Venture capitalist Joe Lonsdale is sounding the alarm on Chinese competition in the flying car sector while showcasing American innovation through Joby Aviation Inc. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/JOBY#NYSE">JOBY</a>), as regulatory delays threaten U.S. market leadership in the emerging electric vertical take-off and landing (eVTOL) industry.
What Happened: Lonsdale, co-founder of Palantir Technologies, featured Joby Aviation CEO JoeBen Bevirt on his podcast, demonstrating the company&#8217;s electric vertical takeoff and landing aircraft that reduces hour-long commutes to 10 minutes. The technology operates 100 times quieter than helicopters in hover mode and nearly silent during overflight.
Lonsdale referenced Peter Thiel&#8216;s well-known quote on X, &#8220;We wanted flying cars, instead we got 140 characters,&#8221; noting that Bevirt took the remark &#8220;personally,&#8221; as Joby Aviation is now on the verge of delivering actual flying cars.
Bevirt emphasized aviation&#8217;s importance to U.S. exports, stating the technology could create thousands of jobs. However, Lonsdale warned that Chinese competitors are copying American designs while bypassing lengthy U.S. regulatory processes. 
&#8220;They copy (or steal) American ingenuity, shortcut the regulatory process, and beat USA to market,&#8221; Lonsdale wrote on X, drawing parallels to biotechnology, where Food and Drug Administration delays allow Chinese companies to commercialize innovations first.
U.S. Department of Transportation, Secretary Sean Duffy and Federal Aviation Administration &#8220;must move fast — I&#8217;m glad to hear they&#8217;re doing so,&#8221; Lonsdale wrote on X. 
Bevirt acknowledged that dozens of companies now build aircraft &#8220;almost identical&#8221; to Joby&#8217;s design, highlighting intense competition from China.

Price Action: Joby Aviation Inc.&#8217;s stock closed at $7.87 on Wednesday, down 1.99% for the day. In pre-market trading, the stock rose 1.27% to $7.97. Year to date, Joby shares are down 2.72%, while the stock has declined 26.52% since its public debut in 2020.
According to Benzinga Edge Stock Rankings, JOBY has an extremely poor valuation but benefits from strong momentum, with a positive price trend across short- to long-term timeframes.

Peter Thiel's Flying Car Dream Nears Reality With Joby Aviation, But Joe Lonsdale Warns FAA 'Must Move Fast' As China Could Overtake US Amid Regulatory Delays

The U.S. Vehicle Suppliers Association has called for immediate measures to address China&#8217;s limited rare earths exports, warning of potential disruptions in auto parts production.
What Happened:&nbsp;The Motor &amp; Equipment Manufacturers Association (MEMA) issued a statement on Wednesday, urging prompt action to resolve the issue of China&#8217;s&nbsp;restricted exports of rare earths,&nbsp;minerals, and magnets. The association warned that the situation could quickly disrupt the production of auto parts,&nbsp;Reuters&nbsp;reported.
China, which dominates more than 90% of the world's rare earth processing capacity, imposed export restrictions in April, mandating that companies secure licenses from Beijing. These measures came in response to a trade war that began when President Donald Trump introduced tariffs on Chinese goods.
The MEMA, in its statement, highlighted the &#8220;serious, real-time risks&#8221; faced by parts companies due to the unresolved situation.&nbsp;The association stressed the immediate need for strong action to avoid major disruptions and economic consequences throughout the vehicle supplier industry.
The report states that the U.S. auto industry is already experiencing the effects of these restrictions. In May, Ford Motor Co. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/F#NYSE">F</a>) was forced to suspend production of its Explorer SUV at its Chicago plant for a week due to a shortage of rare-earth materials.

