Don't forget that Tesla is en engineering company run by some of the world's most brilliant engineers. It is also the world's most advances manufacturing company with its Giga Factories that have never been seen before allowing it to dominate the EV market. Add to that that it has morphed into the world's largest energy company and mos advance AI company. So whatever is cooking behind closed doors, it will again totally change the transportation industry leaving behind the legacy automakers and evryone else wondering what happened. It is too bad that some of the top engineers have left the company but behind each person that left are another 10 brilliant end innovative engineers. It is interesting to note that Franz Von Holshauzen, Elon's key designer is still there. So whatever is going to happen over the next year; hold your breath and come along for the ride. P.S. don't worry about your Tesla shares, after some ups and downs they will just do fine and leave it to Elon to create some incredible shareholder value.

The only reason I can see him canceling the compact car is that robo taxi is so good that they won't be able to make enough of them for the robotaxi fleet and making one robo taxi car is kind of like making three cars for the amount of time it'll be on the road. Just thinking

Exciting time. 1) Robotaxi must have higher revenues per unit than $25k car, 2) punting $25k car a bit allows more time to ride the cost curve (eg, battery costs out of China) and avoid cannibalising existing models / manufacturing investment, 3) Elon wouldn’t do this absent high confidence in FSD sooner than we dared think (makes sense given new AI approach vs heuristics, increasing training data pace, and rapid acquisition of compute/ no longer compute constrained - all new factors now that weren’t there even 12 mos ago).

I TOTALLY AGREE WITH THE OPENING STATEMENT !!!!!

The big unanswered question about Robotaxi for me is who assumes the costs of lawsuits in both potential payouts and lawyers fees? I would only buy a fleet of Robotaxis unless there was someone with much deeper pockets than mine. Thanks.

I expect to see launch of vehicle with steering and pedals called Robotaxi with Driver Assist.” Full Robotaxi depends on extensive safety demo for regulations and public confidence. Thanks.

Great Channel Farzad IMO I hope Tesla can start delivering earnings growth instead of just talking about the company all the time.

Yes that why

I 100% agree that Tesla is avoiding the Osborne effect by claiming model 2 is delayed. Once that car is announced, model 3 and possibly model Y sales halt until the public can evaluate which model to buy. Clearly, it will canibalize model 3 sales.

You can try impossible things in software because there’s no material cost. You only get one chance in Hardware.

Maybe i missed it with your conversation, but i think a lot like they're doing with the supercharger network, Tesla could open up their fsd to other manufacturers. Other OEM could fit their vehicles with the appropriate cameras and then they don't have to reinvent the wheel with the software solution.

A very philosophical tone to this conversation. The nature of investing is a personal test of self confidence in your own reasoning. One must be ok with their decisions even if others say they are bad (sometimes said repeatedly). Because after all, sometimes you can not both be right. Value over time is created by these divergences in belief.

In Musk's most recent biography the author says that Elon didn't even want to put a steering wheel in the new low cost vehicle and his team had to argue with him to include it, which seems crazy. Maybe this new focus on the robotaxi is a sign of the reemergence of that debate within Tesla.

Everybody keeps saying these industries need to show up on the P&L. I don’t believe this, if Tesla would give a clear outline of a clear business plan people could extract the potential. What is the current rate of FSD. What are the critical issues still remaining to solve? Once this is achieved, how do we monetize the program. Once he become clear in these the stock will go crazy. Then to keep the stock up, the P&L will be required to support the growth.

Yep that why

08/08 Must show FSD Demo, Prototype reveal and incorporating Tesla Bot as walking talking part of event…. Let’s see some sizzle!!! 💥

Dilemma that Tesla has is that the compact car market is largest in Europe+Asia and North America will be first and large for robotaxi. Since the new platform and new MFG process will be pioneered in Austin that biases the roll out plan towards more Robotaxi initially and then more compact as Berlin and Shanghai plant #2 or India or ... comes on-line

❤ Farzad but not a beliver in the robotaxi provider to fleets regarding the interior customizations. The interior attachments must be planned for power, cooling, crash etc. I can get behind the theory that the robotaxi will be a 2 seater or they will make 2 versions 2 & 4-6 seats

Farzad, The 1st Trimester is the Most Critical for the child development… 🙏🏽 Fantastic analogy!

