Tesla's impressive 24.23% gain over the past month was driven by multiple catalysts.
Early September saw Tesla stock break through the resistance at $235, buoyed by strong China sales and anticipation surrounding the company's full self-driving (FSD) rollout.
What's Next For Tesla?
The upcoming Robotaxi event, scheduled for Oct. 10 in Los Angeles, is also fueling investor optimism. CEO Elon Musk has hyped this event as potentially Tesla's most significant moment since the Model 3 launch, and Wall Street bulls like Dan Ives and Adam Jonas expect key updates on FSD and autonomous driving.
Tesla's October is shaping up to be pivotal. Along with third-quarter delivery data and earnings, the highly anticipated Robotaxi event could keep momentum rolling.
Analysts are eyeing updates on operating costs, scale, and a potential 'CyberCab' unveiling, which could take Tesla's autonomous vehicle narrative to the next level.

The MACD (Moving Average Convergence/Divergence) sits at 11.56, further suggesting a bullish trend, though an RSI (Relative Strength Index) of 68.16 indicates the stock may be approaching overbought territory.
Can Tesla keep up the pace? With its Robotaxi event and solid technicals, it's worth watching closely. However, its rally could face resistance if key updates underwhelm.
