Tesla, Inc. (TSLA)

What became of Tesla's (NASDAQ:TSLA) original mission - to catalyze the world's transition to sustainable energy and reinvent transportation from the ground up? What once sounded like a pipe dream became a bold, stepwise strategy: start with a sports car, use that money to build affordable EVs, and power it all with clean energy.

In Q2 and Q3, most of Tesla's revenue growth is coming from things it's already executing. The global Model Y refresh just wrapped in Q1, and it looks like demand - especially in Asia - is picking up again. Tesla is aiming to pilot a robotaxi program in Austin this June, using unsupervised Model Ys. If that goes well, they want to expand to more cities by the end of the year and scale up in 2026. Also coming into view is the Optimus robot project. Starting in 2027 and beyond, Tesla's bigger ideas start to come into play.

Now is the moment for Musk to channel his fury into executing on the company's long-promised pivot to driverless cars.
