Bullish Tesla | Musk Announcement & Price Target
FULL TRANSCRIPT
it's a moment of truth from us no one
including ourselves expected he'd be
this involved in Doge this involved in
Trump Administration and it's really
cascaded and I think this is a pivotal
moment for him all right so Tesla is
back to pre-election pricing Ron Baron
the Tesla bull is not going to sell a
single share and yesterday Kathy Wood
bought about 69,000 shares for her funds
the question now is what's next for
Tesla and what did we just hear
announced well multiple things we just
heard the first that I'd like to hit is
that at the delivery of Donald Trump's
new Tesla uh we saw Elon Musk announce a
potential doubling of production for
Tesla vehicles over the next 2 years
this is quite interesting because we at
the moment at least feel like we might
be slightly demand limited and might not
need more than the production that we
already have which sits at a capacity of
essentially matched with demand our
demand seems to be about 1.8 million
vehicles per year Nationwide or globally
uh and and our production is right
around 2 million it's likely that Elon
Musk is referring to the robo cab though
and optimism that the robo taxi will
sell substantially as they expand the
manufacturing for the robo taxi not just
in the Austin gigafactory but
potentially also open up a new location
within the United States now that does
create some potential unionization and
cost issues that I want to talk about
but first let's listen to Elon Musk
actually say
it helpful mentioned the I want to say
as as a function of the great policies
of President Trump and his
administration and as an Act of Faith in
America Tesla is going to double vehicle
output in the United States within the
next two years double big deal about
YouRock by the way he makes one car this
one I don't understand this one I don't
want but that's okay without a steering
wheel it comes out next year right tell
explain that please yes so well at the
the Cyber cab uh sauce production uh in
Texas next year and it's a self-driving
we have so much confidence in the
self-driving nature of it that it will
actually not have a steering wheel it
will not have pedals it'll either self
drive or not drive at all but it'll self
drive and I'm going to pass okay I like
that as a joke self drive or not drive
at all uh now a few things that we want
to detach from that first of all it does
sound like a little bit of a delay we
were originally told that the Cybercat
was going to begin production in 2025
this is now being delayed to 2026 now we
understand that uh you know they have
test models obviously that are are
produced this year but the original
understanding was that we would slowly
start production in
2025 ramp production in 2026 and be Mass
producing in 2027 it appears now that
the start of production is actually
likely getting pushed to 2026 so but
that's okay I mean you kind of come to
expect this it's Elon time right so but
another thing to consider here is when
Elon Musk suggests uh this um this
development in Austin Texas we have to
remember that we're paying Texas labor
and guess who's actually clamoring for
more tariffs against Canada and Mexico
it's the UAW now this actually makes
sense unions are his torically Pro
protectionist policies because that's
exactly what tariffs do tariffs
incentivize domestic production and that
means more jobs for American workers now
those are higher wage C like higher wage
jobs and therefore higher costs are
associated with that but is true you do
create those higher wage jobs
domestically which is exactly what
increases the potential strength for
unions more union workers potentially uh
means more potential Union do members
and a more powerful Union it wouldn't
surprise me that doubling down of
production in the United States versus
potentially the gig of Mexico that had
previously been considered before the
Trump Administration became a potential
new
reality would not only increase certain
costs for manufacturing these vehicles
at Tesla but also potentially increase T
Tesla's risks against unionization we
know that elon's not a big fan of
unionization that said the unions are
going to have to compete with Elon and
Optimus see Optimus could be that sort
of balancing force that gives Tesla some
leverage over hey look we want workers
to have jobs but you know we we're also
going to be shifting more to Optimus
over here so I expect some balancing uh
uh axe to be uh you know coming down the
pike uh in that front another thing that
comes out of what Elon just said is it
will either not drive or it will be
fully self-driving this again doubles
down
on the premise that there will not be
more affordable new models this has been
a big debate in the Tesla Community
everybody's been waiting for like the
model 2 right we've been waiting for
that for years and Elon Musk really put
that rumor to rest by saying there won't
be a $25,000 car that's not fully
self-driving because the future is fully
self-driving so why create something as
an
intermediate to this obviously people
have suggested got it so a $225,000 car
is not economically viable which is a
logical conclusion uh and to this then
there have been suggestions that well
maybe they'll come out with smaller
battery packs for other vehicles but
that was then flipped on mostly because
of the realization that a lot of the
margin the profit margin in Teslas comes
from actually selling you the battery
pack at a premium especially as lithium
costs are falling that also said we do
have a little bit of an indication that
there are demand problems uh one
potential indicator of that could be the
fact that Donald Trump is holding up a
notepad all cars have self-driving just
needs to be turned on Teslas can be
purchased as low as $299 a month or
$35,000 it's almost like a paid
sponsorship with the president of the
United States but then again many will
say Elon did pay quite a bit to get to
where he is and so maybe he deserves the
shout out uh but anyway uh we know we've
got 0% API limited time only apparently
for the model 3 but something else I'm
noticing here is inventory model Y is
now available at reduced pricing now
this is obviously very likely to be the
older model why not the Jun Juniper
update uh but what you're finding is the
new Tesla's long range uh rear wheeel
drive models are selling for
$449 you've got here's the new model y
the up updated version uh here's the
updated version at 60,000 that's your
entry price for the updated version one
way you could ident identifi by the way
is look for the light bar it's very much
the Cyber truck style light bar and you
can see the old model right here so the
cheapest version of the old model is
that 449 level but if you go to that
reduced pricing section you get these
tabs right here you could actually see
some of these uh have about a
$3,600 price adjustment to them so you
