Uber scores: Tesla's Robotaxi event disappoints investors

After Tesla's robotaxi event failed to convince investors, Uber's shares rose on Friday. Thomas Martin, Senior Portfolio Manager at GLOBALT Investments, analyzes the competitive situation between Tesla and Uber in a conversation with Market Domination Overtime and explains why Uber was able to benefit from this event. According to Martin, the stock market reacted as expected: While Tesla experienced rather disappointing price movements, Uber gained in value. Martin describes this as a classic case of long-term versus short-term thinking—each in the opposite direction for Tesla and Uber. He explains to Yahoo Finance that "if Tesla had been able to realize automated driving and robotaxis in the short term, or at least present a concrete roadmap for the mid-term future, this would have posed a potential problem for Uber in the long run. But the devil is in the details." As investors continue to await more detailed information and insights into the development of Tesla's robotaxi, Uber gains in attractiveness. If Tesla is unable to meet the expected timelines for the release of robotaxis, Uber has more time to gain an edge.
