At Surgevesting, our approach to investing is rooted in long-term vision and innovation, and few companies exemplify that as well as Tesla (TSLA). It remains a holding in our mutual fund, where we hold the stock at an average cost of $174.51. Despite today's 7% drop following Tesla's latest event, we’re still up 26% on our position and bought additional shares. So, why do we remain confident in Tesla's future? It all comes down to their relentless focus on artificial intelligence (AI), robotics, and autonomous technology.
The Event: Market Disappointment, But Innovation Thrives
Tesla’s recent event focused on Robotaxis and their broader AI ambitions. While some investors were hoping for more detailed rollout timelines and technical specifics, the market’s response was overwhelmingly negative, sending the stock down. Critics pointed to the lack of clarity around when fully autonomous vehicles would be widely available, and some were unimpressed by the concept of Tesla’s $30,000 Cybercab Robovan, designed for rideshare services. The press and analysts labeled the event as “short on details,” which fueled some of the bearish sentiment.
However, at Surgevesting, we viewed the event through a different lens. Tesla has always been a visionary company, and this event was no exception. Even if the financial and operational details were sparse, Tesla's continued focus on integrating AI and robotics into their business plan shows where the real growth potential lies. This is the kind of future-oriented innovation that excites us about Tesla.
The Robotaxi Revolution
One of the biggest takeaways from the event was Tesla’s push towards robotaxi fleets, which will run entirely on their autonomous driving software. Elon Musk introduced the concept of a Tesla Cybercab, a low-cost electric vehicle specifically designed for ridesharing and urban mobility. These vehicles, envisioned at a price point of around $30,000, are expected to disrupt traditional taxi services and personal car ownership.
Imagine a city where electric robotaxis dominate the streets, picking up passengers autonomously, all while generating recurring revenue for Tesla. While it’s true the event didn’t provide a precise launch date for the fleet, the long-term implications are enormous. If Tesla can achieve this vision, it would not only revolutionize the auto industry but also transform urban transportation as we know it.
Although the market punished the stock today, it’s worth remembering that Tesla’s big ideas often take time to mature. Musk has previously acknowledged that full autonomy is a tough technical challenge, but Tesla continues to refine its Full Self-Driving (FSD) software. What makes Tesla’s approach different from competitors is that they’re aiming for a comprehensive AI solution that could eventually make human drivers obsolete.
AI and Robotics: The Real Game-Changers
While autonomous vehicles took the spotlight, the event also demonstrated Tesla’s advancements in robotics and AI. Musk and his team emphasized how integral AI is to Tesla's future, not only for self-driving but for other robotics applications. One of the most exciting parts of the presentation was the potential for humanoid robots powered by Tesla’s AI software.
Tesla has been developing its humanoid robot, known as Optimus, designed to perform a wide range of tasks, from manual labor in factories to household chores. While some may still think of robots as part of a distant sci-fi future, Tesla is positioning itself to make this technology a reality sooner than expected. The company’s AI Day events have shown just how advanced their neural networks and machine learning systems are becoming. The potential here isn’t just limited to cars or homes—Tesla’s AI could power entire industries.
By focusing on developing general-purpose AI, Tesla is laying the foundation for a future where machines handle many of the labor-intensive or dangerous tasks currently performed by humans. This not only has broad societal implications but also represents significant business opportunities for Tesla. Their robots and AI systems could be deployed across factories, logistics centers, and more, leading to entirely new revenue streams.
Why We’re Staying the Course
So, why are we holding Tesla when others may be selling? It comes down to long-term potential. Tesla has a history of visionary thinking that often takes time for the market to understand. Just like in the early days of electric vehicles, many doubted whether Tesla could deliver on its ambitious promises. Fast-forward to today, and Tesla is the leading electric vehicle maker globally, with a market cap that dwarfs traditional automakers.
The same could happen with Tesla’s AI and robotics initiatives. The robotaxi concept, while met with skepticism today, could reshape the auto industry in the coming years, and the humanoid robots could redefine the future of work. Betting against Tesla has often proven costly in the past, and we believe the company's leadership in these emerging technologies will pay off in the long run.
Furthermore, we see today’s 7% dip as a short-term overreaction. Investors often focus on immediate results, but we believe in the importance of vision and execution over time. The 26% gain we’re seeing in our position reaffirms that Tesla is a strong growth stock with the potential to deliver even more significant returns as they continue to innovate.
Final Thoughts
Tesla is more than just a car company—it’s a technology company with its sights set on autonomous driving, AI, and robotics. The recent event may not have satisfied Wall Street’s craving for details, but it provided a glimpse into the future that Tesla is building. And we’re excited to be part of that journey.
As we look forward, Surgevesting remains committed to Tesla as a core holding in our fund, confident that the company’s bold bets on AI and robotics will continue to drive significant value for our investors. If you believe in a future driven by technology, innovation, and autonomy, Tesla is a stock worth holding.
