Part 9/12:
Despite the promising milestones, Tesla’s stock has not yet fully responded to the Robo Taxi news. The stock remains in a cautious phase, with the market awaiting concrete signs of expansion and demonstrating patience. There are still many uncertainties, such as the actual rate of vehicle deployment, regulatory hurdles, and operational efficiency.
Tesla’s strategy appears to involve "sandbagging" initial figures—deliberately underestimating early deployment numbers to build stronger future growth narratives. For example, reports from Tesla enthusiasts suggest that the number of Robo Taxis already operational might be significantly higher than disclosed, with some eyewitnesses spotting autonomous vehicles without drivers on highways just outside Austin, indicating rapid expansion.
