As Tesla prepares for its highly anticipated Robotaxi event, investors are eager for updates on the rumored $25,000 electric vehicle. While the event will focus on Tesla's self-driving fleet, there is growing speculation that more details about the low-cost EV could be unveiled.
Tesla's Upcoming Robotaxi Event Sparks Investor Interest, Potentially Unveiling Rumored $25K Electric Vehicle
Tesla's Robotaxi event is imminent, and confident Goldman Sachs investors are inquiring whether the company could furnish additional information about the $25,000 electric vehicle that has been the subject of rumors for some time.
Tesla's future prognosis is already significantly affected by the Robotaxi event. With this event, Tesla can establish a foundation for substantial expansion, per Teslarati.
Companies have been asserting that the Robotaxi concept would propel Tesla to the forefront of the self-driving race, a race in which the company has been engaged in a competitive effort to compete with Waymo and other organizations.
Bank of America analysts stated last week that the event could significantly increase Tesla stock if executed correctly. Several factors must be addressed to guarantee a "successful" event, including a dedicated Robotaxi vehicle, a thorough plan of attack, and safety compared to human driving.
Tesla’s Robotaxi Event May Reveal Critical Updates on $25K EV and Fleet Commercialization Timeline
According to Goldman Sachs analyst Mark Delaney, the Robotaxi event will be heavily influenced by CEO Elon Musk and the information he can disclose during the event, particularly the speed at which Tesla can establish the commercial operation of the Robotaxi fleet to investors.
“The timeline to begin commercial operations in robotaxis (including technology readiness and operational/regulatory/logistical considerations) and the business outlook (including how Tesla’s cost structure may compare to competitors) will be key areas of focus for investors.”
Delaney also stated in the note that Tesla investor discussions have frequently brought up prospective details about the $25,000 EV, as some believe that more information about the car's plans would be a significant advantage:
“Whether Tesla provides more details or unveils the new lower-cost model at the 10/10 event has also been a frequent topic in our investor discussions.”
Tesla has been discussing a low-cost electric vehicle for an extended period; however, the company has deferred from providing any information regarding the matter during earnings calls.
Elon Musk denied a report by Reuters earlier this year that Tesla had abandoned the project entirely:
It is difficult to imagine that Tesla would divert from its primary objective, the Robotaxi platform, and its intention to implement it as a commercial ride-sharing service.
Nevertheless, the event was postponed, and Musk did indicate that "a few other things" would be demonstrated. He did not provide any specific information regarding the nature of those items.
