This affects his 321,628 Model Y and Model 3 vehicles from model year 2020 to 2023, with taillights not turning on.

Tesla stock forecast
stock price decline sent tesla stock It is below the March 2021 low of $179.83. This $180 support level is significant and has held several times in 2020.
A break below $180 at the moment is a bad sign for the Tesla bulls as it means the next support area will drop to $167.50. That price level acted as both support and resistance in November 2020 and tight resistance in August 2020. Below that is the $154 resistance level from fall 2020.
The weekly moving average convergence divergence (MACD) indicator also appears to be in free fall and does not appear anywhere near a bullish crossover. Unless a bullish catalyst appears in this week’s headlines, Tesla’s stock is expected to fall to one of the mentioned support levels. Both are better entry points than the current price of nearly $175.
