On May 6, Morgan Stanley analyst Adam Jonas maintained his Buy rating on Tesla and set a price target of $410. In its Q1 2025 quarter, Tesla’s revenue declined by 9.23% year-over-year, although the revenue still totaled $19.34 billion. Elon Musk particularly emphasized Tesla’s advantage in using a generalized AI solution with cameras and its in-house designed AI chip, which he contrasted with the more expensive sensor-based approach of competitors like Waymo.

Musk also stated that the company is now focused on bringing robotaxis to Austin in June, with unsupervised autonomy initially being solved for the Model Y in Austin.

Similar to AWS or the iPhone, Full-Self-Driving and Optimus will enable new business models to be built across a wide range of industries over time…” (Click here to read the full text)
