To The Moon

$Tesla Motors(TSLA)$ $BYD COMPANY(01211)$ $NVIDIA(NVDA)$ ⚡ I’m convinced Tesla’s defining battle isn’t about quarterly Model Y sales in Shanghai; it’s about whether Optimus can cross the chasm from hype to execution. That’s why this technical and narrative setup matters right now.

🚦 Technical Breakdown: Compression Near Breakdown

On the 4H chart, Tesla trades at $328.20, pinned near the lower Keltner and Bollinger bands, with EMAs curling lower and the 55 EMA acting as heavy resistance.

• Support: $324 (volume shelf) and $310 (structural line in the sand).

• Resistance: $335 and $353 (cluster + Fib confluence).

The 30M view shows relentless lower-highs and failed reclaims. As the charts confirm, sellers are in control until proven otherwise.

📉 Options Market: Fear Still Dominates

The volatility surface from 29Aug25 shows a sharp downside skew; puts around $300–320 remain in strong demand.

• Short-term IV has cooled, but funds continue hedging.

• This tells me investors aren’t buying into a near-term rally; they’re preparing for a deeper test of support before conviction returns.

🤖 Optimus or Bust: Tesla’s 80% Future Claim

Elon Musk has doubled down: ~80% of Tesla’s future value will come from Optimus humanoid robots, not EVs.

• August China EV sales fell 4% YoY, though up 22.6% MoM to 83,192 units.

• Tesla aims to roll out 5,000 robots this year, yet demos remain unreliable (Optimus serving popcorn in LA only lasted a day).

Electrek called Master Plan Part 4 “utopic nonsense.” Critics argue Tesla is distracting from slipping EV demand with AI buzzwords.

🌍 Macro Reality: Competition Rising

• China: Both Tesla and BYD reported weakness in August, underscoring a brutal EV landscape.

• Robotaxis: Waymo hit 10M paid trips; Baidu’s Apollo Go is live across China, while Tesla is still in early pilot testing.

• Robotics rivals: Boston Dynamics, Agility, Unitree, and Figure are credible near-term challengers.

• Execution risk: Tesla’s VP of Optimus, Milan Kovac, departed in June, creating leadership gaps at the worst time.

📊 Analyst Consensus: Skepticism Rules

Wall Street holds Tesla at Consensus: Hold with 13 Buys, 15 Holds, and 8 Sells.

• PT avg: $306.42 → ~7% downside risk.

Analysts increasingly frame Tesla as leaning on the robotics narrative to defend valuation while EVs stagnate.

🔑 The Crossroads

I believe Tesla now faces a credibility reset. EV sales are soft, Optimus is unproven, and options markets hedge against further downside. Yet, the roadmap: autonomy, robotics, AI, keeps institutional investors engaged.

• Break below $310 could accelerate downside and trigger that credibility reckoning.

• Reclaim above $353 reframes the setup and revives the Optimus/AI narrative.

🏁 I’m fully convinced the story isn’t the print; it’s the roadmap. Either Tesla breaks down and faces a credibility reset, or it claws back into the $353 zone and reclaims the robotics megatrend narrative. These are not predictions; they’re probability-weighted frameworks.

So here’s the real question:

Do you believe Tesla’s future value truly lies in Optimus, or is this the ultimate AI distraction play while EV demand slips?
