- Robotaxi Pilot Launch: Tesla is gradually rolling out its autonomous ride-sharing service, Robotaxi, with over 1.6 million vehicles expected to be capable of unsupervised driving by 2025, although success hinges on technological and regulatory advancements.
- Declining Deliveries: Tesla's total vehicle deliveries in 2025 are projected at 1.636 million, down 7.5% from 1.789 million in 2024, indicating challenges in market demand.
- Poor Financial Performance: The company's latest quarterly report shows a 37% year-over-year decline in net income, reflecting pressure on profitability that may affect investor confidence.
- High Market Valuation: With a price-to-earnings ratio exceeding 300, despite the significant potential of the Robotaxi initiative, the current high valuation may have already priced in success, increasing investment risks.
