'The Worst Place to Drive in America': Tesla Stock (NASDAQ:TSLA) Gains on Plans to Bring Robotaxi Service to New York
There are perfectly valid reasons why an episode of The Simpsons referred to New York City as an 'urban death maze.' But electric vehicle giant Tesla (TSLA) may be poised to make getting around that city a lot easier thanks to robotaxi service, which it hopes to bring therein. There are signs that this plan may not work as expected, however. Investors are eager to see an expansion, and sent Tesla shares up nearly 2% in Monday afternoon's trading. Elevate Your Investing Strategy: Take advantage of TipRanks Premium at 50% off! Unlock powerful investing tools, advanced data, and expert analyst insights to help you invest with confidence. Tesla has had plans to expand elsewhere for quite some time, as evidenced by listings for 'vehicle operators' that have been posted throughout America's cities. Brooklyn is actually on the list as well, which would represent one of the biggest challenges that Tesla's autodrive systems will ever face. Brooklyn is well-known for a 'good-luck' approach to traffic. With delivery vans, electric bikes, and an overall traffic infrastructure that was once described as '…general chaos that wreaks havoc on even the most seasoned drivers…,' it is clear that an autodrive system would have a lot to look out for. Given that Tesla is being 'super paranoid' about safety—which makes perfect sense given some incidents—it is not a surprise it wants a human backup involved, hence the job listings. China-Made EV Sales in Freefall Meanwhile, a bit of bad news floated in from China, where electric vehicles are a market that could be described as 'oversaturated.' The Tesla models made in China suffered a significant blow to their sales. Sales were down 8.4% against the figures from July 2024. Model 3 and Model Y sales hit 67,886 units for July, reports noted, which was also down 5.2% against the figures from June 2025. A combination of growing numbers of competitors and a market that is not really expanding left Tesla on the back foot, forced to take smaller slices of a pie that is roughly the same size it has always been. With the United States poised to drop tax credits for electric vehicles with the end of September, that will deliver another blow to Tesla going forward. It also helps explain why Tesla is pivoting toward robotics and other ventures. Is Tesla a Buy, Hold or Sell? Turning to Wall Street, analysts have a Hold consensus rating on TSLA stock based on 14 Buys, 15 Holds, and eight Sells assigned in the past three months, as indicated by the graphic below. After a 52.17% rally in its share price over the past year, the average TSLA price target of $310.84 per share implies 0.63% downside risk.

Tesla's (TSLA) China Sales Slide in July as Local EV Rivals Steal Market Share
Tesla's (TSLA) sales of China-made electric vehicles (EVs) declined 8.4% in July 2025 year-on-year to 67,886 units, according to data from the China Passenger Car Association (CPCA). This marks the sixth month out of seven this year where Tesla's Shanghai shipments have seen a decline, reflecting the mounting pressure Tesla faces in the world's largest EV market. Elevate Your Investing Strategy: Take advantage of TipRanks Premium at 50% off! Unlock powerful investing tools, advanced data, and expert analyst insights to help you invest with confidence. Key Reasons Behind the Fall The decline comes as the EV giant faces tough competition from local rivals such as BYD (BYDDF) and Xiaomi (XIACF), offering more affordable new models in China. Importantly, Xiaomi's new YU7 SUV is a direct challenger to Tesla's Model Y. Further, Tesla's Model Y, once a top seller in China, is slowing down. Sales dropped 17.5% in the first half of 2025 despite a refreshed version launched in January. It must be noted that TSLA's troubles are not limited to China. Weak global demand and backlash over CEO Elon Musk 's politics led to its largest quarterly sales drop in over ten years during the second quarter. What's Next for Tesla in China? To counter these struggles, the EV maker plans to launch a larger, six-seater version of Model Y this fall. It is built to compete with China's popular three-row SUVs like the Li Auto's (LI) L8. With more space and better battery tech from LG, Tesla hopes this family-friendly model will help it win back buyers from local brands. At the same time, TSLA aims to launch a longer-range, rear-wheel-drive Model 3 in China this September, called the Model 3+. The company hopes this new model will help compete with Xiaomi's SU7 sedan. Overall, these moves are likely to bolster Tesla's position as the Chinese EV market continues to get more competitive. Is TSLA Stock a Buy? Turning to Wall Street, TSLA stock has a Hold consensus rating based on 14 Buys, 15 Holds, and eight Sells assigned in the last three months. At $310.84, the average Tesla price target implies a 1.22% upside potential. The stock has declined 19.98% over the past six months.
