Tesla stock sentiment
Among the most-discussed and most-polarizing tickers anywhere, trading on narrative as much as numbers.
How Quantral scores TSLA sentiment
Quantral reads the public conversation about Tesla across finance X, Reddit, Substack, and finance shows on YouTube, then distills it into a single signal score from 0 to 100. It is not a vote count: a hundred low-quality posts can matter less than a handful from voices with a real track record.
The score weighs how much TSLA is being discussed against how strong and credible that discussion is. The sentiment behind it is broken out across positive, negative, and noise, and the people driving it are weighted by their own record, so the loudest take is not automatically the one that moves the number.
The live TSLA score, its sentiment split, and the most recent mentions update continuously in the app. The monthly counts on this page are a dated snapshot of what Quantral tracked, not the live feed.
@chamath· Aug 12Tesla is going all in on nuclear. Actually it’s going all in on solar but they are the same thing - the sun is a nuclear reactor, just farther away.

Bullish and bearish views on TSLA
Monthly recaps of the Tesla chatter we track. In October 2026, 40% of tracked TSLA posts were bullish, 49% bearish.
Tesla joined top AI firms in Pentagon deals for classified work early May, sparking celebration and anger on r/wallstreetbets. Posters later joked about $131M in Cybertrucks for satellite launches, while others argued the stock was inflated or a ponzi scheme that kept rising regardless.
A rumor that SpaceX would buy 50,000 Cybertrucks to pump Tesla's EBITDA was widely mocked on r/wallstreetbets, with many calling the company a Ponzi scheme. X users speculated about a SpaceX/Tesla merger in 2027 while some traders bought deep-out-of-the-money calls, but the dominant view was that the stock was wildly overvalued.
Traders debated whether Tesla's Q2 sales gains came from deep discounts and SpaceX buying Cybertrucks, with many on r/wallstreetbets calling the stock overvalued. One poster was down $60k on puts, and chart watchers noted the stock breaking below Bollinger bands, adding to the gloom.
FSD v14 Lite launched in Korea and sparked a wave of real-world driving videos and buyer excitement, though a Tesla Korea employee later mocked customer complaints about delays on X. Meanwhile, a researcher doubted Elon's consumer robot pricing claims, and a trader noted the stock sat stuck in the 360s all day on the final day of the month.
In September, Tesla's Robotaxi app topped Uber, Cybercabs appeared in Tampa and Austin, and the company revealed plans to produce over a thousand robots weekly by year-end. Musk again hinted at merging with SpaceX, while Reddit users debated whether to hold or lock in profits, with one noting Tesla was the only Western EV maker competitive with China.
In October, Tesla's flying Roadster demo drew mockery on X ('should have cured cancer') and mixed reactions on r/wallstreetbets, where one called it a 'white elephant.' Some tied the event to a Tesla-SpaceX 2027 play, and later, earnings brought caution as traders braced for a post-report options slump.

Common questions about TSLA stock
Working through TSLA yourself? Our six-step guide to researching a stock walks a real name end to end.
The app has the live answer: a 0 to 100 TSLA score that updates as new posts come in, built from recent volume, the sentiment behind it, and the credibility of who is posting. In October 2026, 40% of the TSLA posts from the accounts we track were bullish and 49% bearish. The numbers on this page are dated snapshots.
Quantral does not publish price targets or forecasts. A high score means the TSLA conversation is loud and credible right now, nothing more. Quantral does grade the people who post TSLA price targets and predictions: every tracked voice carries a public record of how its past calls played out.
Between May 2026 and October 2026, $TSLA drew 1,849 tracked mentions across the curated finance voices Quantral reads on X, Reddit, and Substack. That total counts only the sources Quantral follows, not the whole internet.
Three inputs: how much Tesla is being discussed, the sentiment of that discussion, and the track record of the accounts driving it. The sharpest swings come when the tracked voices have something to argue over: an earnings date, a product announcement, a sudden price move.
Quantral reads a curated set of finance voices on X, Reddit, and Substack, plus finance shows on YouTube. It scores every TSLA mention from those sources for sentiment and grades each account or show speaker on how its past calls worked out, so a proven record counts for more than a loud one.
This page holds the dated trail: monthly recaps of the Tesla conversation and the tracked voices posting about it most. The live TSLA feed is in the app, where Quantral scores each new mention as it lands.
In the last 12 months TSLA insiders filed 66 open-market sales worth $87.7 million and no purchases. 91% of those sales were pre-planned 10b5-1 sales. These are Form 4 filings with the SEC, open-market trades only: option exercises, grants and gifts are left out.
A 10b5-1 plan is a trading plan an insider sets up in advance, while not holding material nonpublic information, that schedules future trades by date, price or formula. Trades then run on the plan, so a planned sale says less about the insider's current view than a discretionary one. In the last 12 months, 91% of TSLA insider sales were made under one.
The app shows Tesla's next confirmed earnings date, pulled live so it cannot go stale the way a date printed on this page would. Earnings is when the TSLA conversation peaks: tracked voices post their takes before the call and argue over the numbers after, and the score swings with them.
Tesla has split twice: 5-for-1 in August 2020 and 3-for-1 in August 2022. Quantral does not predict the next split; it tracks whether split chatter is building among the accounts it reads.
