Thesis at the time
Strongly BullishTesla is entering a forcing function of robotaxi scale, Optimus humanoid deployment, and AI6 chip ramp with Samsung, which justifies a reset valuation model where even the bear case ($1,877) still represents a solid multiple and the base case projects $8,000 per share by 2030.
Key arguments
- Robotaxi will be in over 10 metropolitan areas by end of 2025.
- Optimus version 3 humanoid is brewing and likely to launch around December.
- AI6 chip with Samsung ($16.5B initial deal) will build Tesla's own real-world inference chip.
- Q3 2025 will be strong due to tax credit expiration driving rush demand; affordable sub-$30K models launch October 1 to offset Q4 credit loss.
- Base case projects 4 million robotaxis deployed by 2030, 147 million by 2040.
- Free cash flow projected at $235B on $500B revenue by 2030 in base case.
Counter-arguments acknowledged
- Bull case 6.8M robotaxis by 2030 is possible but not likely.
- Bull case 2.6M Optimus install base by 2030 is stretching the possible.
- Bear case assumes massive competition and slow Tesla execution.
