Tesla News Roundup

Here are the key news stories impacting Tesla this week:

• Positive Sentiment: Tigress Financial initiated coverage with a Buy rating and a $550 price target, signaling sell‑side expectations for meaningful upside if Tesla executes its pivot to robotics and autonomy. Tigress Initiates Coverage
• Positive Sentiment: Tesla is rolling out FSD monetization (subscription push) and continues to cite large supervised‑miles safety data — both expand recurring revenue potential and help justify a valuation tied to software/autonomy, not just cars. FSD Subscriptions Analysis
• Positive Sentiment: Longer term, bullish narratives around Optimus and Tesla’s robotics pivot (large TAM commentary and analyst pieces) support a structural re‑rating if execution continues — this is why some investors look past near‑term auto softness. Optimus Opportunity
• Neutral Sentiment: Tesla cut Cybertruck pricing (new base at ~$59,990; Cyberbeast reduced to $99,990) to drive demand — this could boost volumes but may compress margins; the immediate market reaction has been muted. Cybertruck Price Cut
• Neutral Sentiment: Large hedge funds and managers show mixed positioning: some boosted TSLA stakes (Viking Global, Woodline), others trimmed — this creates two‑way flows that can amplify intraday volatility. Institutional Trades
• Negative Sentiment: A federal judge denied Tesla’s request to overturn a $243M jury award tied to a fatal Autopilot crash, making the liability judgment stick — an explicit legal and reputational headwind that increases near‑term risk and potential cash exposure. Autopilot Verdict Upheld
• Negative Sentiment: Analyst and investor skepticism about demand for the cheaper Cybertruck trim (comments that it may not increase volumes meaningfully) keeps the sales/earnings risk front‑and‑center for short‑term traders. Cybertruck Skepticism
