Tesla’s “huge week,” which features a quarterly supply report with main implications and a Robotaxi unveiling occasion that might really set the tone for the corporate shifting ahead, is about to get the automaker again on observe with its huge image story, Wedbush stated in a brand new observe.
That’s, if Tesla can come by on each.
Wedbush put out its third observe up to now two weeks on Tuesday morning, all making an attempt to set a very good narrative for what the Q3 supply figures and Robotaxi occasion might imply for the inventory.
It’s no secret Tesla has been comparatively lackluster by way of inventory efficiency in 2024. It’s solely up 2.36 % for the yr, however a supply beat for Q3, which might set the tone for This fall, and a sturdy and informational Robotaxi unveiling occasion, might each assist finish the yr with extra progress.
Wedbush’s Dan Ives supplied some coloration on the supply image within the observe:
“After a bumpy 1H for Musk & Co. as the corporate noticed softer EV demand together with the broader business earlier within the yr, we consider 3Q will present a stable rebound seeking to 2H for the corporate as China continues to warmth up and value/demand stabilization has repeatedly been seen all through the quarter.”
As for the Robotaxi unveiling occasion, Ives stated:
“Subsequent Thursday, October tenth, Tesla shall be internet hosting its long-awaited “We, Robotic” Robotaxi occasion after the market on the Warner Bros. film studio in Los Angeles, which we shall be attending reside for this historic occasion. We consider Robotaxi Day shall be a seminal and historic day for Musk and Tesla and marks a brand new chapter of progress round autonomous, FSD, and AI future at Tesla. We proceed to consider Tesla is probably the most undervalued AI identify available in the market, and we anticipate Musk & Co. to unveil some “game-changing” autonomous expertise at this occasion subsequent week.”
Wedbush has excessive expectations for the Robotaxi unveiling occasion. Tesla has hyped it up loads. Musk has agreed it could possibly be the greatest occasion for Tesla for the reason that Mannequin 3 unveiling. Whereas it could possibly be groundbreaking, there’s a lot to contemplate, particularly the truth that a lackluster occasion could possibly be extra damaging than complimenting to the Tesla story.
The observe pushes Tesla to replace buyers on Cybercab scaling, the general value per mile, a rideshare app, and an indication of the capabilities. These are almost checked out as non-negotiables for the occasion, and if Tesla doesn’t give you a show of this stuff, shareholders might come away dissatisfied.

That’s not to say will probably be a whole failure. One other observe from Barclays on Monday famous that some Tesla shareholders shall be “entrenched” of their outlook on the corporate, and even when the Robotaxi unveiling is flat and disappointing, it’s unlikely to vary a lot.
Nonetheless, Wedbush believes the Robotaxi occasion is the following step in Tesla’s strong story as an organization:
“With only a few business occasions as extensively anticipated as this, we consider Musk will tackle the near-term ache factors seen by buyers and the corporate’s long-term imaginative and prescient as Tesla goes by its second transformation not seen for the reason that Mannequin 3/Y manufacturing overhaul.”