US Auto Suppliers Urge Immediate Action To Tackle China's Rare Earths Restrictions Amid 'Serious, Real-Time Risks'

Automakers worldwide have criticized China's restrictions on rare earth minerals and magnets, which are crucial to automotive production, amid ongoing U.S.-China trade tensions.
What Happened: Automakers from the U.S., Europe, Japan, and India have raised alarms over China's export curbs on raw materials critical to vehicle production, Reuters reported on Tuesday.
Beijing's decision to restrict exports came in as a retaliatory measure to U.S. President Donald Trump's 145% tariffs levied on Chinese goods imported into the country. The ongoing trade tensions have severely disrupted the global economy.
A trade group representing General Motors Co. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/GM#NYSE">GM</a>), Toyota Motor Corp (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/TM#NYSE">TM</a>) and other manufacturers had written to the Trump administration about the threat of China's curbs on exports, the report suggests.
"If the situation is not changed quickly, production delays and even production outages can no longer be ruled out," an expert representing German automakers said in the report.
The report also suggests that a business delegation from Japan will arrive in the country in the coming days to meet with Chinese officials, while officials from the EU are also expected to meet with the Chinese government over the curbs.
Why It Matters: The news comes in as talks between the Trump administration and Beijing have <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/05/45685544/scott-bessent-says-us-china-trade-talks-at-stalemate-need-trump-and-xi-jinping-touch-to-break-the-deadlock">currently hit a stalemate</a>, according to U.S. Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent.
The current escalating tensions follow a temporary 90-day truce in the trade war that was reached following negotiations between the two governments, which <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/equities/25/05/45341884/apple-amazon-nvidia-rise-in-monday-premarket-as-us-china-agree-to-90-day-tariff-truce-neither-side-wants-a-decoupling">sent stocks on the rise</a>.
However, Trump has since accused China of violating the <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/politics/25/06/45715447/xi-jinpings-china-dismisses-trumps-groundless-accusations-on-geneva-trade-deal-breach-vows-strong-retaliation">Geneva trade agreement </a>following its decision to impose curbs on the exports. Beijing has called the accusations groundless and has vowed to retaliate.

Amid US-China Trade War, Global Automakers Warn Beijing's Curbs On Rare Earth Metals Could Significantly Impact Production

Toyota Motor Corporation&#8217;s (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/TM#NYSE">TM</a>) Toyota Fudosan Co., Ltd. on Tuesday announced plans to initiate a <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/topic/mobility">tender offer</a> for shares of Toyota Industries Corporation.
The company plans to take Toyota Industries private, with Toyota Fudosan investing around 180 billion Japanese yen ($1.26 billion).
The company said <a href="https://global.toyota/en/newsroom/corporate/42882940.html">this</a> move is part of a broader effort to accelerate the group&#8217;s transformation into a comprehensive &#8220;mobility company.&#8221;

Also, Akio Toyoda, chairman of Toyota Motor Corporation, intends to contribute 1 billion yen (around $7.0 million), and Toyota Motor plans to invest approximately 700 billion yen ($4.9 billion) in non-voting preferred shares.
These investments are intended to be funded by reinvesting a portion of the proceeds from the sale of Toyota Industries shares, which were held by Toyota Fudosan, Akio Toyoda, and Toyota Motor since Toyota Industries&#8217; initial listing.
The streamlining of the ownership structure, particularly around Toyota Industries, will allow the company to operate more agilely and focus on innovation in logistics and goods movement.
Toyota Industries is focusing on the development of autonomous technologies for logistics equipment such as forklifts, logistics management software, and environmentally friendly powertrains, and it will work on utilization of data related to the movement of goods, the company said.
The streamlining will be achieved by taking Toyota Industries private through a new holding company structure, funded by key Toyota entities and leadership, while also unwinding most of the existing cross-shareholdings involving Toyota Industries. Toyota Motor will retain a significant, but non-voting, stake.
As part of this strategic restructuring, Toyota Motor Corporation, AISIN Corporation, DENSO CORPORATION, and Toyota Tsusho Corporation will sell their existing shares in Toyota Industries.
Concurrently, these four companies will repurchase their own shares that are currently held by Toyota Industries; this will be accomplished through tender offers for their respective treasury shares.
This series of transactions is designed to dissolve the complex cross-shareholding relationships that exist between Toyota Industries and these four entities.
However, an exception will be made for Toyota Motor Corporation, which will retain an investment in Toyota Industries by holding non-voting preferred shares in the newly established holding company.
This move is part of an ongoing review of capital relationships within Toyota Group (since FY2023) to ensure continued growth and competitiveness. The aim is to find the optimum formation for Toyota Group as a mobility company.
Investors can gain exposure to the stock via&nbsp;Precidian ETFs Trust Toyota Motor Corporation ADRhedged (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/TMH#NYSE">TMH</a>) and Avantis International Large Cap Value ETF (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AVIV#NYSE">AVIV</a>).
Price Action: TM shares are trading higher by 0.06% to $189.25&nbsp;premarket at last check Tuesday.

e.l.f Beauty, Box And Joby Aviation Are Among Top 11 Mid-Cap Gainers Last Week (May 26-May 30): Are Others In Your Portfolio?

