Why I'm a Buyer of Tesla at These Levels
Overall SentimentBullishStrength: 85%
Overall Thesis
Tesla is a compelling buy at current levels due to imminent Full Self-Driving unsupervised capability in 2027 and strong vehicle sales momentum that will drive stock appreciation.
Narratives
TSLATesla
Strongly BullishRandy Kirk argues he remains a buyer of Tesla at current levels because vehicle sales momentum, upcoming unsupervised FSD, Semi ramp, and margin expansion set up a much higher valuation, with robotaxi and Optimus upside not yet priced in. He builds a sum-of-the-parts model stacking auto/energy profits, FSD subscription income, and robotaxi fleet growth to justify a much higher share price than today's.
Key Arguments
- Unsupervised FSD rollout expected in 2027 could cause explosive demand as social sentiment shifts positive
- Vehicle production capacity increases planned across Texas, Berlin, and Shanghai to push output toward 2.88 million vehicles in 2027
- Semi truck ramp adds meaningful profit equivalent to multiple average vehicle sales
- Margins should improve as demand outstrips supply, reducing discounts and incentives
- Robotaxi and Optimus growth are largely unpriced in current valuation, offering further upside
- Energy division profit expected to grow 40-50% year over year
