Cathie Wood taking her first Unsupervised @Tesla Robotaxi ride in Austin, Texas.
"The fact that I was talking to you the whole time and didn't pay any attention to the ride itself means that I think it's completely safe; I'm excited for Tesla. I'm excited for Tesla shareholders. I do think now, this slowly, slowly, slowly is moving into all at once."

Just saw this post on FB:
“I don't know who I need to tag but Tesla... if you're reading this... get ahold of me.
I am a firm believer in Jesus Christ and I first in foremost believe that He truly saved my life on Tuesday afternoon...
HOWEVER, more so than ever am now a FIRM advocate for the safely of Tesla!!
I was hit head on by a drunk driver who plunged straight at.
He was going so fast he was ejected from his vehicle (also not wearing a safety belt), but all of my airbags deployed and my phone automatically dialed 911...
I was also to walk away with swelling, bruising, and a fractured sternum. The gentleman that struck me was in ICU in a trauma center.
God is so good and merciful, and I'm thankful I was in a Tesla!!!”

Yes, it’s only Teslas for our family as well, the safest cars on earth that drive themselves.
Thank you @elonmusk and the whole @Tesla team! 🙏
GOOD NEWS 🚨 Piper Sandler (led by analyst Alexander Potter) reiterated its Overweight rating and $500 price target on $TSLA 🔥
The firm's latest thesis shifts focus away from traditional automotive metrics and heavily anchors on Tesla's progress in artificial intelligence and infrastructure.
Here are the primary drivers behind their decision:
🤖 The firm highlighted a strong quarter-over-quarter increase in FSD software subscriptions as the most encouraging development of Q1, proving that Tesla's aggressive AI investments are now producing tangible financial results and monetization.
🚗 Rebounding consumer demand for Tesla's vehicles throughout the quarter provided a strong, positive foundation for the core automotive business.
🏗️ Tesla's massive infrastructure spending is viewed as a strategic advantage rather than a liability. Management raised its 2026 capital expenditure outlook from $20 billion to $25 billion to aggressively fund its AI and compute infrastructure.
💰 While the unexpected $5 billion CapEx increase implies strongly negative free cash flow for the rest of 2026 (which temporarily weighed on the stock after hours), Piper Sandler notes that Tesla holds more cash than debt. This pristine balance sheet provides the flexibility needed to dominate the AI infrastructure race without putting the company at financial risk.
🇺🇸 Tesla's Optimus bots are no longer a concept or a demo.
They're inside the TERAFAB right now, designing and building their own TERAWATT AI chips.
The loop is closing faster than almost anyone expected.
Model Y #1 in China — 39,827 units in March.
In one of the most competitive EV markets in the world,
this isn’t hype—this is real-world demand.
This is how Tesla scales. 🚀
