Tesla’s Future Valuation: A Deep Dive into 2030 Predictions

1. Introduction: Why This Matters

Tesla is no longer just an automaker—it’s evolving into a technology powerhouse with AI, robotics, energy, and software. Given its current revenue of ~$97.7 billion (2024) and its potential in multiple industries, I set out to estimate Tesla’s future valuation in 2030 and determine a fair stock price today.

2. How I Built My 2030 Projections

I broke Tesla down into five major revenue streams:

• Optimus Robots: Scaling humanoid robot production for manufacturing & home use.

• Batteries & Energy Storage: Growing demand for Megapacks, Powerwalls, and grid storage.

• FSD (Full Self-Driving) & Software: High-margin AI revenue from subscriptions & Robotaxis.

• Automotive: EV sales + Robotaxi network.

• Energy (Solar & Grid Solutions): Expanding Tesla’s renewable energy business.

By estimating realistic growth rates, I projected Tesla’s 2030 total revenue at $1.94 trillion with a net profit of $534 billionand a net profit margin of 27.5%.

3. Estimating Tesla’s Fair Value in 2024

To determine what Tesla’s stock should be worth today, I:

1. Projected Tesla’s 2030 Market Cap based on P/E ratios:

• Bear Case (P/E = 25): $13.35 trillion

• Base Case (P/E = 35): $18.69 trillion

• Bull Case (P/E = 50): $26.70 trillion

2. Discounted these values back to 2024 using a 12% discount rate.

3. Divided by Tesla’s 3.19 billion shares outstanding to estimate a fair stock price today:

• Bear Case: $2,120/share

• Base Case: $2,968/share

• Bull Case: $4,240/share

4. The Shocking Conclusion

Tesla’s current stock price (~$180-$200) is drastically below these estimates, suggesting it could be one of the most undervalued stocks today—if it executes on AI, FSD, and energy at scale.

Of course, risks remain (competition, execution, regulations), but the upside is massive. If Tesla achieves its full vision, a share price in the thousands is not unrealistic.

Would you buy Tesla today based on these numbers? Or do you think growth expectations are too ambitious?
