<ul class="summary-bullets"><li>Deliveries are poised to fall for a second straight year and 2026 growth expectations diverge sharply between Wall Street and more cautious investors.</li><li>The investment debate hinges on non-auto upside, with bulls betting on FSD, robotaxis, and Optimus.</li><li>But skeptics argue that weak auto performance limits funding and upside for these initiatives.</li></ul>Tesla, Inc.’s (TSLA) stock is on track to outperform the consumer discretionary sector this year, helped in part by the robotaxi chatter that picked up pace in the&nbsp;last few months of the year,&nbsp;even as the flagship electric vehicle (EV) business&nbsp;sagged.Negative headlines surrounding Tesla’s EV business continue to emerge. Earlier this week, Bloomberg&nbsp;<a class="st-link-external" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" href="https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2025-12-29/tesla-cybertruck-flop-proves-costly-for-south-korean-supplier">reported</a> that Tesla’s contract value with South Korean supplier L&amp;F Co. has been slashed by 99%.&nbsp;<img src="https://news.stocktwits-cdn.com/TSLA_Vs_XLY_Vs_SPY_png_f9bd0033f8.webp" alt="TSLA Vs XLY Vs SPY.png">Source: Koyfin<h2 class="st-heading-2">Maturing Automotive Business?</h2>Automotive deliveries growth hasn’t really picked up after the spurt seen in the aftermath of the COVID-19 pandemic. After peaking at 83% in the second quarter of 2023, year-over-year sales growth either slowed or turned negative. The third quarter of 2025 marked a recovery after two consecutive quarters of decline; however, the 7.4% growth rate remained well below the nearly 122% surge recorded in the second quarter of 2021, when Model Y sales soared following its 2020 launch.<img src="https://news.stocktwits-cdn.com/Tesla_Delivery_Growth_Loses_Momentum_png_6657350bc1.webp" alt="Tesla_Delivery_Growth_Loses_Momentum.png">Source: Fiscal.aiTesla for the first time publicly&nbsp;shared the consensus delivery forecast for the fourth quarter, ahead&nbsp;of the formal release scheduled for Jan. 2. The company-compiled consensus analyst forecast for the quarter is 422,850. If the estimate proves accurate, the company is on track to report annual deliveries of 1.641 million, down 8.3% from 1.79 million in 2024. Incidentally, it would also mark the second straight year of sales decline.The automotive segment, which includes vehicle sales, regulatory credits, and leasing revenue, still accounts for a lion’s share of Tesla's revenue.<figure class="image"><img style="aspect-ratio:600/371;" src="https://news.stocktwits-cdn.com/Tesla_s_Q3_25_Revenue_Break_down_png_39c10d5776.webp" alt="Tesla's Q3'25 Revenue Break-down.png" width="600" height="371"></figure>&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;Chart generated using company data&nbsp;The outlook isn’t very optimistic either. While the consensus view shared by Tesla shows that the company might return to growth in 2026, which, though, is likely to be anemic (6.7%), Deepwater Asset Management’s Gene Munster predicts a big miss. In his 2026 predictions, the fund manager said he expects 2026 sales to be flat to up 5% as opposed to Wall Street’s consensus forecast for 16% delivery growth.If the auto business continues to be weak, one of the worst hit could be Musk himself. His $1 trillion pay package, which the Delaware Supreme Court recently cleared, is predicated on the company’s market cap hitting $8.5 trillion, while also meeting the following operational performance:-achieving up to $400 billion in earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization (EBITDA)-delivering 20 million cars cumulatively-selling 1 million robots-selling 10 million FSD subscriptions- operating 1 million robotaxis<h2 class="st-heading-2">Non-Autos To Drive Investment Case?</h2>Munster, though downbeat on the core auto business, says his investment case doesn’t change, and it is still predicated on full self-driving software, robotaxis, and Optimusm humanoid robots. He also opined that robotaxis without a safety driver will likely get regulatory clearance by the end of the year.&nbsp;Morgan Stanley’s Andrew Percoco, who downgraded Tesla to ‘Equal-Weight’ from ‘Overweight’ earlier this month, sees a challenging catalyst path over the next 12 months, presenting downside risk to consensus estimates. At the same time, the analyst believes the positive catalysts for its non-auto business are already reflected in the stock price. Emphasizing the importance of the auto business, the analyst said:<blockquote>“While it is well understood that Tesla is more than an auto manufacturer, we believe it will be increasingly challenging to support meaningful upside to Tesla shares barring an improvement, or at least stabilization, within its auto business, which is a key source of funding for its non-auto businesses.”</blockquote>Tesla bull Daniel Ives, however, sees 2026 as a “monster year” for Tesla as the autonomous and robotics chapter begins.&nbsp;<blockquote>“We expect in early 2026 an easing of the federal framework for autonomous vehicles, with more power going to the federal regulators, with states having less authority on the autonomous rules framework likely under an Executive Order.”</blockquote>The analyst expects Tesla to reach a $2 trillion market capitalization by 2026, with a bull-case scenario pointing to as much as $3 trillion by year-end.<h2 class="st-heading-2">What Retail Traders &amp; Analysts Feel About TSLA</h2>Retail sentiment toward the Tesla stock was ‘bearish’ as of early Tuesday, tempering from the bullish mood seen three months ago, when it began gathering some momentum.<figure class="image"><img style="aspect-ratio:720/443;" src="https://news.stocktwits-cdn.com/Screenshot_2025_12_30_at_5_24_45_AM_png_773bc87677.webp" alt="Screenshot 2025-12-30 at 5.24.45 AM.png" width="720" height="443"></figure>&nbsp;According to Koyfin, the average analyst price target for Tesla’s stock is $399.15, implying more than 13% downside from current levels.

