  1. Increased Competition and Market Share Decline: Tesla is encountering intensifying competition in the global electric vehicle (EV) market from both established automakers and new entrants, particularly from Chinese manufacturers like BYD. This competitive pressure has led to pricing wars, declining sales, and a reduction in Tesla's market share, impacting its revenue and profit margins.
  2. Regulatory and Legal Challenges concerning Autonomous Driving: Tesla faces significant regulatory scrutiny and numerous legal challenges related to its autonomous driving technologies, including Autopilot and Full Self-Driving (FSD). These challenges include shareholder lawsuits alleging the company overstated the capabilities and concealed safety risks of its robotaxi technology, as well as investigations by regulatory bodies such as the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) into incidents involving FSD.
  3. Dependence on Elon Musk and Leadership Concerns: Tesla's business and public perception are heavily tied to its CEO, Elon Musk. Risks include concerns over his "distractions" due to involvement in other ventures, his controversial public statements, and the potential impact of his leadership style or absence on the company's value and operational focus.

Here are 3-5 expected drivers of future revenue growth for Tesla (TSLA) over the next 2-3 years:

1. Expansion of Autonomous Driving (FSD) and Robotaxi Services: Tesla anticipates significant revenue growth from the increasing adoption of its Full Self-Driving (FSD) software and the rollout of its Robotaxi service. FSD adoption rates in North America have shown an uptick, particularly since the release of version 12. The company launched its commercial Robotaxi service in Austin in the second quarter of 2025, with ambitious plans to expand coverage to half of the U.S. population by year-end, pending regulatory approvals. The Cybercab is also projected to reach volume production in 2026.

2. Introduction of More Affordable Vehicle Models: Tesla plans to introduce more affordable vehicle models, with production for lower-cost models starting in the first half of 2025. This initiative aims to drive a substantial increase in vehicle sales, with an estimated 20% to 30% vehicle sales growth projected for the next year.

3. Growth in Energy Generation and Storage Business: The energy storage sector, including Megapack and Powerwall products, continues to be a robust growth area for Tesla. The company reported strong demand and significant growth in this segment, with energy generation and storage revenue soaring 44% year-over-year in Q3 2025. Tesla expects at least 50% growth in energy storage deployments year-over-year in 2025. The scaling of operations at facilities like the Lathrop Megafactory and a new facility in Shanghai supports this growth.

4. Development and Production of Optimus Humanoid Robot: Tesla is making strides in its robotics initiatives, with prototypes of the Optimus humanoid robot expected within three months of Q2 2025 and plans to start production early next year. The company has a medium-confidence target of scaling Optimus production to approximately 100,000 units per month within five years, which could represent a significant future revenue stream.
