TSLA stock is moving higher today after falling sharply in the previous session. The overnight decline came amid mixed reactions to Tesla’s Cybercab launch, but a rebound has followed as more countries approve its autonomous driving technology and analysts highlight potential cost advantages over competitors. The stock is currently trading with increased volume, reflecting renewed speculative interest.

What Happened

Tesla’s stock dropped 6% on the day following the Cybercab launch, with some reports suggesting regulatory scrutiny of its pedalless design. However, the stock has since rebounded. Slovenia approved Tesla’s Full Self-Driving (FSD) system for supervised use, marking another regulatory win for the company. Additionally, Goldman Sachs highlighted that Tesla’s Cybercab could undercut Waymo and Uber by as much as 30 cents per mile in operating costs. This has helped rekindle investor interest, even as broader skepticism about Tesla’s valuation and execution across its product lines persists.

What The Data Shows

Over the past eight trading sessions, TSLA has gained 3.9%, rising from $353.25 to $367.17. The stock has printed 33 fresh 52-week highs on September 8. Intraday options activity has also surged, with $600.7 million in call premiums versus $125.5 million in put premiums over the past 36 hours. The largest single options print was worth $71.9 million. Retail traders on r/wallstreetbets and r/stocks have been active, with some calling the stock oversold and others bullish on its long-term potential. Congressional trades show recent selling by Rep. Ro Khanna, with multiple disclosures of sales between $1,001 and $50,000 between August 3 and September 4.

What To Watch

Tesla has no earnings scheduled in the near term. Investors will likely monitor the breadth of FSD approvals across additional markets and how the Cybercab rollout progresses. Coverage of the company remains mixed, with 37 stories published in the last 36 hours across 17 sources.
