Tesla Austin Plant Halts for a Week: Buy the Dip Before Robotaxi Test?

$tsla and Elon can surprise. A wild theory.    There's been reports of Tesla kept in parking lots.  What if they're kept for rollout of robotaxi?  If true this means Tesla can scale very quickly.   It'll be huge.

There are many who believe that TSLA will hit new highs like $400 - $500 in the near future. And peeps like Cathie Wood believes that TSLA can go north of $2000. I'm not a firm believer but I think TSLA has the propensity of rising that high eh. Looking of a 2030 timeline for example. Won't be surprised if TSLA hits that price target. @BABY SPACEROCK  @LULU ROCKET  @MouInvestment  @TigerObserver

I'd love to believe in TSLA's future but then it's sales are damn bad. Ghosh, it's the only stock thar runs even when ER is damn bad. Gods knows why. Either Elon has some serious crazed supporters or idk what else. Never a fan of Elon but I don't wanna watch him fall too. So yups, wishing his robotaxi biz all the best and may I get to sit in one when I go over to USA. @Bubble5728  @BABY SPACEROCK  @Surewin88  @LULU ROCKET  @JSTan  @SPACE ROCKET

Can robotitaxi fuel a breakout though? That remains to be seen. TSLA is an erratic stock because ELON is as erratic. And ELON is mixing with erratic TRUMP. How the stock fares is gonna be dependent on these factors, besides just sales figures alone. @JiaDeName @BABY SPACEROCK

For $Tesla Motors(TSLA)$  investors, Elon Musk's "tentative" June 22nd robotaxi launch in Austin feels less like a guaranteed stock surge and more like a textbook "sell the news" event. With core EV sales facing undeniable pressure, the hype around robotaxis is already baked into TSLA's lofty valuation. Musk's vision of hundreds of thousands of robotaxis by late next year is grand, but the initial reality is a mere 10-20 geofenced vehicles. This pilot, while a step, is a far cry from the mass-market deployment needed to truly justify the current optimism or fundamentally transform Tesla's financial picture overnight. The market has been anticipating this for ages. Will a limited rollout be enough to keep the mom

The Unseen Revolution: Tesla’s Robotaxi Pilot in Austin as a Cultural Time Machine English Version As Tesla gears up for its robotaxi pilot launch in Austin on June 22, 2025, the narrative often centers on technology, safety, and market competition. However, a unique perspective emerges when we view this event not just as a transportation milestone, but as a cultural time machine—propelling humanity into a past of communal reliance while simultaneously hurtling us into a future of machine-driven autonomy. This dual nature challenges the conventional hype and invites a deeper exploration. A Return to the Commons The robotaxi pilot, with its initial fleet of 10-20 Model Y vehicles, evokes the historical concept of shared resources, reminiscent of communal carriages or early public transit sy

The stock has pumped up from 285 just a few weeks back sitting at 330. I cleared my option positions. Whether they launch Robotaxi or not on the 22nd, the revenue isn't going to change. Might be some profit taking and an opportunity to go back in. For my stock positions, holding onto that as Tesla could quickly pivot it's production lines to robotaxis if the demand ramps up towards the end of the year.

Current market sentiment towards Tesla is mixed and highly volatile, largely influenced by recent events. Negative Sentiment:  Several factors contribute to negative sentiment. The conflict between Elon Musk and Donald Trump significantly impacted Tesla's stock price, causing substantial losses. Concerns about slowing sales, particularly in key markets like Europe, further fueled negativity. Analysts have lowered price targets, reflecting concerns about the company's growth prospects and the impact of increased competition in the electric vehicle market. Additionally, Musk's political activities have damaged the brand's image and affected investor confidence. The overall market downturn and concerns about economic growth have also negatively impacted Tesla's stock performance. Positiv

Tesla has teased it for years, and now the world may finally be on the verge of seeing it hit the streets: Robotaxi. No steering wheels. No pedals. Full autonomy. If Tesla delivers on this vision, we’re not just talking about a product — we’re talking about the foundation of a trillion-dollar industry. Could this be the spark that ignites Tesla’s next breakout? 🚗 Why Robotaxi Is a Game Changer Robotaxi isn’t just another EV. It represents a completely new business model: transportation-as-a-service. Instead of just selling cars, Tesla could start earning recurring revenue from autonomous rides, tapping into markets currently dominated by Uber and Lyft — but without human drivers. If even a fraction of Tesla’s fleet becomes self-driving, it could unlock: Massive margins from software-based

$Tesla Motors(TSLA)$ $Uber(UBER)$ $NVIDIA(NVDA)$ 🚨⚡🤖 Tesla’s $2,600 Trajectory: I’m All In on the RoboTaxi Breakout 🤖⚡🚨 The $TSLA monthly chart is one of the cleanest bullish structures I’ve seen in years. We’ve broken out of a multi-year wedge, retested with precision, and closed strong at $325.30, up 1.94 percent on the day. It wasn’t just a technical win. Under the surface, the option and momentum analytics are lighting up, and I’m positioned with conviction. Cathie Wood is holding firm on her $2,600 long-term target. While most of Wall Street still struggles to price autonomy, AI, and network effects into their models, I see Tesla transforming in real time. A
