Gary Black Warns Tesla Lags Waymo in Autonomy Race Despite Strong Q3 Deliveries
Yahoo Finance ·
Tesla surpassed analyst expectations by delivering 486,532 vehicles in the third quarter, dropping only 2% year-over-year. However, Future Fund managing partner Gary Black emphasized that market attention is pivoting toward unsupervised autonomy, where Tesla is increasingly trailing Alphabet's Waymo. While Waymo operates over 4,000 driverless vehicles across 15 U.S. metropolitan areas, Tesla's rollout remains far behind management's initial guidance. Black noted that although Tesla's Full Self-Driving technology holds theoretical advantages, execution bottlenecks and slower expansion compared to its competitors present a formidable challenge for the EV pioneer moving forward.
AI 시장 분석
Tesla delivered 486,532 vehicles in the third quarter, outperforming market expectations of 461,974 units. However, it was pointed out that Waymo is significantly ahead of Tesla, operating about 4,000 driverless vehicles across 15 cities. Investors should focus on the speed of commercialization and expansion of autonomous driving rather than simple vehicle delivery numbers.
상승 영향
- Electric Vehicles — Tesla delivered 486,532 units in Q3, exceeding the market consensus of 461,974 units and proving demand stability.
하락 영향
- Autonomous Driving — Tesla's driverless commercialization fell short of management guidance, and Waymo pulled ahead in 15 cities, intensifying competitive pressure.
DYAX 전담 분석
Tesla's strong Q3 deliveries had a positive short-term impact on the stock price, but concerns over delayed full self-driving (FSD) commercialization emerged as a core risk. While Waymo has already secured driverless services in multiple cities, Tesla is evaluated as lacking execution relative to its goals.
A bullish scenario is that Tesla rapidly expands its autonomous driving approval regions based on FSD's overwhelming technological prowess, while a bearish scenario involves regulatory barriers and widening gaps with competitors. Key indicators include the growth rate of driverless mileage and the number of additional city approvals.
