Tesla Inc. continues to be a focal point of debate among investors and analysts. On one hand, experts appreciate its impressive revenue growth and market presence as a leading electric vehicle manufacturer. However, many express concerns about its high valuation, trading at multiples that seem unsustainable given recent operational challenges and increased competition in the EV and robotics markets. Although there are optimistic views on the company's future, particularly regarding Tesla's venture into autonomous vehicles and robotics, others caution against over-reliance on Elon Musk's vision, suggesting it may lead to volatility and unpredictability in stock performance. The mixed sentiments result in a split perception of Tesla's future, oscillating between excitement for growth potential and skepticism about current valuations.
They just unveiled their much-awaited robotaxis; shares plunged over 8% today. Tesla needed to impress, because EV growth is slowing and there's more competition. When shares bottomed last April, Musk pivoted by changing the conversation to self-driving cars. Since then, shares nearly doubled. Then the showcase happened and Musk offered very few details, including financials and a timeline. Meanwhile, competitor Waymo keep moving ahead. He won't buy this or short it; don't underestimate Musk.
This and GOOG are blamed for today's deep sell-off, but didn't the street expect TSLA to have a weak quarter yesterday. It's hard to hold onto their big gains from the $170s (to the $250s). Elon Musk has several ventures going, like humanoid robots, self-driving cars, energy storage (this quarter, this sector doubled) and semis, though down the road. It's more than just a car company, run by a smart CEO and worth buying on his dip. But you have to be long-term and patient.
It's market cap could top $1 billion, but it's risky. Shares are up 11 straight days. It needs to show that Tesla Energy will become a bigger part of its business. Its EV sales are levelling off, though self-driving cars could be a big thing. We need to hear what Musk has to say about robo taxis in China.
Last week he bought it around $195, then just sold part of his holding around $250. Sales deliveries were good news, and energy storage business hit record profit margins. Another tailwind is that locally built Teslas appeared on the approved Chinese government buying list. But it is a volatile name. If it falls to $220, he may buy back some.
When they report on Oct. 23, we will hear the details of their robotaxi hear last week at the presentation which triggered a sell-off. Shares have resistance at $265-270 and support at $198-205.
