Tesla CEO Elon Musk has fired Omead Afshar, the automaker's vice president of manufacturing and operations, CNBC confirmed. Afshar's departure comes after year-over-year declines in car sales in Tesla's key markets.
I reiterate my Buy rating on Tesla, Inc. with a $418 price target, reflecting 28% upside as autonomous mobility gains traction. Tesla's robotaxi launch in Austin marks a pivotal milestone, with vertical integration enabling faster, cheaper scaling than Waymo and unlocking recurring software revenue. Despite short-term delivery and margin pressures, Tesla's operational efficiency and long-term earnings growth potential remain compelling, especially as robotaxi adoption accelerates.
Omead Afshar, Tesla's vice president in charge of sales and manufacturing in North America and Europe, has reportedly been fired by CEO Elon Musk, according to Forbes.
