<div id="readability-page-1"><div><div>To say that early 2025 has been difficult for Tesla (NASDAQ: TSLA) stockholders would be an understatement. Company profits and sales figures are way down, and many attribute this to the growing unpopularity of CEO Elon Musk. Despite that, Morgan Stanley analysts are bullish about the company's long-term outlook. Keep reading to find out why.Tesla's public fall from grace has been as sudden as it was unexpected. As recently as a year ago, the business world hailed Musk as everything from an innovator to a genius. Tesla cars were almost unchallenged as America's favorite EV, and the future looked even brighter. The bottom began falling out shortly after Musk took on a leadership role at DOGE.Don't Miss:<ul> <li>Hasbro, MGM, and Skechers trust this AI marketing firm — Invest before it's too late.</li> <li>Inspired by Uber and Airbnb – Deloitte's fastest-growing software company is transforming 7 billion smartphones into income-generating assets – with $1,000 you can invest at just $0.30/share!</li> </ul>Then there was his open embrace of Germany's far-right AFD political party. It all combined to create the perfect storm of unpopularity. Tesla sales plummeted in the U.S. and Europe despite rising demand for EVs. The stock tanked, and things got so bad that there were rumors that Tesla's board was quietly searching for a new CEO. That seems like a rather odd backstory for a stock that Morgan Stanley Analyst Adam Jonas rated as a &#34;top pick.&#34;To be certain, Jonas is not predicting that disgruntled Tesla customers will come rushing back anytime soon. His prediction is based on other factors, most notably the belief that Tesla is more than just a car company.

It is time to unleash the arsenal of democracy to control our energy destiny, and we at Morgan Stanley, at least, we struggle to find a name that's better positioned than Tesla to show us the way to do that.&#34;Jonas has given Tesla a rating of Overweight and set a $410 price target. That means he sees Tesla as roughly 20% undervalued. That's a bullish prediction considering Tesla's current circumstances, but he's not alone in his belief that Tesla could reach the $400 per share plateau. Benzinga compiled Tesla target prices from 27 analysts, who have a consensus price expectation of $295.23, but Stifel sees Tesla hitting $450.Wedbush's most recent guidance from February sees Tesla hitting $475 per share. Jonas's continued belief in Tesla is rooted in the idea that the company's other technologies and capabilities give it viability as something beyond a car company. That means this could be the perfect time for investors to get back on the Tesla train. <ul> <li>Invest where it hurts — and help millions heal: Invest in Cytonics and help disrupt a $390B Big Pharma stronghold.</li> <li>Deloitte's fastest-growing software company partners with Amazon, Walmart &amp; Target – Many are rushing to grab 4,000 of its pre-IPO shares for just $0.30/share!</li> </ul>Image: Shutterstock</div></div></div>
