions, with sharp disagreement over its 2025 outlook.
What Happened: James Thorne, Chief Market Strategist at Wellington-Altus, remains bullish despite Tesla&#8217;s fourth-quarter deliveries falling short of expectations. &#8220;My long term thesis for 2025 anchors off robots, Robotaxi, and autonomy,&#8221; Thorne posted on X, dismissing current market reaction as noise while maintaining his view of Tesla reaching $2 trillion valuation by 2025.
GLJ Research CEO Gordon Johnson strongly countered the optimism surrounding Tesla&#8217;s Optimus robot, stating, &#8220;They&#8217;ll sell approximately 0.00 robots in 2025. They are years behind the competition.&#8221; Johnson went on to compare Tesla&#8217;s human-controlled robots to outdated technology from &#8220;1980s Chuck E. Cheese restaurants.&#8221;

Gary Black of The Future Fund LLC outlined several potential catalysts, including a new $25,000-$30,000 vehicle launch in the first half of 2025. Black, maintaining a $380 price target, projects Tesla reaching 8.1 million vehicle sales by 2030, representing an 18% global EV market share.
However, Black cautioned about risks, particularly the potential elimination of the $7,500 EV tax credit, citing significant sales declines in France and Germany after similar credit removals.

Tesla shares dropped 6% to $379.28 following the news, though the stock maintained a roughly 62% gain for 2024.

Why It Matters: The sales disappointment comes as Tesla faces growing scrutiny over its Full Self-Driving technology. Truist analyst William Stein recently tested FSD v13, noting it required no interventions during a 15-mile trip but showed concerning behaviors including <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/analyst-ratings/analyst-color/25/01/42772702/tesla-analyst-says-fsd-test-drive-shows-imperfections-not-ready-for-prime-time-yet">failure to yield to pedestrians</a>.
