"We do not believe Tesla will get credit as an AI company as long as core auto earnings are being revised down," wrote widely-followed Tesla bull Adam Jonas.
The $100 bear case suggests that Tesla could fall more than 40% from Wednesday's close.
These issues could hamstring Tesla near term, but Jonas expects deliveries to find a bottom in the second quarter.
In fact, he views Tesla as a combination of an auto, energy, AI and robotics stock, noting that its auto business represents only 20% of Morgan Stanley's $310 price target valuation.
The $310 price target, down from a previous $320, suggests that Tesla stands to gain 84% from Wednesday's close over the next 12 months.
