Tesla’s High Stakes Gamble on Robotaxis and Model 2
🚗 Tesla's valuation is considered risky, similar to Palantir's, demanding significant future growth to be justified.

Tesla Sales Slump in Spain Despite EV Boom

Tesla at a Crossroads: Sales Slump vs. Reversal Hopes
📉 Tesla faces significant headwinds: The stock price has fallen significantly after hitting highs, global sales are decelerating with Q1 deliveries down 13% year-over-year, and profits have dropped sharply.

Tesla Tumbles: Magnificent Seven Leader Takes a 40% Hit

Tesla’s $2600 Target: Robotaxi Dream or Valuation Nightmare?
🚀 Cathie Wood projects Tesla shares reaching $2600 within 5 years, primarily driven by the upcoming robotaxi service, expected to launch commercially in June and contribute 90% of the company's value.
🤖 The robotaxi service is envisioned as a high-margin (over 80%) SaaS model, significantly more profitable than current EV sales (15-25% margins), potentially disrupting transportation by offering lower costs per mile than traditional taxis, ride-sharing, and even private car ownership in Western markets.
🤔 Critics argue ARK Invest's valuation is overly optimistic and unrealistic, valuing the yet-to-exist robotaxi business at trillions, potentially more than Apple, Microsoft, Amazon, and Alphabet combined, and vastly exceeding current valuations of competitors like Waymo or Uber.
