MULN stock forecast

EV stocks were plunging on Monday after they seemed to have turned a corner late last week. Shares of industry leader Tesla (NASDA:TSLA) were tanking yet again as a new report suggested that the EV maker is losing market share in China. Tesla delayed its return to full production at the Shanghai GigaFactory for another week, and CEO Elon Musk is still publicly deciding on whether or not he wants to buy Twitter (NYSE:TWTR). Shares of other EV makers like Lucid (NASDAQ:LCID) and Rivian (NASDAQ:RIVN) were also trading lower during the session.
