Even though financials and guidance are amazing, I'm thinking we won't see a nice bump in stock price. Would be happy to be wrong but nothing we do is ever really good enough for Wall Street.

I share your skepticism of believing Elon when he says "FSD this year, for sure, honest, no really I mean it this time." I'll believe it when I see it, but I know it's close. It seems close for 2022 because the beta is in 60,000 cars in January, with zero crashes so far, whereas there have been an average of 106 fatalities every day this year, via human-driven cars.
Hummer EV is delivering to customers as of Dec 2021 (TINY volume initially of course)
I'm guessing you haven't driven the beta? I have, for a while now.
With a human ready to intervene it's pretty cool. It works well a lot of the time. Sometimes I can take a half hour or longer trip without having to intervene at all, especially if it's very little traffic around.
But it's nowhere near ready for use without a human actively ready to intervene.
I've had it lane change into oncoming traffic. Twice. And not in the old 2020 version, but recently. . More than a few times it simply refuses to proceed at an intersection without you confirming it's ok....or takes several minutes to proceed creeping the whole time, sometimes into the oncoming traffic lanes for a bit before going.
That said- Elon claimed on the Lex podcast recently they're doing Yet Another Fundamental Rewrite That Will Change Everything And Make RTs Real in v11, and he mentioned it again on the call today.
We've heard that several times- eventually I guess it'll be true, but it hasn't been for any of the previous rewrites so far.
What does a labeler do. Thank you for your patience.That'd be helpful, but I think you're wrong on that. When Tesla moved their headquarters to Austin, they didn't close their office space in Palo Alto. In fact, they leased another 350K sq.ft from H.P.

I suspect due to the sheer volume of data, the labelers need to be co-located with the training CPUs (bandwidth constraints).
This is just my WAG, but that's an awful lot of new office space for which we know of no other purpose. Does anyone know where the server farms are located for FSD training? Follow the Fiber...
Cheers!
I dont even see where he got these numbers but I am pretty dense. Any accountants around to decipher this?
It's good we learned to not expect much...Yeah, he send that tweet way back on Dec 3, 2021. A lot didn't happen since then... he could have skipped.
Elon should hire a script writer, these mad-libs aren't informative. Nothing new today from the "roadmap".
I normally love what you write, but with this sentence, I think it might be better to say that "If you don't believe Elon will EVER deliver full FSD..."For an investor my not-advice is that if broad FSD deployment is critical to your investment thesis, then reconsider whether Tesla is a good investment for you.
After the newly leaked prototype pics and video I was hoping for something more positive. At this point it sounds as if they still don't know how to make the Cybertruck.Were people expecting a new reveal and summer launch?

Yeah, these answers could age badly...id prefer the main narrative be unadulterated explosive growth, built upon their fundamental strengths (engineering, ops, logistics)
and, bonus, 4680 in the products right now, since that is the future foundation of products.
- let fsd/robotaxi and optimus be the whip cream on top, a year or whatever time is needed down the road
When in doubt zoom out, Eeyore! Wall Street may not respond correctly tomorrow, but even those dullards eventually catch on. If you've been holding for more than a couple years, you are doing better than 99% of all investors. This is a great day!Even though financials and guidance are amazing, I'm thinking we won't see a nice bump in stock price. Would be happy to be wrong but nothing we do is ever really good enough for Wall Street.
Think of the pictures that you "label" on Captcha. This is a stop light, this is a truck, etc. (this is not a stop light, this is not a truck). That's basically what a labeler does.What does a labeler do. Thank you for your patience.
When you are going to make millions of a large expensive complicated thing and you want to make it well and as cheap as possible it takes time, validating all that tames time. Packaging all that up in teslas usual slick way takes time and effort.
Yeah, except for all those lower middle class families with 2+ kids that do sports every weekend and go out. No way they will use this every.single.time in 2-5 years. This will take at least 10 years for society to get used to it ONCE it is normalized. So until then, we have all these families still driving their gas powered cars, polluting the environment, because A) Tesla won't make a cheaper car B) we sure as hell know none of the other automakers will be making as many cars as Tesla in the next 10 years. Hell, even GM's trajectory is for 1 million by 2025.What some are piecing together here is, Tesla will introduce FSD and robotaxi software, and Model 3 & Y owners will be able to offer their cars for rides for as little as $5 a ride - or less - depending on the distance and so on. A dollar a mile? There are a lot of people who can't afford a $25,000 new car and would have trouble paying for a $16,000 new car. But they are always open to buying an $8,000 used car or a $5,000 used car. Such cars aren't as safe to drive and usually come with a list of repairs or things that need to be done on them. If you can ride in a new-ish $40,000+ smooth+quiet electric car that drives itself, won't get into a crash, is very safe for you if someone else crashes into you, and you don't need to insure it or pay for parking it anywhere, and it only costs you $5, you are going to do it and work out how to avoid buying your own car. This is why the market for the $25,000 car isn't as strong as we think it might be. Anywhere globally. Because Tesla are working on FSD first. We should be thinking of the $25,000 car as the "$25,000 individually-owned and driven" car. In that light, it doesn't seem as important.
I certainly pay lot more attention to his posts than many others'You're still here?
I just wished Elon would't hijack these calls to talk about FSD every time. And now Optimus to. At this point almost nobody cares what he says about the timeline. He's a pretty smart guy. How can he not see that.
Do they even need additional factories if they solve FSD? I took away from the call no. Hence all the vague answers about new locations. I think you’re right Tesla is hedging their bets on solving FSD this year negating the need for 25k car, additional factories, etcI agree, but it really only has to beat the timeline for demand not keeping up with production of the current product lineup. At least, that's how I look at it. And if it isn't solved, then Tesla would pull other demand levers. I hope that doesn't happen though.
I think they do, as the mission is to accelerate the advent of sustainable transportation, so I'm thinking they need to hit a run rate of 10 to 15 million/yr to saturate the market in 10 years, assuming robotaxi is launched by late 2024.Do they even need additional factories if they solve FSD?
