Ives believes the Tesla inventory explosion is catalyzed by that, but in addition by the truth that the corporate is “probably the most undervalued AI play available in the market” as Robotaxi Day approaches:

Ives has at all times been bullish on Tesla, however was greater than keen to confess {that a} uneven begin to 2024 was sufficient to have some traders involved. However, the lengthy Tesla play could possibly be the very best technique for traders as the corporate strikes nearer towards autonomy and fixing its Full Self-Driving suite, which is the primary driver behind extra worth for shares sooner or later.

That is primarily pushed and utterly reliant on Tesla fixing autonomy and FSD as an entire, which may drive the corporate again to the elusive $1 trillion valuation, a membership that the automaker was as soon as aside of:
“We imagine in a bull case situation the Tesla FSD piece/section could possibly be value $1 trillion alone. We proceed to imagine that Tesla is extra of an AI and robotics play than a conventional automotive firm…..now the rubber meets the highway because the Road anticipates August eighth as a key linchpin day for the Tesla story.”

With Musk’s pay package deal dilemma out of the way in which and the corporate at the least seeing some progress from Q1, traders have fewer considerations than earlier than.
In fact, there’s nonetheless the overhang of year-over-year supply reductions, however Tesla is principally debunking that idea with its “between two waves of progress” narrative. Warning traders of this earlier this 12 months was a superb play for the corporate, but it surely might want to execute with its next-gen platform and Robotaxi over the subsequent few years to maintain considerations to a minimal.
