Why Robotaxi Will Keep Pushing Tesla Stock TO THE MOON
Overall SentimentBullishStrength: 90%
Overall Thesis
Jo Bhakdi argues Tesla's 23% weekly move is driven by the China tariff truce and macro tailwinds, but the real story is the robotaxi rollout scenario which in the expected case doubles Tesla's 2024 EBITDA by 2026 and sends profits through the roof. He urges daily tracking of Austin deployment counts to get ahead of Wall Street on whether Tesla is on the slow, expected, or fast trajectory.
Narratives
TSLATesla
Strongly BullishRobotaxi inflection will add trillions of profit by the late 2020s, with expected case 100,000 robotaxis in 2026 already doubling Tesla's current EBITDA; tracking Austin deployment counts is the alpha opportunity.
Key Arguments
- China 90-day tariff truce at 30% and UK trade deal drove 23% weekly rally in TSLA.
- Expected case: 50 robotaxis in June, 2,250 by end-2025, 100,000 by end-2026.
- Fast case hits 1M robotaxis in 2027 - conservative vs Elon's 2M by end-2026 claim.
- Robotaxi COGS of ~$15,000 per unit creates unbeatable economics against Waymo.
- Affordable Model rollout adds 10% uplift but robotaxi is the main profit driver.
