Ark Invest, arguably Tesla\u2019s biggest bull with a $2,000 price target on the TSLA stock, put together a weighted average prediction for when Tesla would launch its robotaxi service.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Recently, Tesla has made it clear that it is virtually betting the house on self-driving.<\/p>\n

CEO Elon Musk even went as far as to say that Tesla solving self-driving is the difference between Tesla being worth trillions or \u201cbasically nothing.\u201d<\/p>\n

As we have previously reported, Musk believes that not many are seeing the value in Tesla eventually pushing self-driving capability to its fleet of millions of vehicles through over-the-air software updates. However, we think he might be confusing people not understanding the value with people having serious doubts<\/a> about Tesla being able to do it in the first place.<\/p>\n

One group that does believe it is Ark Invest, an investment firm that has long held one of the highest price targets on Tesla\u2019s stock.<\/p>\n

The firm, which owns over $1 billion worth of Tesla shares, has a $2,000 price target on the stock, which represents a massive upside over the current $160 price.<\/p>\n

But a majority of that upside is based on Tesla delivering its long-held promise of releasing its robotaxi service to its existing fleet.<\/p>\n

In a recent update<\/a> to its Tesla model, Ark says that it is confident Tesla will soon launch its robotaxi service and even puts a prediction that it should happen in late 2024:<\/p>\n

ARK has grown increasingly confident that Tesla will launch a robotaxi service soon. Our updated Monte Carlo model includes a range of launch dates, with late 2024 as the weighted average of all cases, as shown below.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

That\u2019s based on a simulation of the commercialization of Tesla\u2019s robotaxi service:<\/p>\n

Musk himself said just last week that he expects Tesla to achieve \u201cfull autonomy\u201d this year, but as we reported, it\u2019s not clear what he means by \u201cfull autonomy<\/a>.\u201d<\/p>\n

Ark\u2019s definition is clearer. They are talking about Tesla releasing a software update making its whole fleet of millions of cars produced since 2016 fully self-driving and offering robotaxi services through a new Uber-like app.<\/p>\n

Electrek\u2019s Take<\/h2>\n

That would indeed be a game changer that would create a lot of value for Tesla, and the end of 2024 still leaves more than a year to achieve it.<\/p>\n

But as an FSD beta tester, I have difficulties imagining Tesla going from the current FSD beta to a robotaxi service only through software updates.<\/p>\n

It\u2019s not impossible, but I find it hard to believe. Although, the \u201cstart of commercialization\u201d would only mean that \u2013 the start. I can see Tesla achieving some level of self-driving capacity that could enable robotaxi services in some geofenced areas by then, but that isn\u2019t likely to be pushed to millions of vehicles like Musk has promised for years.<\/p>\n
