Tesla is one of the largest EV makers in the world, but the company has changed its mission. CEO Elon Musk has invested billions into autonomous cars and humanoid robots – $10 billion into autonomy and driver assistance alone. Bulls say this is Tesla’s future and without it the company’s current share price is overvalued. Bearish investors say Tesla has abandoned its original mission and that these new initiatives won’t pay off.