Global automakers are expressing serious concerns over a potential shortage of rare-earth magnets from China, which could result in factory closures within weeks.
What Happened: A letter dated May 9 from the Alliance for Automotive Innovation, representing major automakers like General Motors Co. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/GM#NYSE">GM</a>), Toyota Motor Corp. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/TM#NYSE">TM</a>), and Volkswagen AG (OTC:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/VWAGY#OTC">VWAGY</a>), was sent to the Trump administration highlighting these urgent issues, according to a report by Reuters.
&#8220;Without reliable access to these elements and magnets, automotive suppliers will be unable to produce critical automotive components, including automatic transmissions, throttle bodies, alternators, various motors, sensors, seat belts, speakers, lights, motors, power steering, and cameras,&#8221; the Alliance for Automotive Innovation said.
This could lead to decreased production volumes or even the shutdown of vehicle assembly lines in the U.S., the group added. &#8220;In severe cases, this could include the need for reduced production volumes or even a shutdown of vehicle assembly lines.&#8221;

China, which controls over 90% of the global processing capacity for these magnets, imposed restrictions in April, requiring exporters to obtain licenses.
Why It Matters: Earlier in April, China imposed<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/04/44650952/china-restricts-rare-earth-exports-to-us-as-part-of-tariff-retaliation"> export restrictions on seven rare earth elements</a>, including samarium and dysprosium, as a retaliatory measure against U.S. tariffs.
Meanwhile, the European Union<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/equities/25/04/44766503/eu-fast-tracks-mining-to-cut-china-reliance-builds-216m-rare-earth-recycling-plant"> is taking steps to reduce its dependency</a> on China for rare earth imports by fast-tracking mining and recycling initiatives.

China's Rare-Earth Magnet Restrictions Threaten Auto Production, Could Result In 'Shutdown Of Assembly Lines:' Report

Flying cars &#8211; technically, electric vertical takeoff and landing vehicles, or eVTOLs &#8211; are inching <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/topic/air-mobility">closer to liftoff</a>. But for investors in names like Joby Aviation Inc (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/JOBY#NYSE">JOBY</a>) and Archer Aviation Inc (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/ACHR#NYSE">ACHR</a>), JPMorgan's latest insight is clear: the long-term runway looks promising, but near-term turbulence is hard to avoid.
JPMorgan analyst Bill Peterson, after a conversation with McKinsey's Robin Riedel, said the eVTOL dream is alive—just not quite ready for boarding. Commercial service may begin in the next 12–18 months, but mass adoption likely won't arrive until the mid-2030s. The market could top $1 trillion down the line, but initial revenues are expected to hover in the premium niche—think high-end urban air mobility, priced like Uber Black.
That modest start comes with high-stakes hurdles: regulatory certification, vertiport buildout, and propulsion tech reliability. Joby and Archer are making headway—Joby with successful test flights, and Archer inching toward piloted trials. Still, certification remains a heavy lift.
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Joby Lands A Lift From Toyota</h2>
One tailwind for Joby came this week via a <a href="https://www.benzinga.com//node/45643642">$250 million boost from </a><a href="https://www.benzinga.com//node/45643642">Toyota</a> Motor Corp (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/TM#NYSE">TM</a>), closing the first tranche of a strategic investment meant to support certification and commercial production. The capital also strengthens their long-term manufacturing alliance.
"With this capital and Toyota's legendary production expertise, we're enhancing our ability to scale," said Joby CEO JoeBen Bevirt, noting the progress already made streamlining design and production with Toyota's help.

<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Archer Hit By Short Seller Turbulence</h2>
Meanwhile, Archer faces headwinds. Short seller <a href="https://www.benzinga.com//node/45521011">Culper Research accused</a> the company of misleading investors with exaggerated claims about its Midnight Edition eVTOL. Culper questioned the aircraft's transition flight performance and called its commercialization timeline "reckless."
JPMorgan remains cautious. Overseas players—especially in China and the Middle East—may outpace U.S. firms due to aligned governments and deeper funding. 
And while trillion-dollar headlines grab attention, JPMorgan sees a smaller, slower takeoff in the near term.
The sky&#8217;s the limit, but Joby and Archer aren't cleared for cruising altitude just yet.

