À propos de cet audio
The last few days have been a spectacle for Tesla watchers with the company once again taking center stage in global business and tech headlines. It began with a flurry of social media teasers on X, as Tesla posted cryptic videos featuring headlights in the dark and a spinning black disk, culminating in the date October 7, fueling rampant speculation across newsrooms and trading floors alike. The consensus among major outlets such as Reuters, CNBC, and Fox Business is that Tesla is poised to finally unveil its long-anticipated affordable Model Y, a stripped-down version that insiders say is about 20 percent cheaper to produce than the current model and could be a game changer for both Tesla and the electric vehicle market at large.
Matt Britzman, senior analyst at Hargreaves Lansdown, told TechResearchOnline that this more affordable Model Y could help Tesla keep sales volumes thriving as U.S. tax credits expire, particularly since the refreshed model is expected to unlock a new tier of buyers eager for something less than $30,000. Tesla itself confirmed back in June that initial production runs of this pared-back car had begun and hinted that full-scale sales could ramp up before the end of 2025—a detail backed up by reporting from Mezha.Media, which cited Reuters estimates of up to 250,000 units produced per year by 2026 in the U.S. alone.
Meanwhile, Tesla’s Q3 numbers keep the stock in the spotlight, with the company reporting 497,099 vehicle deliveries, a figure that smashed Wall Street expectations and sent shares soaring by more than 5 percent after the teaser videos went live. This quarter’s surge, however, comes with a caveat: the expiration of the $7,500 federal EV tax credit on September 30 led to a last-minute buying frenzy. Analysts, including those at The Street and CBT News, warn this could dampen demand in upcoming quarters absent a blockbuster new launch.
On the technology front, Tesla rolled out version 14 of its Full Self-Driving software, described in several YouTube discussions and AI industry news as exhibiting “sentient” behaviors—cars that anticipate, react, and drive with more human-like intuition than ever before. There’s also been a quiet update to the Tesla robotaxi app, which some observers interpret as the next step in the company’s broader shift to autonomous and ride-sharing business models.
Wall Street has responded with a mix of excitement and caution. RBC Capital just hiked Tesla’s price target to $500, noting that the CFO’s pay package is now explicitly tied to breakthroughs with humanoid robotics and full-scale robotaxi deployment. This aligns with persistent social media buzz, with the October 7 event widely seen as make-or-break for Tesla’s position as the EV market’s innovation leader rather than a company resting on past successes. Investors, analysts, and fans are all watching for details that could redefine the company’s trajectory, lending this week a sense of high-stakes drama worthy of a Silicon Valley cliffhanger.
