Tesla struggles financially despite pitching itself as an AI company, stock down 21% YTD.

Tesla is promoting itself as an AI company with projects like Robotaxi and Optimus robots, but its financials tell a different story. The company reported a 56.88% drop in operating income and negative free cash flow due to soaring capital expenditures, which are expected to rise further. While Tesla's revenue and deliveries grew, the stock has fallen 21.27% year to date as investors question the high valuation based on AI promises amid ongoing losses. The stock is rated a Sell at $354.08, with risks including margin compression and delayed AI product rollouts, though strong cash reserves and delivery momentum may offer some support.
