• Negative Sentiment: Competitive threat: Waymo/Alphabet and others are plowing capital into robotaxis (large recent fundraises), increasing the risk Tesla faces in autonomy — a core part of the company’s long‑term valuation. Read More.
• Negative Sentiment: Valuation and analyst divergence: Tesla’s post‑earnings P/E (~400) leaves little margin for error; some firms cut targets (Phillip Securities, JPMorgan), increasing downside risk if execution or growth disappoints. Read More.
