1) The purpose of this article is to give a different perspective to the one with the title "Owners Rent EVs To Tesla Robotaxi Fleet. Will It Take Off?"
2) Benzinga reported:
The Future Fund Managing Partner Gary Black on Sunday said that a majority of Tesla car owners will likely not want to put their cars into the company’s robotaxi fleet.
Tesla expects the company’s robotaxi fleet to function like a combination of Airbnb and Uber. While a certain portion of the fleet will be owned by Tesla, individual customers can also add or subtract their vehicles to the robotaxi fleet at will for added earnings.
Note: This is an old topic posted on 12 Dec and it was shared on 2 Jan. Gary and Uber comments were shared even earlier. Many analysts have already changed their view about Tesla robotaxi also known as Cybercab. For instance, Morgan Stanley:
If Tesla charged $1 for every mile on a robotaxi ride and gave a 75% payout to car owners and every car had 25 trips every day with every trip being roughly 6 miles long, car owners could make roughly $40,000 per year by simply renting their car to the fleet, Black said while retaining his pessimism for users not wanting to rent their cars to the company fleet.
Comment: It is well known Gary Black is conservative about Tesla stock and Waymo CEO commented Tesla is leading in Autonomous vehicles.
(10 Dec) Gary Black boosts Tesla Price Target By 27% To $380 based on 'Increased Conviction' that Tesla will launch $25K hatchback. His upgrade on the stock is not based on Tesla Robotaxi. What's a Fair Valuation for Tesla (TSLA) Today?
3) (3 Jan) Despite Tesla Q4 delivery missed target, the following analysts upgraded the stocks:
Trust Financial: Hold 238 to 351 Jefferies Financial: Hold 165 to 300 RBC Capital: Buy 249 to 313 Goldman Sachs: Hold 250 to 345 DBS: Hold 230 to 400 CCORF: Buy 298 to 404 Evercore: Hold 155 to 275 Deutsche Bank: Buy 295 to 370
Comment: The analysts believe Tesla's growth potential and Tesla Robotaxi is one of them.
4) My Take:
I am providing a different perspective (from more than one source of information) about Tesla robotaxi as compared to another post. It is a good thing to have a "broader" view about the Tesla robotaxi to avoid the herd mentality trap.
