JUST IN: Cathie Wood predicts $TSLA to reach $2,600 by 2030.
Cathie Wood's $2,600 Tesla price prediction by 2030 hinges on autonomous taxi networks, a sector projected to reach $8-10 trillion, supported by her firm's analysis of Tesla's potential 90% gross margins from software shifts, despite a 2025 study from MIT showing only 15% of autonomous vehicles currently meet safety standards.
Her forecast contrasts with Tesla's recent 41% stock drop in 2025 and Ark Invest's sale of 50,000 shares worth $17 million last week, suggesting internal skepticism, while historical data from Forbes (2023) shows her past $2,000 by 2027 target missed as Tesla's market cap grew from $500 billion to $1.2 trillion by June 2025.
Regulatory hurdles in multiple countries, including a 2024 EU report citing 30% of Tesla's self-driving tech failing compliance tests, challenge her optimism, yet her exclusion of Tesla's humanoid robot ventures from the valuation could imply a conservative baseline for future growth.
