Give it time. The market reaction was muted earlier this month when Tesla unveiled its cybertaxi and robovan. It’ll be a few more years before they hit the road, and by the time they do, you can bet the courage to enable fully autonomous transportation will be even better. Tesla believes the two-seat cybertaxi will provide an even cheaper transportation option than public transit.

Hype is the default setting on a Tesla earnings call, and once again Musk said Tesla will one day be the most valuable company in the world. It’s a bold claim for a company whose market cap is still 40% below its 2021 peak, but this is a much better and more profitable company than it was at the time.

Tesla finds ways to drive down the cost of its cars, and that helps Tesla dream out loud about future products. The next Tesla vehicle to hit the market could cost as little as $25,000 after tax credits. It remains to be seen what it lacks over the current entry-level Model 3, but Musk emphasized that it will have Full-Self Driving as a subscription option.

More importantly, Musk says it should be available in early 2025. That will only take a few months.

Tesla brought up its semi-truck. It presented its self-driving two-seater and party vans earlier this month. Musk even discussed the Roadster refresh, something that has been put on the back burner as Tesla prioritizes its other vehicles, but is still a work in progress.

Along the way, Tesla is proving that it is different from the other electric car stocks. It continues to raise the bar and reinvent itself more than all the costume changes Taylor Swift goes through in concert. It’s hard to bet against Tesla, despite the company’s near-term valuations.
