NASDAQ: TSLA $375.00 −0.74% snapshot
Tesla, Inc. · Common stock · Austin, Texas

A carmaker on the books, an AI bet in the price.

Tesla still earns about three-quarters of its revenue selling cars, and Q3 operating margin was 2.6% on flat sales. Margins and cash flow recovered and 2026 capex was cut to about $20B, but the $1.5T valuation still rests on robotaxi, FSD, Optimus and energy storage.

Watch list

What moves the thesis, sorted by direction.

Tailwind

Robotaxi and FSD

Cybercab joined the Austin robotaxi fleet on Sep 3, unsupervised miles grew 8× in the quarter and Dallas is next. Active FSD subscriptions rose 67% to 1.74M, with over 75% of North American deliveries attaching FSD.

Tailwind

Volume is back

Gross margin rose to 19.6% and auto margin ex-credits to 18.1%, the best in a year; energy margin hit 33%. Musk says the vehicle backlog is the largest in four years and expects margins to rise meaningfully.

Watch

Margin squeeze

Operating income fell 56% YoY to $718M as R&D rose 69%, and GAAP EPS was just $0.22. Revenue was flat, with battery supply still limiting vehicle output.

Watch

Capex and cash burn

Free cash flow returned to +$1.53B as capex fell to $4.73B. 2026 capex was cut to about $20B from over $25B, but management says it rises in 2027, and Terafab could cost tens of billions. Cash and investments: $45.4B.

Risk

Credits and execution

Credit revenue fell 73% YoY to $113M. Optimus and Semi production has only just started, Optimus customer deliveries are not expected until about end-2027, and unsupervised FSD for owners is targeted for around Q2 2027.

Risk

Valuation and dispersion

About 164× 2027 earnings. Analyst targets run from $157 to $840, and 15 of 82 rate it a sell. Average daily range is about $11, so position sizing matters.

Calendar

Nov–Dec 2026

Robotaxi expansion

Dallas next, more cities before year-end, and 24/7 operation targeted by end-2026.

Early Jan 2027

Q4 deliveries

Production and deliveries usually post on the second calendar day of the quarter.
