Tesla is preparing to begin public employee rides with its purpose-built Cybercab autonomous vehicle in Austin this August before integrating it into its robotaxi fleet.
verdict FRESH, direction bullish -> long TSLA (product: Tesla is preparing to begin public employee rides with its purpose-built Cybercab autonomous vehicle in Austin this August before integrating it into its robotaxi fleet.)
overnight drift: long TSLA at close, exit next close (product: Tesla is preparing to begin public employee rides with its purpose-built Cybercab autonomous vehicle in Austin this August before integrating it into its robotaxi fleet.) [skipped at close: outranked — mat 65 long lost to mat 65 short (decision 14256) for S4 TSLA exiting 2026-08-31]
Signal (dominant factor): The bullish call was simply wrong — TSLA fell ~1.2% from entry, and the position never gained more than +0.27% while open. Timing: The move had not already happened; price was slightly down on the day at entry (-0.47%), so this wasn't chasing a stale rally. Exit: The -8.20 exit (~-1.16%) landed between the best (+0.27%) and worst (-2.32%) unrealized, so the exit salvaged roughly half the drawdown, but with a max upside of only +0.27% there was essentially nothing to capture. The trade failed because the directional signal didn't play out, not because of timing or exit execution.

S2 counterparty — trades the inferred counterparty ticker (weakest signal, LLM-inferred sympathy); exits at the same day's close.

Verdicts are decided top-to-bottom, first match wins; REPRICING is also the fallback when nothing else matches (2026-08-08 #220).
UNKNOWN — a needed price input (move since close or move in the last 30m) is missing.
PRICED — |move since previous close| ≥ 2.0%: already reflected in price.
REPRICING — |move in the last 30m| ≥ 0.5%: the tape is actively moving on it. Also covers a quieter move — |move since previous close| in [1.0, 2.0) with a quiet last-30m tape: still developing, not yet priced.
FRESH — |move since previous close| < 1.0%: a genuinely new move.
materiality — how market-moving the story was judged, 0-100 — alerts require materiality ≥ 60.
