Honestly, with the strong China delivery numbers and the renewed push from the U.S. government toward accelerating robotics, I feel like Tesla $Tesla Motors(TSLA)$  $Direxion Daily TSLA Bull 1.5X Shares(TSLL)$  $GraniteShares 2x Long TSLA Daily ETF(TSLR)$  is finally getting some momentum back. For months, sentiment around the stock has been stuck in "wait-and-see" mode, but Optimus being pushed back into the spotlight definitely changes the tone. Robotics has always been one of the most important long-term optionalities for Tesla, and now the market is being reminded of it again.

When Tesla is the only mega-cap tech name that hasn't hit a new high this year, it naturally builds pressure. The stock has been lagging while others ran, but that also means any catalyst—whether AI, energy, or robotics—can trigger a catch-up rally. The recent price action already hints that investors are beginning to rotate back in after months of pessimism.

That said, I'm trying to stay grounded. Breaking above the previous high at $488 by year-end is possible, but it requires more than just hype. It needs sustained delivery strength, margin stabilization, and at least one more major AI/robotics catalyst to convince institutional investors to re-rate the stock. The macro backdrop also matters—December can be volatile, especially with the Fed and BOJ both in the spotlight.

Still, I'm encouraged by how the market reacted to the Optimus updates. Tesla is one of the few companies where robotics isn't just a concept; it's already in motion. If the company can show a clear path toward commercial deployment or real cost reductions using Optimus internally, that could become a narrative-changing moment—one that the stock genuinely needs.

So yes, I do think Tesla has a real chance to rally into year-end, and the setup finally looks better than it has in months. But whether it can reclaim all-time highs will ultimately depend on execution and macro tailwinds. For now, I'm cautiously optimistic—and definitely watching the robotics story very closely.