Joby Aviation Inc (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/JOBY#NYSE">JOBY</a>) shares are trading higher Wednesday after the company announced the closing of a $250 million investment <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/pressreleases/25/05/b45630220/joby-aviation-announces-closing-of-250-million-investment">from Toyota Motor Corp (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/TM#NYSE">TM</a>)</a>.
What Happened: Electric vertical take-off and landing (eVTOL) air taxi company Joby announced that it closed on the first&nbsp;$250 million&nbsp;tranche of its previously announced strategic investment from Toyota, strengthening the long-term collaboration between the two companies.
The funding is expected to support certification and commercial production of Joby&#8217;s electric air taxi and also brings the companies closer to a strategic manufacturing alliance.
&#8220;We&#8217;re already seeing the benefit of working with Toyota in streamlining manufacturing processes and optimizing design,&#8221; said JoeBen Bevirt, founder and CEO of Joby. 
&#8220;This is an important next step in our alliance with Toyota to scale the promise of electric flight. With this capital and Toyota&#8217;s legendary production expertise, we&#8217;re enhancing our ability to scale cutting-edge design and manufacturing to meet the demands of our partners and customers.&#8221;

<h3 class="wp-block-heading">Is JOBY A Good Stock To Buy?</h3>
An investor can make a few decisions when deciding whether a stock is a good buy. In addition to valuation metrics and price action which you can find on Benzinga's quote pages &#8211; like <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/JOBY">Joby Aviation</a>&#8216;s page for example &#8211; there are factors like whether or not a company pays a dividend or buys a large portion of its stock each quarter.
These are known as capital allocation programs. Joby does not pay a dividend, but obviously has a few ways it can return value to shareholders. Feel free to search Benzinga's <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/calendars/dividends">dividend calendar</a> for the next company that is due to pay a dividend and determine what kind of yield you can earn for holding a share of the company.
Buyback programs are obviously different and highly variable. A company can approve a buyback program and purchase shares as it sees fit over the course of time in which the buyback was authorized. Looking through the latest news on <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/JOBY">Joby Aviation</a> will often yield whether or not the company has approved a buyback program recently. Buyback programs usually serve as a support for share prices, serving as a backstop for demand.
JOBY Price Action: Joby has a 52-week low of $4.66 and a 52-week high of $10.72. <a href="http://benzinga.com/quote/JOBY">Joby Aviation shares</a> were up 13.9% at $7.83 at the time of publication Wednesday, according to <a href="http://pro.benzinga.com">Benzinga Pro</a>.

The "road trip" is Waymo's testing system that helps the company improve its autonomous driving capabilities by conducting tests across various cities where the company doesn't operate.
Why It Matters: The news comes in as Waymo is steadily bolstering its presence in the AV sector.

Tesla Robotaxi Rival Waymo To Conduct Tests In Multiple Cities Amid US Autonomous Driving Push

General

Toyota Motor  Reports 15.3% Stake In Joby Aviation As Of May 22

Joby Aviation, Inc. ((Joby, NYSE:<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/JOBY#NYSE">JOBY</a>), a company developing electric air taxis for commercial passenger service, announced the successful closing of the first $250 million tranche of a previously announced strategic investment from Toyota Motor Corporation. The funding marks a significant milestone in strengthening the long-term collaboration between the two companies and supports their shared vision for the future of air mobility.
The investment is aimed at supporting certification and commercial production of Joby's electric air taxi. This underscores the mutual commitment to deepening integration and delivering next generation travel to global markets. This investment also puts the two companies a step closer toward a strategic manufacturing alliance.

Joby Aviation Announces The Closing Of The First $250M Tranche Of A Previously Announced Strategic Investment From Toyota Motor Corp

Toyota Motor Corp. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/TM#NYSE">TM</a>) is reportedly moving part of its GR Corolla production to the United Kingdom to reduce delivery wait times in North America.
The automaker will invest approximately $56 million in a dedicated U.K. production line to serve the North American market, Reuters reported, citing sources familiar with the plan.
The shift aims to leverage excess capacity in the U.K. and ease pressure on Toyota&#8217;s Motomachi Plant in Japan, which is already running at full capacity.

