Elon Musk's strategic inclusion of a truck in Tesla's vehicle lineup aligns seamlessly with the enduring popularity of trucks in the United States. However, this isn't just any truck; it's the Cybertruck—a vehicle designed to be extraordinary and capture attention with its polarizing design and distinctive features. Crafted from shiny stainless steel, this electric pickup truck boasts durability with its flat planes and minimal curves.
Despite delays in production, yesterday’s first delivery triggered diverse market reactions, particularly related to its pricing, which escalated nearly 50% from the initial announcement.
The post-market stock price, experiencing a 2% decline, prompts speculation about Tesla's stock trajectory post the highly anticipated Cybertruck delivery. Acknowledging the initial negative sentiment towards elevated prices, especially in the current inflationary climate, it's perceived as a knee-jerk reaction. Despite these concerns, the enduring appeal of trucks in the U.S. suggests that once the initial sentiment settles, the Cybertruck's distinctive design will likely drive swift sales, notwithstanding a few inherent challenges in any innovative product launch.
Examining the stock decline from a technical standpoint reveals Tesla's price trading within a downward channel since its mid-July peak. Approaching the upper side of this channel, a wedge is forming, creating a pivotal point. The outcome hinges on finding support at the 200-day exponential moving average (200ema). Failure could lead to a descent to the lower channel, possibly testing recent lows at 190. Conversely, a breakout would signal a bullish trend for Tesla. Personal speculation leans towards a temporary dip to find support at the 200ema before a potential breakout. This analysis is a personal perspective, not financial advice. Trade with caution.

Your technical analysis offers valuable insights, but do you also consider other external factors that might influence Tesla's stock trajectory, such as upcoming competitors or regulatory changes? How do you weigh these factors in your speculation?
Do you think the Cybertruck's unique design will be enough to overcome the initial backlash against its increased pricing?
Despite the truck's delays and price hike, I still believe that the Cybertruck will be a game-changer for Tesla
Its current PE ratio and other fundamentals won't support $350/share until more product comes to market/sold - and I'm not talking about cars and trucks - I'm referring to charging stations across the US and Tesla powered homes.
Interesting to see how the market reacted to the Cybertruck delivery.
I can only imagine what shorties might have felt when TSLA was trading $13/- in 2012
