Partial Published before the outcome was known, scored automatically when the window closed on May 12, 2026.
Predicted vs. what happened
What happened
Reached 28% of the predicted growth at its peak, without hitting the target.
The thesis — published February 11, 2026
Tesla often moves quickly because lots of traders buy and sell it, so short-term price moves can be driven more by feeling than company results. The new plan to count FSD in some trade-ins strengthens the idea Tesla can make more money from software, which can excite buyers briefly. Because news can flip the stock fast, a cautious buy on pullbacks is preferred over chasing big moves.
Primary drivers
- Customers may pay more for software like FSD, helping revenue grow
- Lots of trading activity causes fast, short-term price swings
- Investor enthusiasm can push price even if fundamentals are mixed
- Buying within the range reduces risk from sudden headline moves
