It's simultaneously true that Tesla has delivered some very nice cars, and that they haven't been able to deliver a fully-autonomous "full self driving" experience. That's why it's so weird that they're (apparently) abandoning their plans for an affordable EV and going all in on robotaxis.

Tesla's track record of bait-and-switch promises and lack of credibility leads me to believe they do not have anything to show for, and the robotaxi claim is yet another desperate attempt to keep the stock prices afloat.
About 100 have been built and PepsiCo are the first customers. They were obviously prioritizing Model Y ramp up, which went from 0 to 1.15m units in 2023, the world best selling car model, in just a couple years.
Idk why you need to get conspiratorial. Tesla employees have confirmed they're using the Semi trucks to drive battery packs between Nevada and Fremont factory, and that they have a fleet of 100 of them as of 4 months ago. PepsiCo has confirmed use of them.
Stock Market 101 would educate one that just because a company is doing well, doesn't mean it's balance sheet and income statement currently indicate it's a good value to buy. But yes, I did ride Tesla stock from a $40b market cap company to $700b, thanks to an educated analysis.
These are basic facts that are priced in. Also my comment: "Stock Market 101 would educate one that just because a company is doing well, doesn't mean it's balance sheet and income statement currently indicate it's a good value to buy."
Sold on promises that have never been delivered. And they're still selling "FSD" for an insane amount. Elon seems to be America's favorite grifter at the moment.
