Market views on Tesla\'s long-term investment appeal are diverging again. Analysts say slowing growth in vehicle sales contrasts with expectations for expansion in self-driving, AI and energy that continue to support a high valuation. Tesla trades at a lofty price-to-earnings multiple, while quarterly results show revenue and profit growth and record energy storage deployments. Wall Street ratings lean toward hold, with wide-ranging target prices reflecting uncertainty over execution.

Tesla has disclosed for the first time details of 17 self-driving test crash reports it previously filed with the U.S. National Highway Traffic Safety Administration. The incidents occurred during robotaxi trial operations in Austin, Texas, from July 2025 to March 2026, involving 2026 Model Y vehicles with autonomy active and a safety monitor aboard. Most resulted only in property damage, though several involved minor injuries. Two crashes occurred after a remote driver took control following requests for assistance.
