The electric vehicle revolution has already begun, but for some automobile manufacturers, it is just beginning. Tesla, a pioneer in this field, has a variety of factors that could further drive the company and its results upwards. John Murphy, leading auto analyst at Bank of America, explained in a conversation with Yahoo Finance that there is a vast landscape of opportunities for Tesla. This includes a potentially lucrative opportunity: the introduction of the robotaxi fleet called Cybercab. Tesla CEO Elon Musk recently announced surprisingly strong results for the third quarter and provided positive updates for upcoming initiatives, including the production schedule for the Cybercabs. These autonomously driving robotaxis, which operate without a steering wheel or pedals, were recently showcased at a spectacular event at a Warner Bros. studio in Burbank, California. They are currently in a beta testing phase in the Bay Area, where Tesla employees request the vehicles via an app. A safety driver is still on board but will become redundant once regulatory hurdles are overcome and the vehicle navigates traffic independently. Once the Cybercabs are certified for both safety and speed, they could drastically change the way we travel. Musk plans to produce between two and four million of these Cybercabs per year. Murphy believes that fast and safe highway travel could shorten travel times. In fact, the ability of Cybercabs to travel at double speed could halve road congestion, thereby creating more space. Deployment is planned for 2025 in Texas, followed by California. In the long term, the product proves to be a potential profit generator. Murphy forecasts earnings growth of over 20% for 2026 and rates Tesla stock with a buy recommendation. However, given the price increase following the recent results, he is reconsidering his previous price target of $265.
