Shares of Tesla (TSLA) recouped its losses from the beginning of the year after 11-straight days of gains, only to turn negative after reports of the company pushing back the unveiling of its robotaxi to October.

Deepwater Asset Management Managing Partner Doug Clinton joins Asking For A Trend to give insight into Tesla's recent performance and its delay of the robotaxi unveiling.

"The first thing I would say is nothing is official in Tesla-land until you hear it from Elon himself. Because what sort of led to this event in the first place was a Reuters report several months ago that the Model 2 was going to be canceled. Elon said that that is false. And then he followed up saying that we're going to have a robotaxi event in August. We haven't seen Elon tweet anything yet. I just checked before we jumped on-air here, he hasn't said anything about the event yet, so who knows what could happen." says Clinton

He follows that up with: "What the stock has been doing more recently is it's been reflecting the hype and the excitement that investors are having for Tesla and what might come in terms of this robotaxi and what that ultimately might mean for the model. And Tesla, more than any other stock, is such a powerful religion"
