Tesla stock is down more than 50% from its December peak as Elon Musk’s company heads into an earnings report expected to bring its worst profit in four years.

Its problems can be attributed to both company-specific factors and broader macroeconomic trends that are pushing down many high-growth tech stocks.

Tesla investors are increasingly restless ahead of a critical earnings report on Tuesday, with the automaker's stock price plunging this year.
