Tesla Stock Today (Dec. 19, 2025): TSLA Holds Near $483 as Regulators, Robotaxi Momentum, and New Price Targets Shape the Outlook

Tesla, Inc. (NASDAQ: TSLA) is ending the week with investors focused on a familiar tug-of-war: near-term pressure on the EV business versus a market narrative that increasingly prices Tesla like an AI-and-autonomy platform company. As of about 9:55 a.m. ET on Friday, Dec. 19, TSLA traded around $483, roughly flat on the session after closing Thursday near $483. StockAnalysis What’s driving attention today isn’t one single headline—it’s a cluster of regulatory updates in the U.S. and Europe, fresh analyst commentary, and a reminder of how quickly Tesla’s stock can swing when the market rotates in or out of “AI” positioning.
