Ron Baron, founder of Baron Capital, expressed strong confidence in Tesla stock during a CNBC interview, emphasizing the potential of the company's self-driving software as a key factor for future growth. His firm holds approximately $5 billion in Tesla shares, highlighting its significant investment in the electric vehicle market.
Baron noted that Tesla's Full Self-Driving (FSD) system is rapidly gaining traction, with a reported annual growth rate of 55%. Despite Tesla's own figures showing a 56% increase in active FSD subscriptions, Baron believes that the company's market share is expanding due to traditional automakers slowing their electric vehicle initiatives.
Looking ahead, Tesla's upcoming delivery report will be crucial in determining if the demand for FSD and record deliveries can sustain momentum amid a contracting US EV market. No further timeline was disclosed at the time of publication.
