Check Rob Maurer’s podcast for the deets:1. Did I miss the reveal of what got so excited about from Tesla’s last all hands?
2. Is it just me or does the normal loud speculation of deliveries feel abnormally quiet?
If that’s really all it was then Tesla has some pretty boring all hands calls for that to have made waves.Check Rob Maurer’s podcast for the deets:
Elon is a Transformers fan?
I want to believe Tesla has solved FSD....
...but then I watch this guy's videos, and I just can't comprehend how version 9 can make such a big leap to overcome these obstacles.
The FED is now (and has been for the past year) buying investment-grade Corporate Bonds, excepting those rated 'junk', like Tesla bonds. Go figure.Upgrades can be useful for better rates and terms on debt, but that doesn't mean much to Tesla right now.
Yeah, I was taking the line from The Handmaid's Tale...I believe the phrase more commonly used by the Mormon Church is "and so it came to pass".............................as in "and so it came to pass that Tesla became the most valuable company in the world, and our December investments in TSLA went forth and multiplied!"
Consensus has gone up from 163k to 170k (probably skewed by Gordo's 250k ), Troy updated to Patreon supporters on the 25th with a lower figure.What do you mean? Did WS consensus numbers go up? Troy didn't release an update since the 16th.
So how did the other family members read it?I ran this tweet by a few family members and it’s clear not everyone reads it the same way. I read it as ...
How much is SpaceX worth?
Soooooo funny ! - yeah, I guess I see what you mean, ha ha@LiveLong&Profit I have to say, your new avatar kind of looks like a young Boris Johnson smurf.
All we need now is a mad scientist, and a monkey!You can borrow mine. I should warn you though, it makes you spend all your money on Tesla shares when the price goes down. I've had words, but it doesn't listen.
Good points - I mostly agree with most of them.OK, let's think about this theme where: FSD release => stock goes up ~3x, and all this happens in a few months
Market is of course forward looking, but how far ???
Let's take the best case scenario:
Now let's see how investors in various categories will react to this:
- Tesla releases FSD soon (within few months) too all who purchased / willing to purchase.
- First of all, we all know for a fact, that upon release it will be officially categorized as level 2 autonomy leaving the human with full responsibility.
- Then we get a long iterative march-of-9s to improve the NN based on feedback gathered from the fleet.
- This iterative process may easily last years before Tesla is confident enough to declare FSD as a level-3 or 4 system taking on liability in case of trouble/crash.
- Robotaxi revenue can come only after regulatory approval, which in turn only comes after Tesla is willing to declare the system level-4 or 5.
A) The uber-bulls (who believe the best case scenario + march-of-9s lasting only a few months so Robotaxi revenue can kick in before the end of this year) have already invested every single available and borrowable penny, so they will not be able to push the stock price any higher upon the release of FSD.
B) Some investors who are skeptical about the technical solution or Tesla's approach to solve the problem and are convinced otherwise by the release will jump in.
C) There is a group who are skeptical about the adoption rate or regulatory approval, who will wait much longer (until level4+ and regulatory approval)
D) There are also those who think "the competition is coming" and will be cautious even longer
E) There are other's who are waiting until actual financial results from robotaxi are proven
IMHO, to get Tesla into valuations higher than all other companies, will need investments from more than just group B, therefore I expect that to happen significantly later in the process.
Hm ... You are most likely right.I think I agree with Rob. Let's be honest, while Tesla is on a trajectory to possibly be the largest company in the world someday, the notion that it could happen a few months from now is simply preposterous. Elon must have mistweeted there and meant to tweet on another thread.
just think of it as one of a variations upon the belowHm ... You are most likely right.
On the other hand: I, for one, did not foresee the extreme ~8X TSLA appreciation in 2020.
Sometimes things do happen quickly, however unlikely that may appear beforehand.
Regarding supercharger access Tesla would be negotiating from a point of strength.I think its a genius demand lever to open up SuperChargers for the peasants.
Think about Leaf, Bolt owners - charging for double the time as Tesla owners.. surfing on their phones or whatever..
While Tesla owners barely have time to watch an episode of their favorite Netflix show - with cinema grade sound, before they zip away to their destination.
I'd consider swaping for a Tesla if I was one of those stuck in an inferior EV. They dont know better I guess, but to watch and experience what it is like to own a Tesla will open their minds. IMHO.
I have been a avid Tesla fan for a decade - and still both brother and aunt went ahead and bought a Leaf. Tells me - they have to be able to make up their minds on their own - experience/watch what a Tesla is all about. Sometimes when we who know gush about Tesla, all they get out of it is "He/She is just another fan, it cant be that much better than this LEaf I get a $6k discount on if I buy from the local dealer"..
I promise, I will be as quiet as those that don't believe in maxpain for the rest of the week end.I think it's time to strike Max Pain from our library of fundamental indicators.
The only rare event that may happen is people don't know how to evaluate what they see and start buying up the stock just incase. We were getting that with "Ev being the future and its profitable thanks to Tesla showing the way so let's buy up every stock that's ev related and ask questions later".Hm ... You are most likely right.

I don’t think they will deal with other carmakers at all. Ionity, EVGo, etc don’t need to deal with carmakers.Regarding supercharger access Tesla would be negotiating from a point of strength.
In addition to entering a contract with a given car maker, they can also require that a specific EV-owner that wants to use the Supercharger Network for their car create a Tesla-account, to enable the payment - giving them an opportunity to check out Tesla's other products...
Naturally, a non-Tesla, slowly-charging EV cannot reduce the Supercharger throughput. So the payment of the non-Tesla EV would need to be the greater of the price of the electricity they actually charged and the price of the electricity a Tesla could have charged in the same amount of time at the stall.
Looking at Tesla's recent conditions for buyers who opt to pay with Bitcoin, I am fully confident that Tesla will know to get the best out the Supercharger Network.
