Tesla founder Elon Musk.
  • Vanda Research sees a sell-off coming for Tesla stock later this month after a hot start to 2023. 
  • Retail investors have piled into the EV-maker's stock, but Elon Musk's recent announcements fell flat.
  • "The current environment is more favorable for a sell-off, given the sizable investment flows in comparison to historical levels."

Tesla stock has had a red-hot start to 2023 thanks to enormous retail investor interest, but Elon Musk's announcements this week could end up sparking a sell-off rather than more enthusiasm, according to Vanda Research.
