$2,600
“we are in print as a pri with a price target at uh 2600”
Thesis at the time
Strongly BullishCathie Wood argues Tesla's robotaxi and autonomous driving rollout will become the dominant driver of the company's value, citing her own personal experience with FSD and predicting rapid adoption across US cities. ARK Invest maintains a long-term price target and is preparing an updated valuation model reflecting accelerated robotaxi rollout data.
Key arguments
- FSD experience is already delightful and improving rapidly toward full autonomy
- Robotaxis offer a superior, safer experience versus human-driven rideshare
- Tesla owners will be able to send personal vehicles out as robotaxis to earn income, paying off the car in 2-3 years
- Robotaxi opportunity alone is expected to account for 90% of Tesla's value in five years
- Tesla is rolling out robotaxi service faster than expected, launching in Tampa before Waymo
Counter-arguments acknowledged
- Even if robotaxi expectations are cut in half, ARK still expects a nice compound annual return over five years
Hedges and caveats (from the video)
- Wood acknowledges FSD technology is 'not perfect yet'
- Robotaxi adoption described as 'slowly slowly then all at once' (uncertain timeline)
- Prediction depends on regulatory approval and widespread autonomous vehicle acceptance
- Current FSD capabilities limited to specific geographies (St. Petersburg, Florida mentioned)
