Tesla (TSLA) is having a terrible month, and it’s only April 10th!

On today's troubling episode of Quick Charge (youtube.com/@ElectrekDaily), we explore all the troubles befalling Tesla (and TSLA stock) in the month April – with top executives fleeing the ship, demand plummeting, sales slipping, government incentives at home and abroad under threat, and a raft of receipts brought on by an OpenAI lawsuit hitting the brand, it's already a bad month for Elon ... and there's still 20 more days to go!

None of this even touches on the $43 million "backlogged" rebate scandal Tesla's facing in Canada that's being blamed for people's negative attitudes about the brand (ha!) or the fact that neither the long-promised Roadster 2.0 or the Tesla Semi (electrek.co/2025/04/04/tesla-semi-suffers-dela…) will see production anytime this year, either.

The word you're looking for when you think of Tesla these days is, "cooked."
