TSLA-Einride Deal for Tesla Semis: Should You Get Too Optimistic?
Tesla (TSLA) secured a 500-unit order for its electric Semi trucks from Einride, set for delivery starting September. Einride plans to integrate the trucks into its Saga AI platform, serving clients like Amazon (AMZN). The deal follows Tesla's April 2026 commencement of high-volume production. Tesla shares are down 22% YTD, with a forward P/S ratio of 12.21. Analysts expect 8% and 32% EPS growth for 2026 and 2027, respectively.
