As one bullish analyst put it....choosing robotaxi over the low cost car would be a disaster. The taxi will take forever to rein in revenue, if ever. Robotaxis in the few cities testing them right now are encountering major problems, such as hindering emergency vehicles.
And how many of these "analysts" have gotten it wrong over the years when it comes to Tesla? How many shorters have shut their funds down? I wouldn't call them bullish, but more full of BS
I don't always agree with Elon, I sometimes think the guy gets sidetracked (like with X) and even sometimes that he's a nutcase. But the one thing I've learned...I don't bet against him. In 2017 when they announced the Model 3 and I saw all these people popping $2000 deposits for a car that was at least a year away I thought people were nuts. In 2020, I decided to drop a modest amount on TSLA, I would ride the bubble and sell before it pops. After it hit above $100, lots of really smart people were telling me to sell, I could make a couple thousand before it all comes crashing down. The thing is, I didn't sell, held on, and that small investment is now more than doubled. Not only that, the Model 3 is now the second best selling car in California, the largest auto market in NA. I don't only invest in Tesla because I want to make a ton of money, but because they have changed the world, showing that battery powered cars and trucks are totally viable

You think negative sentiment is bad now, around 2017 CL was all about the sky is falling Tesla is going out of business legacy auto will have to buy them out, Tesla will never scale the piling on was unbelievable. It's almost like Elon Musk knows more than the chicken little's tossing around slurs like "true believer" and so many others.
I like how Warren Redlich puts it, knowing more than Elon disease.

Tesla is the worst performing stock in the S&P 500 this year, down 33% when the broad market is up more than 10%, so I'd say you'd better hope he has some ideas beyond robotaxis.
Anyways, I'm not a holder in it, or a short seller (my days of short selling are long past), so good luck to ya.

Lol only in the last year, over 5 years it's up 824 percent. I definitely wouldn't hire you as my financial advisor. No offense

i disagree on semi, if they can do it, it's a giant opportunity. i don't know what's taking so long for greater adoption.
i disagree on CT, since they already have millions of orders. as hideous as it is, it will be successful, and will likely lead to more 'trucks'.
Look in the forums about roof tiles....people are waiting years with no updates. Tesla solar roof tiles which is imo great, the upfront cost vs getting a new roof + regular solar panels is much more expensive. Not sure it's worth it nor will it generate much revenue. They will make a lot more on their regular panels and power storage. I personally would much prefer the tiles but I wouldn't spend 40k more for it.
Optimus ....hard to say right now. Other robots seem to be much more advanced vs Optimus, lets see if Tesla is able to catch up.
What's taking so long is Tesla is still unable to produce them apart from the initial deliveries to Pepsi. Why exactly I am not sure. However, they have been working on it since 2017, to have only a 100-200 produced since then....the opportunity cost imo is way too high. As mentioned, they could have spent have spent less half the time and resources creating a Maverick sized pick up based on the Model Y. I bet it would easily outsell the Model 3 if it existed.
CT have millions of orders, orders that cost $100 to reserve. Lets see how sales goes, I have mentioned in other threads that I don't believe it will do well. I would be shocked if they sell over 100k per year at any point. Even 75k per year would still be above what I expect per year.
Seriously anybody who bets against Tesla stock is making a losing bet, the question is where is the floor...I don't think we are there yet but we will see $300 Tesla stock again.

I've been holding since 2020, if I have to hold longer, not a problem. Just one question to those that have any doubts...if you've been holding for the last 5 years and you are up over 800 percent, would that be considered a bad investment? Not in my book. Or maybe I'm just not greedy enough