Autonomous Robotaxi rides are currently being offered in Austin, Texas. To get started, download the Robotaxi app,” the refreshed page read.“Cybercab, our purpose-built fully autonomous vehicle, will offer rides in your area in the future.”The company also shared a video highlighting the service's accessibility. “Our Robotaxi vehicles are designed to support various accessibility needs, including space for service animals and room to store some wheelchairs and other assistive devices.”<a href="https://stocktwits.com/symbol/TSLA">Tesla stock</a> has returned more than 16% this year, thanks to the late-year momentum it picked up.<img src="https://news.stocktwits-cdn.com/Tesla_stock_png_3be4cd757a.webp" alt="Tesla stock.png">Source: KoyfinDoes this mean Tesla is finally hitting all the right notes with respect to a service that Cathie Wood’s Ark Invest touts as a $10 trillion opportunity globally?<h2 class="st-heading-2">Waymo Leads As US Robotaxi Race Accelerates</h2>The U.S. robotaxi market is currently dominated by Alphabet’s Waymo, Amazon-owned Zoox, and Tesla.

Public services are launching shortly in a slew of other U.S. cities, such as Dallas, Denver, Detroit, Houston, Las Vegas, and Washington, as well as in London. The company is also planning and testing services in more cities, including Tokyo, Japan, and also operates fully autonomous vehicles in Miami without safety operators.Amazon’s Zoox received an exemption from the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) in August to test its custom robotaxis on public roads. Zoox’s services are now active in eight cities, including Atlanta, Austin, Las Vegas, Miami, the San Francisco Bay Area and Seattle.Tesla launched its robotaxi service in Austin in late June. Although the size of the robotaxi fleet operated in Austin isn’t known, Musk said in a post on X in late November that “The Tesla Robotaxi fleet in Austin should roughly double next month.”&nbsp; Recently, a video shared by Tesla AI senior software engineer Phil Duan showed a Model Y running the full self-driving (FSD) service without a safety driver in Austin, which made a splash on social media.The company is also rapidly scaling up robotaxi operations in California.

Musk countered a statement from Tesla’s erstwhile AI Director, Andrej Karpathy, who said both Waymo’s and Tesla’s appear to offer the “perfect drive.”&nbsp; Calling Andrej’s understanding “dated,” Musk said:<blockquote>“Tesla AI software has advanced vastly beyond what it was when he left. The intelligence density per GB of Tesla AI is at least an order of magnitude better than anything else out there.”</blockquote><h2 class="st-heading-2">Competition Heats Up In China</h2>Outside of the U.S., China is seeing cut-throat competition as more and more robotaxi operators&nbsp;make rapid strikes.
