Analysis
Sentiment at -0.50 — the most negative in this entire batch — against a B-score of 88 and up 13.5%. Tesla's decoupling of financial performance from cultural sentiment is now a structural feature, not a phase. The C-score of 55 means the brand still commands attention, but the attention is increasingly adversarial. Elon Musk has turned a luxury EV company into a political symbol, and the stock keeps moving anyway.
