Past
What happened
Tesla rocketed 3.9% to $445, its best day in three weeks, after Piper Sandler argued current prices give investors Optimus robotics exposure 'for free.'
Why
Why it matters
The bull case has fully shifted from cars to robots and autonomy — Piper's sum-of-parts valuation implies $0 for Optimus at current prices, which is the narrative driving momentum buyers.
Watch
What to watch
Trump's China trip this week is critical — Musk is joining; any tariff relief signal for EV exports could push TSLA toward $460.
