1441 ET - Investors will likely focus on the pace of Tesla's robotaxi deployment when the company reports 2Q results slated for next week, according to Bank of America in a note. Tesla missed an original target of having robotaxis in nine cities by the first half of this year, with operations in five markets and four others in preparation, analysts Alexander Perry and Jack Joyce say. The Texas fleet is scaling quickly, they say, but their analysis of San Francisco robotaxis indicates that demand is still outpacing supply. They are bullish on Tesla's long-term opportunity in robotaxis, which are expected to be "the most significant change agent in the Auto 2.0 landscape, offering consumers more time, safer travel, and more accessible transportation." Tesla is off 2.5%. (elias.schisgall@wsj.com)
