“And that means 488 should be easy.”
Thesis at the time
Strongly BullishJo Bhakdi argues Tesla is trading in a 'Goldilocks moment,' deeply undervalued relative to its improved fundamentals and sitting well below its December 2025 all-time highs. He expects the September 3rd Cybercab launch to act as a bullish catalyst and believes a sentiment rotation away from overheated AI momentum stocks could push Tesla back toward all-time highs by year-end.
Key arguments
- Tesla is trading well below its December 2025 all-time high despite the company being fundamentally stronger now (core business, Robotaxi, Optimus progress).
- The September 3rd Cybercab launch is described as a 'giant magnet' likely to pull the stock higher unless it runs up too much beforehand.
- Capital rotating out of overheated AI momentum stocks (evidenced by Bitcoin's surge) could flow back into undervalued Tesla.
- Long-term conviction that Tesla will '10x eventually' as Robotaxi and Optimus scale, even if the timeline slips.
Counter-arguments acknowledged
- The Cybercab launch could become a 'sell the news' event if the stock runs up too much beforehand (e.g., to $400-420).
- Whether Optimus can become truly general-purpose robotics remains 'a big if.'
- Macro risks like a bond market scare or geopolitical shocks could disrupt the bullish setup.
Hedges and caveats (from the video)
- Guest explicitly states 'not investment advice'
- Long-term thesis described as 'more or less guaranteed in my opinion' (opinion-based, not certain)
- Short-term options trading involves timing and tactical decisions with inherent uncertainty
- Predictions depend on specific events (Cybercab launch September 3rd, SpaceX AI revenue targets) that may not materialize as expected
- Guest acknowledges Tesla stock volatility ('even though it did it yesterday')
