Tesla Robotaxi Ride Receives Mixed Reviews as Autonomous Driving Sparks Debate
Wedbush analyst Daniel Ives, a staunch Tesla bull, described his 15-minute robotaxi experience in Austin as "comfortable, safe, and personalized." The soft-launch exceeded expectations, with Ives calling it a "spark for autonomous driving." His $500 price target suggests 52.7% upside for TSLA.
Despite the optimism, Tesla shares dipped 3.8% following a 27.9% year-over-year decline in European auto sales. Social media buzz highlights both praise and criticism for the invite-only service, while NHTSA reviews reported driving errors—some minor, others concerning.
