Some Good and Bad News for Tesla Investors
Yahoo Finance ·
With all the excitement around Space Exploration Technologies , or SpaceX, still fresh in investors' minds, it's understandable if Tesla ( TSLA 2.18% ) has somewhat faded from investor attention. However, that shouldn't detract from the fact that there's been news on the company recently, some of it good, some bad, and more to come in the near term. Tesla is behind schedule on its robotaxi rollout. While recognizing that the rollout is not entirely under the company's control, the reality is that investors key in on what management tells them. Unfortunately, Tesla is not a company known for underpromising and overdelivering, especially when it comes to the robotaxi rollout. Back on an earnings call in July 2025, CEO Elon Musk said, "I think we'll probably have autonomous ride-hailing in probably half the population of the U.S. by the end of the year." Furthermore, going back to the fourth-quarter earnings presentation in January, the company said the robotaxi "status" for seven cities was "H1 2026." That was later changed to "ramping unsupervised" for Dallas and Houston, and "preparations underway" for Phoenix, Miami, Orlando, Tampa, and Las Vegas. Having passed the half-year mark, only Miami has been added to the list of cities with unsupervised robotaxis (and only in a limited section of Miami), after Dallas and Houston were added in the first quarter and Austin in the last quarter.
