Driverless cars are speeding onto America's streets, but whether the public will trust robotaxis remains an open question. Nearly two-thirds of Americans said they would not want to ride in a driverless passenger vehicle if they had the opportunity, according to a Pew Research Center Survey. Tesla's upcoming robotaxi launch threatens to throw the whole autonomous vehicle space off course. Alphabet -owned Waymo is the leader in the space, with the company claiming it has notched more than 22 million driverless miles. Uber has hedged its bets by inking high-profile deals with autonomous vehicle companies, but it's unclear how long those partnerships will last.

Elon Musk has a big task this week: convincing investors that Tesla is more than just a car company. It may do so once again as Elon Musk prepares to use the studio lot to tell another story: that Tesla is more than just a car company. The long-awaited event — originally scheduled for August — is meant to give weight to the electric vehicle maker's pitch that it is a tech company first and a car company second. Meanwhile, in July, Wedbush analyst Dan Ives claimed the "Tesla AI story could be worth $1 trillion-plus and is the most undervalued AI name."

For a decade, Elon Musk has championed the idea that one day Tesla cars will drive themselves as robotaxis. In the decade that Musk has promised driverless vehicles, competitors have made them. Alphabet -owned Waymo already operates a commercial robotaxi service in several U.S. cities, surpassing 100,000 paid rides per week as of August. Amazon -owned Zoox began testing rides for employees in February 2023 with ambitions to launch its own robotaxi service. Watch the video to see the road Tesla has taken to realizing its robotaxi ambitions.

Analysts are expecting Elon Musk's automaker to report about 463,310 deliveries, according to estimates compiled by FactSet StreetAccount. Tesla reported deliveries of 435,059 and production of 430,488 vehicles for the same period a year ago, before it was selling the Cybertruck. More recently, Tesla reported deliveries of 443,956 and production of 410,831 vehicles for the second quarter of 2024. Goldman Sachs last week said it expects Tesla deliveries and production "to come in-line with consensus, largely driven by the strength in the China market." Tesla brand erosionSome customer interest in buying Tesla vehicles has been chilled by the brand's strong association with Musk.

Some of it had to do with the old joke being that Best Buy was nothing but an Amazon showroom. CEO Corie Barry is a no-nonsense heavyweight who mastered the supply chain for Best Buy during the pandemic. As the JPMorgan recent upgrade on Best Buy said, most investors don't realize how awful this period has been for Best Buy. It doesn't hurt, of course that Best Buy has a substantial dividend — 3.68%, down from 4% and 5% when we were buying it. We have watched Eaton and Dover go higher and that was without the rate cycle, just with the data center.

The recent hype lifted Tesla's stock into positive territory for the year, and it's now up nearly 5% in 2024. A high-risk, high-reward venture Analysts polled by LSEG have a consensus price target of $210.71 on Tesla shares, implying a decline of 19% from Friday's close. "We believe widescale Tesla robotaxi deployment is unlikely in the coming years," Spak added. Still, the bull case around Tesla's robotaxi ambitions highlights the company's potential to provide cost-effective technology. Morgan Stanley analyst Adam Jonas is a Tesla bull with an overweight rating and a $310 price target — reflecting 19% upside.

Almost everyone else seems to want to deploy AI in some meaningful way but don't seem to know how. It's available on HP 's AI personal computers right now but hasn't really attracted a lot of interest yet — good for Club company Best Buy 's forward earnings. For some companies, companies like CVS , this is a no brainer. One that can build things or get things or just give you a cup of your coffee.

A long road It's been a long and winding road for Waymo since its inception in 2009 as Google's self-driving car project. The robotaxi service now has about 700 autonomous vehicles on the road across its markets. That changed about a year ago , when Uber added Waymo vehicles to its app. In February, Waymo recalled 444 of its vehicles after two Waymo vehicles hit a towed pickup truck in Phoenix.
