Tesla, Inc. (NASDAQ:TSLA) is one of the 10 Must-Watch AI Stocks for Investors. On August 19, William Blair analyst Jed Dorsheimer reiterated a Market Perform rating on Tesla (NASDAQ: TSLA). The rating affirmation follows the demo of Tesla’s robotaxi service in Austin prior to the September public launch.

“Our main takeaway was that we experienced a glimpse of the future, and it is exciting. The comparisons are immediate and stark—multiple times we drove past Waymo and Zoox vehicles outfitted with their complex sensor suite that stick out like a sore thumb. In contrast, the robotaxis blended in with all the other Teslas on the road; we felt inconspicuous flowing with the traffic.”

The firm stated that Tesla’s autonomous vehicles have been blending in with all the other Teslas on the road, unlike Waymo and Zoox who sport complex sensor suites that “stick out like a sore thumb.”

“Confirming our thesis, robotaxi was half the price of Uber (UBER $93.98; Outperform), demonstrating its ability to win market share by weaponizing price. Despite our enthusiasm for robotaxi, we acknowledge there is a period of margin headwinds that investors must endure from pending regulatory cuts as part of the OBBB, and thus, we maintain our Market Perform rating.”

Tesla, Inc. (NASDAQ:TSLA) is an automotive and clean energy company that leverages advanced artificial intelligence in its autonomous driving technology and robotics initiatives.
