Delivery Numbers Miss: Recent chatter on social media has centered around Tesla's Q4 2025 delivery results, which fell short of expectations. Many users are pointing to a decline in annual vehicle sales for the second straight year, raising concerns about demand in the core auto business. Some have highlighted increasing competition, especially from European EV makers, as a growing challenge.
AI and Robotics Optimism: Despite the delivery miss, a segment of social media discussion remains focused on Tesla's future in AI and robotics. Several voices argue that the stock's current valuation reflects a narrative beyond traditional auto sales, banking on innovations like robotaxis. This split in perspective keeps the conversation dynamic and heated.
