Tesla’s (TSLA) 2025 journey has been anything but smooth. The year began on a sour note, with the electric vehicle (EV) stock logging its worst quarter since 2022, battered further by President Donald Trump’s tariff shock in April. Sentiment soured as sales lagged, competition from China tightened, and Musk’s political moves drew sharp backlash.
Yet just as the story seemed stuck in reverse, momentum flipped. TSLA stock turned green for 2025, surging double digits from April lows, fueled by CEO Elon Musk’s headline-grabbing $1 billion stock buy and fresh optimism around robotaxis, humanoid robots, and the fast-growing MegaBlocks battery business.
