AI Analyst Sees Upside for TSLA Stock
According to TipRanks A.I., TSLA stock currently scores 76 out of 100 based on Google’s (GOOGL) Gemini 2.5 model. It also assigns Tesla a price target of $490.0, implying an upside of more than 20% from current levels. On the other hand, Wall Street analysts have a price target of $384.14, which is 5% below the current price level.
AI Analysis Reveals Key Strengths and Weaknesses
Tesla’s bullish outlook is supported by several key strengths. First, the company reported a 6% year-over-year and 27% quarter-over-quarter jump in Automotive revenues, keeping the company on a steady growth path. Second, Tesla’s progress in Full Self-Driving (FSD) and its push into robotaxis reinforce its lead in autonomous technology and could unlock major new revenue opportunities.
Finally, Tesla’s expanding energy business—especially with growing Megapack deployments—adds another layer of growth, helping diversify the company beyond vehicles and strengthening its position in the clean-energy market. Below is a screenshot showing Tesla’s revenue growth over the years.
On the flip side, the A.I. Analyst flags several challenges that could limit its long-term growth. Slow adoption of FSD remains a major hurdle, potentially delaying the payoff of its autonomous technology investments. Additionally, production challenges with Optimus may slow the robot’s rollout, postponing both market entry and the revenue Tesla expects from this new product line. Together, these factors create meaningful risks for Tesla’s future performance.

On the bearish side, Wells Fargo’s Colin Langan sees over 70% downside in TSLA stock from current levels and maintains a Sell rating. Langan pointed out “widespread weakness” in the company’s latest vehicle deliveries across the U.S., EU, South Korea, and China.
