The Wedbush analyst said he believes Tesla's price cuts are "mostly in the rearview mirror," and gross margins will start to rebound as a result. Ives pointed to the upcoming Robotaxi event on Oct. 10 as a major catalyst, with updates around Tesla's FSD (Full Self-Driving) technology and AI across the Tesla ecosystem. 

"Overall, we see positive catalysts ahead for Tesla and a compelling risk/reward stock with ‘We, Robot’ robotaxi event coming ahead and solid delivery momentum seen this quarter," Ives wrote. 

The research firm anticipates Tesla's deliveries to hit 1.8 million in fiscal year 2024. Wedbush maintained its Outperform rating and $300 price target on Tesla stock.
