Tesla (TSLA) is experiencing a difficult summer, following a challenging second quarter marked by slowing demand for electric vehicles and increased price competition among automakers.

Adding to the volatility is CEO Elon Musk's outspoken support for former President Donald Trump's latest presidential bid.
