Ross Gerber returns to Market On Close to talk all things Tesla (TSLA). On Elon Musk, Ross shares concern with the CEO starting his "America Party," calling it a reversal of his promise to turn his attention back on the company. On autonomous driving, he argues Tesla is far behind companies like Alphabet's (GOOGL) Waymo, something he believes Musk needs to put more emphasis on. While many investors focus on the company's promises of future tech, Ross instead has his mind on the present as EV sales plunge.======== Schwab Network ========Empowering every investor and trader, every market day.Subscribe to the Market Minute newsletter - https://schwabnetwork.com/subscribeDownload the iOS app - https://apps.apple.com/us/app/schwab-...Download the Amazon Fire Tv App - https://www.amazon.com/TD-Ameritrade-...Watch on Sling - https://watch.sling.com/1/asset/19192...Watch on Vizio - https://www.vizio.com/en/watchfreeplu...Watch on DistroTV - https://www.distro.tv/live/schwab-net...Follow us on X – / schwabnetwork Follow us on Facebook – / schwabnetwork Follow us on LinkedIn - / schwab-network About Schwab Network - https://schwabnetwork.com/about

Jill and Tom opened the show discussing the demise of the federal electric-vehicle tax credit. The new and used credits expire on September 30.

Tesla (TSLA) vehicle deliveries fell 14% while global competitors like BYD Co. (BYDDY) continued to grow. "Tesla needs a gameplan to catch up," says Steve Westly. Otherwise, he sees the company falling behind. The company's robotaxi acts as a buffer for innovation but Steve adds that Waymo's acceleration poses another headwind for Tesla's growth. Macro headwinds in evolving U.S. policy, like EV credits being sidelined, add to challenges against the Mag 7 giant.======== Schwab Network ========Empowering every investor and trader, every market day.
