Tesla BioSnap a weekly updated Biography.

Tesla has been on a whirlwind ride these past few days with headlines that keep everyone talking. The company’s stock hit $433.77 on September 22 before spiking as high as $444.84, thanks in part to a rare $1 billion open-market stock buy by Elon Musk himself, the first he’s made since 2020. Market watchers from Piper Sandler and Baird turned up the heat by raising their price targets to $500 and $548 respectively, citing Tesla’s ongoing triumphs in self-driving tech, robotics, and the tantalizing promise of physical AI. The message: Tesla is more than an automaker, and the tech world is watching its every pivot.

In terms of business maneuvering, Tesla has pushed its self-driving taxi service further, with expanded commercial operations now humming in Austin and ambitious plans to bring robotaxis to Nevada and Arizona. The long-discussed humanoid robot, slated for 2026, remains in development but is already painting visions of a future where Tesla is deep in the heart of robotics and AI. Not to be overshadowed, the company’s big-bet energy division continues rolling out battery storage solutions and solar projects, with Megapack deployments across California and Australia already earning praise for replacing fossil-fuel capacity and underpinning Tesla’s commitment to decarbonization.

Still, 2025 hasn’t been without drama. Tesla recently posted quarterly revenue of $22.5 billion, a bit shy of Wall Street’s expectations, with earnings per share lagging at $0.40 versus the anticipated $0.43. But investor confidence hasn’t wavered, especially with Musk throwing down big money. Forecasts now peg Q3 vehicle deliveries at a possible record 495000 units, while the cheap and cheerful Model 2 is expected to help push annual units to as much as 1.9 million in 2026. Meanwhile, Deutsche Bank believes Tesla is about to hit 72000 deliveries in China for September, a sign that demand in the world’s largest EV market remains robust.

Public attention around Tesla never misses a beat either. Social media and protest action persist, with movements like Tesla Takedown continuing to grab eyeballs, while consumers, particularly in the US, seem intrigued by market inventory that hasn’t sold out yet. Digital transformation remains a buzzword with Tesla rolling out innovation programs and tech partnerships aimed at keeping its edge both on the road and in the grid.

So from Wall Street to Main Street, and from gigafactories to social feeds, Tesla’s story is a cocktail of innovation, controversy, and relentless optimism. Add the ongoing rivalry with Chinese competitors, consumer boycotts from earlier in the year, and pressures to balance growth with sustainability, and you have all the makings of a nonstop saga that is as much about shaping culture and technology as it is about delivering cars.
