There's an interesting mismatch playing out right now. Tesla's EV deliveries are sliding, quarter after quarter—the numbers don't lie. Yet somehow, Wall Street analysts remain laser-focused on the robotaxi vision, treating it like the golden ticket that'll unlock massive returns.



It's this weird split: the bread-and-butter business is struggling, but everyone's betting the farm on tomorrow's sci-fi scenario. Either this shows incredible conviction in autonomous tech disrupting transportation as we know it, or it's a classic case of the market pricing in hope rather than current reality.

The question that matters for investors—is the robotaxi moonshot enough to carry the narrative, or are falling EV sales eventually going to drag sentiment down? Capital flows follow stories, and right now those stories are pointing in opposite directions.

What's your take? Are you buying into the robotaxi thesis, or does slowing EV sales feel like a red flag that's hard to ignore?

To be honest, this is a typical case of "storytelling ability > actual sales data"... no matter how sweet the dream of robotaxis is, it cannot hide the current decline in sales.

To be honest, believing that robotaxi can save TSL right now is too optimistic, with the decline in delivery volumes right in front of us. Robotaxis still have to wait for several years to really land, are investors speculating on a concept or do they really believe in the technology? It's hard to say. With EV sales falling like this, how long can we rely on stories alone? I think we will have to return to reality sooner or later. This operation is a bit like the Metaverse hype from a few years ago, the concept sounds good but cash flow is what really matters. Rather than betting on robotaxi, it's better to look at this year's financial report data, those are the hard indicators. Instead of getting tangled in visions, why not ask TSL how to stabilize its current business first? It feels like Wall Street analysts are telling stories, and the market is following suit, which is quite risky. I've seen this narrative from Wall Street many times, I'll wait until things calm down to take another look. Concept hype can't cover up the fact of declining sales, this logic has problems.

To be honest, this situation feels like betting on a future that hasn't even taken shape yet, while the business in hand is already bleeding. Robotaxis sound sexy, but the decline in delivery volumes is real data; can this be saved merely by narrative? I remain skeptical and will wait for concrete progress before commenting.
