Tesla and Ford Facing Challenges
The EV titan, Tesla Inc (TSLA), seemed to reach new heights in 2023, but the initial prospects for 2024 have been gloomy. Tesla suffered a staggering $94 billion decline in market valuation within the first fortnight, marking its worst annual start ever. The challenging road ahead was compounded by Elon Musk’s candid disclosure that the highly anticipated Cybertruck may not turn a profit until 2025. Even Ford Motor’s electric F-150 pickup, the Lightning, faced obstacles, as the planned 2024 production was halved due to waning EV demand.

Worksport recently secured all necessary inventory parts for the Alpha Release of its innovative COR portable energy system.
