UBS has downgraded Tesla’s rating to ‘sell’, citing overvaluation of growth opportunities and a delayed robotaxi launch. Analysts believe that Tesla will only reach 3.9 million vehicles by 2030, which is lower than the forecasted 5 million units. They also see more downside than upside for Tesla’s stock market value. The current valuation of Tesla is mainly attributed to non-auto business initiatives such as Tesla Energy, artificial intelligence, full self-driving, and robotaxis. Tesla shares fell 8% after the announcement of the delayed robotaxi launch.
