Number of Hedge Fund Holders: 99

Tesla Inc. (NASDAQ:TSLA) manufactures electric vehicles, energy storage systems, and solar panels. Some of its popular electric cars include the Model 3, Model Y, Model S, Model X, and the Cyber Truck. Investor optimism in the company is growing due to advancements in AI, particularly in autonomous driving and robotics.

The company has achieved significant milestones, including a 1000x improvement in miles driven without human intervention for its Full Self-Driving (FSD) software since January 2024. Furthermore, there have been successful autonomous driving demonstrations involving 20 Cybercabs that operated without human intervention.

Its Optimus robot has also captured significant investor attention. Optimus is a humanoid robot under development by Tesla Inc. (NASDAQ:TSLA), which is designed to perform tasks that are dangerous, repetitive, or boring. It will come out in late 2025/early 2026. The company’s robotaxi, however, will be launched in mid-2025. It’s a fully autonomous vehicle designed to operate as part of a ride-hailing service. Bank of America’s John Murphy downgraded Tesla Inc. (NASDAQ:TSLA) to Neutral from Buy on January 7th, raising its price target to $490 from $400. While acknowledging potential catalysts like the robotaxi launch and Optimus updates, he cited high execution risk given its current valuation.
