Positive catalysts include Bank of America reinstating coverage with a Buy/$460 target and reports of a long FSD run without intervention, which—along with Elon Musk’s AI/humanoid ambitions—feed the robotaxi/autonomy upside narrative. Key risks remain: Tesla must submit detailed FSD data to the NHTSA by March 9 (a potential regulatory inflection), while mixed analyst ratings, regional demand weakness (UK), BNP Paribas’ cut and notable insider selling highlight downside scenarios.
