Tesla (TSLA) just confirmed it will wind down Cybertruck production at Gigafactory Texas by mid 2027, refunding many deposits as it clears the backlog and redirects capacity toward the Cybercab robotaxi program.
Tesla shares now trade at US$379.78, with a 90 day share price return of 16% that contrasts with a year to date share price decline of 13%. The 3 year total shareholder return of 60% highlights how longer term holders have still seen sizeable gains despite the past year's 14% fall in total shareholder return.

Tesla now leans hard into robotaxis, yet the share price already reflects a long record of big promises and mixed delivery. At US$379.78, is the current mix of execution risk and autonomy upside still skewed in favour of buyers?
Tesla closed at $379.78, while the most followed community valuation pegs fair value closer to $600.82. That gap is exactly what the leading Tesla narrative, written by Ledora, an investor in the Simply Wall St Community, tries to explain around robotaxis, AI and cash generation.
The positive side is that stronger cash generation and improving automotive margins could help support the business while it invests in future technologies. The concern is whether the current business can generate enough sustainable profit to justify the expectations surrounding AI, robotaxis and humanoid robotics.

Result: Fair Value of $600.82 (UNDERVALUED)
Still, Tesla's robotaxi pivot faces clear risks if autonomy rollouts slow or capital spending cuts near US$20b, which could restrain progress on high-cost projects.
Find out about the key risks to this Tesla narrative.
The community narrative argues Tesla is 37% undervalued at a fair value of $600.82. Our DCF model presents a very different picture. On that framework, Tesla is trading above an estimated future cash flow value of $148.67, which indicates an overvalued stock rather than a bargain.
That kind of gap suggests a straightforward trade off for you as an investor. Either the cash flows eventually rise to meet today's price, or the share price does more of the work. Which side of that trade off do you think is doing the heavy lifting right now?
