Tesla robotaxis: Wall Street weighs in on Elon Musk’s latest claim

Tesla Robotaxis: Wall Street Weighs In On Elon Musk’s Latest

Tesla (TSLA) stock closed up nearly 5% on Monday as investors bought into CEO Elon Musk’s latest proclamation that Tesla would debut its long-awaited robotaxi on Aug. 8.

Musk’s announcement of Tesla’s Robotaxi after the bell on Friday followed a Reuters report that Tesla had canceled plans to construct a long-awaited sub-$30,000 EV, which some have called the Model 2. Reuters said that Tesla would as an alternative deal with a self-driving robotaxi, with Musk responding on X that Reuters was “lying (again),” before returning to the platform later to announce the revealing of the robotaxi, generally understood to haven’t any steering wheel or pedals. It’s still an open query whether Tesla will eventually unveil a low-cost EV.

Despite Monday’s pop in shares, Wall Street analysts are mixed on the announcement.

Deutsche Bank’s Emmanuel Rosner said the robotaxi news was “thesis-changing” on Tesla.

“If the shift away from Model 2 is once more confirmed, the Tesla bull case would then presumably be that in light of solid improvement in its autonomous tech, Tesla has decided to press its unique AI and software advantage through a deal with robotaxi, which few OEMs [original equipment makers] could imitate and that might command more favorable economics,” Rosner said on the bull side of the thesis.

The bear side, nonetheless, is that Tesla has given up a “key reason” why many own the stock: the Model 2 as a volume play that might “reaccelerate volume, margins, and FCF [free cash flow],” Rosner said. It might also mean the bull thesis is predicated on Tesla cracking the code on self-driving, which is able to require navigating quite a lot of regulatory hurdles and acquiring enough data to coach the software.

Rosner has a Buy rating on the stock and a $189 price goal.

On the flip side, noted Tesla bull Tasha Keeney at ARK Invest believes the long-term potential of Tesla is essentially tied up with self-driving and autonomy.

“They’ve an unparalleled data advantage in comparison with every other company that is solving for full autonomy,” Keeney said in an interview with Yahoo Finance Live. As with AI, Keeney said data is the important thing to training models and attending to a working model of self-driving. She said Tesla’s full-self driving (FSD) beta is sort of there, noting that Tesla is accumulating 2.5 million miles of self-driving data from customers daily. Competitors like Waymo have only logged somewhat over 10 million miles for the reason that starting of the project, Keeney said.

“We predict that is going to drive the longer term value of Tesla. Once we look out five years, we expect it’ll be two-thirds of the enterprise value in five years. So we’re super enthusiastic about it,” Keeney said.

ARK Invest founder Cathie Wood recently reiterated the firm’s $2,000 price goal on Tesla, forecasting $10 trillion in revenue from robotaxi efforts.

On the opposite side of the spectrum is Craig Irwin at Roth Capital, who’s rather more skeptical on the robotaxi. He believes today’s move within the stock is technical in nature and never rooted in fundamentals. Irwin has a Neutral rating on the stock and an $85 price goal.

“Skilled investors follow momentum. They measure retail momentum very rigorously, and the dimensions of the uplift on this announcement might be measured by all my clients across Wall Street,” Irwin said. After the initial digestion of the news, Irwin believes Tesla’s autonomous play remains to be far off.

“[Autonomous driving] will devour as much electricity because the drivetrain [in current EVs]. Technically it’s conceivable, it’s feasible, but not on the [Tesla] vehicles which have been sold, and never within the format that anyone’s near today,” Irwin said.

Irwin suspects Tesla’s vehicles will need more enhanced sensors, cameras, and other equipment to actually achieve full autonomy, and the fascination of the “Cyber Taxi,” as Irwin called it, is masking the larger fundamental problems at the corporate, similar to lack of demand and robust competition.

“I believe the stock can get cut in half; I believe there’s more price cuts to return. I believe that there is more margin compression, and it is a diversion away from the indisputable fact that the corporate is now shrinking,” Irwin concluded.
