Tesla Sinks After Hours: Model S Recalled, Bonds Collapse, Fraud Lawsuit Goes On

It's a beautiful trifecta for Tesla this evening, provided you are short. I have no position.

MarketWatch reports Tesla stock falls even farther after recall of 123,000 Model S cars.

Tesla Inc. finished off its worst month in seven years with the news late Thursday that the electric-auto maker is recalling 123,000 Model S vehicles due to a potential flaw in a power steering component.

The recall of the Model S vehicles is due to a bolt that could corrode, an issue that occurs in cars built before April 2016, and in winter conditions where roads are frequently salted, the company said. Just 0.02% of the cars ever experience the problem, Tesla said.

It's a small percentage of cars involved in the recall, but it will prove to be costly to a company already struggling to stay afloat.

Bonds Ouch!

Tesla bonds…ouch. The current implied yield of nearly 7.7% on Tesla 2025 debt is unsustainably high for the company, which needs to raise several billion dollars by the beginning of next year to remain viable: Bloomberg Intelligence's @JoelLevington1 pic.twitter.com/MDFq6nhbOI
