Jo Bhakdi“I think we see a postponement on a tactical level into Q1 and 2026. I don't see too many catalysts. I see us plateauing up here.”@ 20:11 · open at this moment on YouTube ↗
Thesis at the time
Strongly BullishTesla's Q3 earnings confirmed the full long-term roadmap with $41B cash, Optimus V3 mass-production demo in Q1 2026, robo-taxi scaling, and cybercab mass production end of 2026, supporting targets of $500-600 by April 2026, $700 by October 2026, and $1,000+ by Q1 2027.
Key arguments
- Tesla has $41 billion in cash and short-term investments, up multiple billion dollars from last quarter.
- Elon confirmed first mass-production Optimus V3 demo in Q1 2026.
- Cybercab mass production preparation projected to start scaling end of 2026.
- Services gross margin is now 10% and energy gross margin is 31%.
- Robo-taxi inflection expected around May 2026 with ~1,500 robo-taxis deployed.
- Chinese supplier leaks suggest 70,000 Optimus units production capacity for 2026.
Counter-arguments acknowledged
- Short-term catalysts all moved to Q1 2026, removing November catalysts.
- EPS came in at 50 cents vs 54 cents expected due to elevated R&D spend.
- Robo-taxi driver removal limited to few vehicles in Austin, less of a surprise.
