Tesla (NASDAQ:TSLA) traded at $401.71, down 0.52%, at 11:05 a.m. ET on November 3 as its Robotaxi expansion faced a familiar investor test: turning more territory into earnings. Not a Tesla App reported that the service had expanded into Fort Worth, extending Tesla’s commercial reach. The rollout gives investors another milestone to assess, although it does not establish what drove the day’s decline.

More coverage could attract more riders; without those details, the potential revenue contribution remains difficult to measure.
The valuation leaves little room for vague progress. GuruFocus shows a GF Score of 87/100 alongside a price-to-earnings ratio of 441.93 and three severe warning signs. That combination suggests solid overall fundamentals coexist with demanding earnings expectations.
