Tesla downgraded to sell as autonomous driving progress lags and profits rely heavily on SpaceX stock gains.

Tesla's recent profit largely depends on gains from Elon Musk's other company, SpaceX, rather than its core business, which showed a weak 1.4% operating margin on $28.2 billion revenue. Despite a quadrupling of Texas registrations for Tesla's autonomous vehicles, only about twenty cars are actually driving unsupervised, falling short of expectations for driverless technology. The downgrade to sell reflects concerns over the slow growth of the driverless fleet and the underlying business performance. Investors will watch closely into late October to see if the driverless fleet expands and if SpaceX's stock performance improves, which could reverse the downgrade.
