Tesla has halted the production of its Model S and X vehicles to concentrate on manufacturing Optimus humanoid robots at its Fremont factory. According to NS3.AI, this strategic shift comes in the wake of a 3% decline in overall revenue and an 11% drop in automotive revenue. Despite these challenges, Tesla's stock has appreciated by 24% over the past year, with the company's market valuation nearing $1.8 trillion.
Analysts are divided on the potential success of Tesla's move into robotics. While the average price target for Tesla in 2026 indicates a 15% increase, there are ongoing concerns about the feasibility of delivering and generating revenue from the Optimus robot. The company's ability to transition successfully into this new market remains a topic of debate among industry experts.
