- TuSimple recently announced a delay to full production until 2025, as it will use retrofitted trucks to hit commercialization targets in 2024.
- TuSimple continues to expand its AFN with partnerships and has logged over 7,400 reservations, testifying to the validity of its tech.
- TuSimple may have to delay nationwide scaling of operations given the production delays.
- In addition, regulatory and safety risks may pose a major headwind to commercialization in the broader industry.
- However, a $2.3B market cap at 2x cash with a minimal burn rate offers a decently attractive valuation for a speculative take.
