Tesla can still be a buy, but

Tesla can still be a buy, but it depends on your view and patience.

Tesla is no longer just a car company. Its value story is mainly about technology, scale, and optional upside. EV margins may be under pressure short term, but Tesla still leads in battery tech, software, and manufacturing efficiency. Few competitors can match its cost structure or global footprint.

The real upside comes from long-term bets like autonomy, AI, energy storage, and charging infrastructure. If even one of these scales meaningfully, it changes Tesla’s earnings profile. That said, the stock is volatile and sensitive to rate expectations, competition from China, and demand cycles.

For long-term investors, Tesla makes sense if you believe in its tech edge and are comfortable riding out swings. For short-term traders, timing matters more because news flow can move the stock sharply.

Tesla All-In on AI! Optimus Gen 3 Coming, the Right Bet?

Tesla (TSLA) reported a pivotal Q4: revenue fell 3% YoY—its first annual decline—yet EPS beat expectations, gross margin rebounded above 20%, and energy storage deployments hit a record 14.2 GWh (+29%). Operationally, Tesla is accelerating its AI roadmap: unsupervised Robotaxi trials began in Austin, Cybercab, Semi, and Megapack 3 are set for production this year, and Optimus aims to enter mass production by year-end. Management guided >$20B capex in 2026 Can Robotaxi and Optimus timelines materially change Tesla’s earnings narrative in 2026?
