Trading at a forward price-to-earnings (P/E) ratio of more than 150 times 2025 analyst estimates, Tesla's valuation still reflects a future where autonomous driving becomes mainstream, and where Tesla, not Waymo or another company, is the dominant player. That's a huge bet, and right now, it wouldn't be the robotaxi company I'd wager on.

Tesla will expand its robotaxi service to the San Francisco Bay Area "in a month or two", depending on regulatory approvals, CEO Elon Musk said on Wednesday.
