Time to Sell Tsla Stock? A Simple Explanation of Tesla's Valuation
Rob Maurer provides a detailed, albeit conservative, valuation analysis of Tesla (TSLA) stock, focusing on projections towards 2030. The core of his a... morergument rests on two scenarios: one assuming Tesla achieves only half its targeted vehicle delivery growth (6 million vehicles by 2030) and another projecting Tesla's ambitious 20 million vehicle target. In both scenarios, Maurer emphasizes the significant potential of Full Self-Driving (FSD) subscriptions. Even with conservative assumptions, including a 50x P/E multiple and a 25% FSD subscription take rate at $200/month, his analysis suggests a valuation significantly higher than current market levels, potentially reaching $1.3 trillion. He argues that Tesla's integrated business model, with high-margin software and services, justifies higher multiples than traditional automakers. Maurer dismisses short-seller Michael Burry's bearish outlook, expressing high confidence in his own analysis and Tesla's long-term multi-trillion dollar potential, independent of short-term stock fluctuations. less
