Tesla stock closes at record as investors rally around Musk’s robotaxi hype despite slow EV sales

• Tesla’s stock hit a record, surpassing its prior all-time high reached almost exactly a year ago.
• The latest rally is in part due to optimism that the company will finally make good on its promise to turn existing electric vehicles into robotaxis.
• It’s been a rollercoaster year for Tesla investors after the stock plummeted 36% in the first quarter, its worst performance since 2022.
