High Gas Prices Fail to Lift Tesla Sales Amid Rising EV Costs and Borrowing Rates
Higher EV prices and borrowing costs are preventing Tesla from benefiting from high gas prices by turning away potential buyers.
According to MarketWatch, Tesla is not receiving an expected sales boost from high gas prices.