The GR Corolla is built exclusively in Japan, where strong North American demand has led to extended delivery timelines. Last year, Motomachi produced 25,000 vehicles, including 8,000 GR Corollas.
According to Reuters, the decision is not linked to U.S. auto tariffs, though the Trump administration recently cut duties on British imports to 10% for up to 100,000 vehicles annually. Toyota plans to absorb any tariff-related costs without raising prices.
U.S. plants remain focused on hybrids and other high-demand models, limiting capacity for GR production. The GR Corolla, priced around 6 million yen or roughly $42,131.87 (about double the standard model), is manually assembled and requires months for delivery, the report said.
The GR series, developed under Chairman Akio Toyoda&#8217;s racing vision, includes high-performance vehicles like the GR Corolla and GR Yaris. While niche in volume, these vehicles offer higher margins and a dedicated enthusiast following.
Toyota will continue building GR models for Japan and other global markets at Motomachi while the U.K. line supplies North America.
Price Action: TM shares are trading higher by 1.11% to $184.32 premarket at last check Tuesday.

Toyota Moves GR Corolla Line To UK As Japan Plant Hits Capacity: Report

Chinese carmaker BYD Company ADR (OTC:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/BYDDY#OTC">BYDDY</a>) might have stolen the April electric vehicle title in Europe, but markets didn&#8217;t bat an eyelid. Neither did Tesla (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/TSLA#NASDAQ">TSLA</a>) shares.
<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/05/45564693/byd-outsells-elon-musks-tesla-amid-european-plans-shift-into-gear">BYD sold 7,231 battery electric cars (BEVs) in Europe in April</a>, edging out Tesla, which sold 7,165, new figures from JATO Dynamics show. Although the milestone represents a symbolic turning point in the European EV battle, it didn&#8217;t dent investor faith, as Tesla shares gained more than 2% on the day of the news.
It's the first time a Chinese brand has outsold Tesla in Europe's BEV segment, a region where the U.S. automaker has long held the pole position. BYD's ascent has been swift: the company began serious expansion into Europe only in late 2022. 
But markets appear to be betting that it&#8217;s only short-term turbulence for Tesla.
<h1 class="wp-block-heading">ETF Exposure: Why Tesla Still Matters</h1>
Tesla&#8217;s short fall in European rankings will be a speed bump, but for <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/etfs">ETFs tracking the EV and clean energy theme</a>, the larger picture still seems intact. 
Tesla is still a top holding in many of the large ETFs, like the ARK Innovation ETF (BATS:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/ARKK#BATS">ARKK</a>), Global X Autonomous &amp; Electric Vehicles ETF (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/DRIV#NASDAQ">DRIV</a>), and iShares Self-Driving EV and Tech ETF (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/IDRV#NYSE">IDRV</a>), and today&#8217;s market response indicates that few are heading for the exits.
ARKK continues to hold a significant stake in Tesla (12.95%), relying on its push into autonomous mobility, artificial intelligence, and robotics. The upcoming robotaxi pilot and production of the Cybercab next year are part of ARKK's high-conviction, future-focused strategy. For investors betting on transformative tech, Tesla is still a solid play. The fund was up 1.42% at publication on Thursday.
ETFs like DRIV and IDRV has a wider exposure across the EV supply chain, including traditional automakers, chipmakers and software providers. Tesla is still one of the top holdings in both, but these funds also include companies like NVIDIA Corp. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/NVDA#NASDAQ">NVDA</a>), Toyota Motor Corp. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/TM#NYSE">TM</a>), and Apple Inc (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AAPL#NASDAQ">AAPL</a>), which help cushion any Tesla-specific volatility. 
This diversified approach makes it attractive to investors looking to benefit from the EV trend without putting all their chips on one automaker. Interestingly, though, IDRIV has rejigged its portfolio to dedicate the largest percentage distribution to BYD. Both the funds were fairly non-reactive to the news today.

