Tesla: Paying Peak Multiples For Promises That Keep Slipping (Rating Downgrade)
Impact · against what's priced in
Tesla's stock faces downward pressure as the delay of Optimus and Terafab to 2028 increases the company's dependence on FSD and robotaxis to justify its valuation. Since the market is already skeptical of a near-term robotaxi rollout, these further delays in secondary growth pillars remove potential hedges against the declining core automotive business.

- The price assumes
A modest, incremental improvement in autonomy software, but not a near-term, high-margin paradigm shift.
The market is already not paying for a wide-scale robotaxi rollout by 2027; however, the delay of Optimus and Terafab to 2028 removes other potential catalysts, leaving the valuation entirely dependent on the high-risk FSD v15 transition.
