Tesla (TSLA) shares opened higher today after a senior Wedbush analyst said the launch of robotaxi services this week will officially start the “golden era of autonomous” for the electric vehicle manufacturer.
According to Dan Ives, the automaker’s market cap could double from here to $2 trillion by the end of next year as it extends its robotaxi services to another 25 cities over the next 18 months.
