Tesla stock focuses on robotaxi over deliveries
Tesla's weak delivery expectations—Q4 around 426,000, down about 15% from Q3, and full-year around 1.64 million, down about 8.3%—are becoming less important to the stock. Tesla shares continue to move higher because investors are focused on robotaxi and autonomous vehicle development, even though the robotaxi rollout has not met Musk's end-2025 launch target and remains in testing.