24:00 This was an ignorant comment. How can he not understand basic dynamics of markets and competition? Glad you mentioned who the real competition was.

Fingers crossed we see low 1's soon... The lower the better as far as i'm concerned lol.

Lads, have you considered the possibility that the issues with the 4680 battery ramp leave Tesla battery constrained, hence the squib on the model 2 announcement. Maybe Elon is loathe to rely on external battery suppliers in the short to medium term to meet model 2 demand.

Hans sounded like Arnie in that opening second.

I think you’re wrong on whether Tesla will operate robotaxi fleet. With Tesla’s software and updates being such a critical part of the taxi, they can’t separate themselves from operations like a Boeing could. What would make more sense is licensing FSD hardware software stack and releasing updates kinda like android.

I think the best strategy is to ramp production of model 2 and integrate robo taxi autonomy into that fleet. Tesla should then setup their own software (akin to Uber) which allows people to use their cars to for taxi service. Once Tesla has created an unsatiable demand for their cars + revenue + from FSD/taxi software + revenue split (same model as Uber) for taxi network. Then let then start integrating the “steering wheel-less” fleet as for commercial customers with specific use cases.

If they're concerned enough to comment, then their level of risk taking is too low... They need to decide what they want to do asap - either stick with it or give up. Why is it so hard to believe? If you don't believe now then when?

Boeing/Airlines analogy doesn't work. Companies like Boeing *NEED* the capital. They can't afford to make a fleet of airplanes, and operating them is WAAAY more complicated than a simple robotaxi. Interiors will all be the same, and I do think Tesla will operate the fleet themselves. I think it's the most logical thing for them to do, even though it is a new business to get into.

This is the best description of Tesla's current state that I've seen. The valley of despair.

So long as the Robotaxi looks like a regular car, a hatchback or something, adding a steering wheel and power/brake pedals with steer-by-wire should be easy. What I am staid if is that the robotaxi looks like a mini-van.

I would expect that Elon would give a more clear response then “Reuters is lying, again”. I believe Dan Ives is correct. As CEO, Elon should give clarity and guidance in the up upcoming earnings call.

Well I am not certain that people will want strangers in their car while it is unsupervised. so robot taxi as a specific vehicle makes the most sense

Close ...FSD as an APP, and Robotaxi as a service(?) FSD can be on your cellphone, and connect with any FSD-compatible EV platform. I get in the Ford/Chevy/VW, and my phone connects with the car, with my FSD driving profile. Ergo Robotaxi is a transportation service, but FSD is a full suite of mobile technology available to other cars.

My theories on the compact car: 1. There were two design teams, one for Robotaxi and another for the compact car. It became clear there was little need for both, and the compact is basically a variant of the Robotaxi. 2. Tesla decided the future of mass transportation is the Robotaxi and therefore there’s reduced market for the compact car, and also it’s a highly competitive low margin business 3. A Robotaxi could still have a steering wheel and pedals until FSD is level 4 and far safer than a human in all circumstances. The Robotaxi can be sold to both taxi companies and consumers.

Good robotaxies should be very different from a regular car just without a steering wheel and pedals. City robotaxi should be tall (making entry/exit faster, more comfortable and accessible), with more vertical seating position, much more space for luggage inside the cabin. Think Londons black cabs. It's a completely different body that works very well as a taxi, but very few people would buy as a personal car.

I dont want a Robotaxi…save it for city people and spin off that division. I love cars and trucks with unique functional personalities and like Tesla’s innovations. I want a Cybertruck and Roadster NOW! If Tesla/Elon sterilizes vehicles to generic/minimalist clones, I hope to have other choices…So long Tesla and thanks for all the fish!

I would say they are going to release the robo taxi app and then reveal the compact car but show it without the steering wheel and pedals and call it the robo taxi so they can test it in public without Osborning the other cars on 8/8

Btw, does anyone know why with every car being sold getting an FSD demo drive now, which takes approx at least an extra 30-45 min of a sales persons sales time. , are Sales people being let go.
