Options Market Statistics: Tesla Announces Robotaxi Launch Details; Options Pop
News Highlights
$Tesla (TSLA.US)$ had active options trading, with a total trading volume of 3.57M options for the day, and the put-call ratio is 0.73.
Tesla has shared more details about its upcoming "Robotaxi" launch in Austin, Texas, set for this weekend — and the news is more disappointing than expected. The service will include a human "safety monitor" in the front seat.
In recent weeks, many have argued that Tesla's Robotaxi rollout is mostly a PR move designed to make its self-driving technology appear more advanced, especially as competitors like Waymo take the lead.
Rather than offering fully autonomous rides, Tesla's service will rely on a limited, geo-fenced area and include remote support. It will be run by a small, internal fleet — a far cry from the fully driverless experience promised by Tesla's long-touted Full Self-Driving (FSD) program for consumers.
Unusual Stock Options Activity
There was a noteworthy activity in $EQT Corp (EQT.US)$, with $57 puts topping the highest volume to open interest ranking. The highest volume over open interest ratio reaches 165.3x with 22,652 contracts.