<h1 class="wp-block-heading">Short-Term Wobble, Long-Term Vision</h1>
Tesla&#8217;s recent delivery downturn, continuing production interruptions and waiting for updated models such as the new Model Y have caused short-term headwinds. 
The stock is down more than 9% so far this year on an aggregate. Nevertheless, the company&#8217;s long-term strategy, backed by robotaxis, AI-based innovations, energy storage and next-generation vehicle platforms, is still compelling. Tesla&#8217;s pilot robotaxi launch will start as early as June in Austin, while a larger commercial fleet (Cybercab) is scheduled for 2026. 
For ETFs such as ARKK, which are constructed on narratives of innovation, Tesla still fits the thesis.
<h1 class="wp-block-heading">BYD&#8217;s Rise = A Diversification Opportunity</h1>
BYD&#8217;s increasing foothold in Europe, despite the tariffs on Chinese manufacturers imposed by the European Union, underscores the need for geographic diversification across EV ETFs. Funds like KraneShares Electric Vehicles and Future Mobility ETF (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/KARS#NYSE">KARS</a>), which encompass both Western and Chinese carmakers, are uniquely positioned to capitalize on the worldwide nature of EV growth. BYD is also growing rapidly, doubling international sales in April on a year-over-year basis, and establishing manufacturing platforms in Hungary and Turkey to circumvent EU import tariffs.
<h1 class="wp-block-heading">ESG Considerations And Musk&#8217;s Shadow</h1>
Tesla CEO Elon Musk, remains a magnet for attention, some of it unwanted. Protests and controversy surrounding his politics have generated backlash in the U.S. and Europe, creating an overhang for ESG-oriented funds. Nevertheless, for most ETFs, the firm&#8217;s role in electrification and renewable energy exceeds the reputation risk, at least in the short term.
<h1 class="wp-block-heading">Room To Grow</h1>
Tesla&#8217;s affordability, volume expansion, and capital-free manufacturing focus is unbroken. The firm is targeting lower-cost models and expanding production with minimal incremental capital, aiming for a 60% uplift ratio over 2024 levels. Its energy segment is also picking up, with record Powerwall installations and expanding margins.
<h1 class="wp-block-heading">Conclusion</h1>
BYD&#8217;s passing of Tesla in Europe&#8217;s EV rankings is news-worthy, but not necessarily the turning point. ETF investors and the broader market seem to be seeing through the noise and concentrating on fundamentals. Tesla might be facing choppy waters today, but it remains an ETF pick and is at the center of the future of mobility and innovation.
As the EV industry continues to grow, ETFs that accept Tesla&#8217;s long-term vision along with the emergence of legitimate challengers such as BYD might be the most balanced way to go.

Tesla Robotaxi Rival Waymo Reaches 10 Million Paid Rides Milestone As Self-Driving Cars Step Into The Spotlight

Despite the overvalued nature of the stock based on its price-to-earnings metric, Tesla Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/TSLA#NASDAQ">TSLA</a>)&#8217;s CEO, Elon Musk, has defended the company&#8217;s growth, citing its stock prices, shrugging off the fundamental worries surrounding the carmaker as highlighted by experts.
What Happened: During the Qatar Economic Forum on Monday, Musk highlighted that Tesla&#8217;s share price was the measure of its business&#8217;s success. 
&#8220;You can just look at the stock price if you want the best inside information,&#8221; he said as per <a href="https://finance.yahoo.com/news/elon-musk-tells-investors-teslas-stock-price-shows-company-is-in-a-good-place-dont-worry-about-it-143940828.html">a</a> Yahoo Finance report.
&#8220;The stock market analysts have that, and a stock wouldn&#8217;t be trading near all-time highs if it was not, if things weren&#8217;t in good shape. They&#8217;re fine, don&#8217;t worry about it.&#8221;
According to <a href="https://pro.benzinga.com/dashboard">Benzinga Pro</a>, Tesla shares are trading at a price nearly 158.730 times its 2026 earnings. At the same time, the average forward price-to-earnings of its peers stood at 25.75 times, implying that Tesla was 6.16 times more expensive than its industry's average.
However, Gordon Johnson, the CEO and founder of GLJ Research, countered Musk&#8217;s statement with examples. In an X post, he highlighted that &#8220;If: high stock price = good underlying business fundamentals, then WorldComm + HealthSouth + Enron + Tyco + etc. would never have gone bankrupt.&#8221;
He explained that the stock prices were simply a reflection of a stock&#8217;s demand, which could be influenced by factors like CEO comments and pump-and-dump Wall Street analysts.
Taking a dig at the Federal Reserve and Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent, Johnson further stated that the Fed&#8217;s purchase of Treasuries by printing money was also a reason for the artificially created demand for stocks.
