Tesla's extreme valuation rests on self-driving, energy, and an uncertain robot
Tesla's record valuation rests entirely on three unproven bets: self-driving cars, energy, and a robot.
Tesla trades at 354 times earnings and 159 times forward earnings, far above rivals. The 24/7 Wall St. price target is $410.88, suggesting 8% upside.
The bull case hinges on three unproven areas: Full Self-Driving subscriptions (1.48 million, up 56%), Robotaxi (seven US cities), and energy storage (13.5 gigawatt-hours deployed). Elon Musk predicts humanoid robot Optimus will be the company's biggest product.
Traders give it only a 7.3% chance of release this year. If these three bets scale on schedule, the premium holds.
If they falter, it disappears.
