Customers Don’t Like Tesla’s FSD. Should You Hit the Brakes on TSLA Stock in September 2025?

Tesla (TSLA) has long led the charge at the intersection of electric cars and artificial intelligence (AI) but is raising new concerns in its current hype around Full Self-Driving (FSD). A recent consumer sentiment survey finds that rather than creating new demand, Tesla's product in FSD could be pushing demand in the opposite direction.

These comments occur at a time when Tesla itself faces a broader identity crisis. Once clearly ahead of the EV curve, the company is fighting against declining global sales growth, a rising BYD (BYDDY) and other traditional automaker challenges, as well as now increasing questions about its autonomous vehicle roadmap. With sales in Europe crashing and brand image below that of a year ago, September 2025 could be a turning-point month for TSLA stock.
