Tesla sells off 2% into the VIX spike — a $19 intraday range that screams pre-earnings roulette, not conviction.

Tesla closed at $392.50, down 2.03%, the worst performer among the three mega-caps as the VIX surged 8.8% on the Touska seizure. The intraday swing from $406.80 to $388.33 — nearly $19 — is classic pre-earnings volatility: the market is positioning for Wednesday's Q1 report, not expressing a view on the company. Volume ticked up to 0.87x from the morning session but remained below average, suggesting the selling was driven more by the withdrawal of buyers than aggressive shorting.
