One of Tesla's biggest supporters has said that Elon Musk needs to reduce his work for Donald Trump to stem the damage to the company's reputation.
In a separate development, Tesla has announced a recall of 46,000 Cybertrucks in the US to fix an exterior panel that could detach while driving.
The recall comes amidst ongoing protests against Tesla, with 500 demonstrations planned at Tesla showrooms worldwide on March 29.
Tesla shares have declined by a third in the past month, partly due to investor concerns over Musk's high-profile involvement with the Trump administration.