could see a uh basic rear wheel model Y
without full self-driving it's going for
about 4139 90 right now which seems uh
basically the same as this one right
here there essentially no difference
that we could see in this uh with the
exception of the price and that one is
already built and one is not now I find
this very interesting because to
me you know these these aren't even demo
models seeing a price reduction on
inventory of somewhere around what was
that $3,000 $4,000 uh 10% $3,600 let's
do that it's about 8% eh about 8% %
let's do the math here 3600 divided by
and then off of the um original price uh
449 that is a price reduction of about
8% uh it does suggest that there is a
limit to the amount of demand we could
actually hope that Tesla have at least
with current models now is it possible
that we end up getting some you know
more refreshes like Model S and X
refreshes of course uh and and who knows
you know maybe those will increase some
pricing power here but this idea of
manufacturing 2 million more Vehicles
over the next two years it it cannot
come from the traditional vehicles at
least not at this current pricing
structure it's not it's not likely going
to come with smaller battery packs so
Elon Musk is likely assuming that we
could manufacture somewhere around 2.3
million cyber cabs per year within the
next two years and that does align with
his mass production ramp thesis of 2027
2 years from now is 2027 and that's when
he thinks he could be mass-producing
cyber cabs now of course we still have
to prove that the Cyber cab can be 100%
full
self-driving and that is exactly what
Morgan Stanley says is really the next
Catalyst for Tesla in fact Morgan
Stanley put together this report right
here and they say that according to
their valuation Tesla is selling at a
pretty big discount at only 19 times on
a PE ratio basis for 2030 based on their
2030 estimates now I personally think
that when we start getting companies
that are predicting stock prices five
years out as opposed to talking about
what the valuations are today and then
assuming you know some kind of growth
rate over the next few years so we have
a metric to watch it usually when we get
these five to 10 year price Horizons we
just get disappointed I hate to say it
and I'm not trying to sound like a bear
just saying it's not my version of doing
analysis I like to say where are we
right now how much can we grow to next
year and can we grow again the year
after that
yesterday we did that math so I'm not
going to rehash all of that math and the
valuation we covered that math yesterday
and encourage you to watch it on the
channel however it's worth mentioning
that if we can get to 2 million cyber
cabs and full self-driving it would make
Tesla look like a bargain today that
would be fantastic so if you think that
what Elon mus just announced is
possible then you might want to Discount
how much that might be worth to you uh
in fact what we could do is we could
update a little bit of the evaluation
that we had yesterday and just assume
some of those numbers and you could see
some of the other numbers yesterday and
today's you know PE ratios and that but
let's just go right in 4 million
vehicles for the end of 27 so we'll go
to the end of 2027 we'll do 4 million
Vehicles I'll pull this up in a second
we'll go with
margin I don't think the Cyber cab
margin is going to be that great so I'm
going to leave it at the same level that
margins currently are so I don't think
you're going to get a margin Improvement
because I think they're going to sell
them for a lower price right even if
they are able to be manufactured at a
lower cost I think you'll sell them at a
lower price so you probably keep
consistent margin ratios uh and if we
produce 4 million cars and value Tesla
as a
manufacturer well that would bring us to
a valuation of about $31 by the end of
27 which is about you know two and a
halfish years out now if we had a full
self-driving Fleet and we valued it as a
service company sure then maybe we could
get back into the 400s where we were in
December but I mean look everybody
looked at those numbers in December and
we're like wait a minute this has gotten
a little ahead of itself but Morgan
Morgan Stanley actually has a really
good line for this and I kind of agree
with them that Tesla's stock price tends
to really affect sentiment for the
company look at this I I completely
agree with this having covered Tesla for
nearly 15 years we find that the
investor narrative around the company
tends to follow a share price the share
price
in December when the stock was testing
$500 a share the prevailing sentiment
was that the company is an AI winner
with untapped exposure to embodied AI
Expressions such as humanoid robotics
today with a stock down 50% our investor
conversations are focused on management
distractions brand degreg and a loss of
Auto Sales quite interesting for them to
say that because even Dan
IES just talked about how Elon needs to
stop being distracted with Doge
basically and double down on Tesla and
that's Dan Ives who's you obviously a
Tesla Uber bow it's a moment of truth
from us no one including ourselves
expected he'd be this involved in Doge
this involved in Trump Administration
and it's really cascaded and I think
this is a pivotal moment for him few
trillion I may I believe when it comes
to physical AI autonomous robotics
they're they're actually the best
position coming in the world but with
that said to hear musk continue to talk
and and again on social media as well
it's really us trying to explain like
look this is the time very similar as we
saw during Twitter very similar as we
saw even c a year and a half ago this is
the time to lead it's the time to be CEO
because I think patience is wearing thin
among investors and it was really to
communicate those thoughts and I think a
pivotal time for the stock now with all
of that said uh what's my take well I
personally think that it would be a lot
cheaper if we could manufacture in
Mexico
uh and not have a trade war that said
I'm not optimistic that we can
manufacture 2 million more cars unless
we're convinced that Tesla can actually
solve full
self-driving I'm not sure that we're
there yet we know that cyber caps are
expected to have the sort of Hardware 5
version of Technology we expect that
most of the hardware 3 vehicles are
going to have to get upgraded Hardware 4
vehicles like the cybertruck right now
they're pretty good they're not all the
way there especially dealing with those
edge cases the predictive edge cases
it's problem problematic issue but we'll
get there but by 267 if we've haven't
gone into a recession remember we we not
only have the upshot of the Cyber cab
but we also have the cybertruck
production that's an upshot so this is a
lot of American production so there is
definitely real Hope on the horizon uh
and and it could make you bullish as
long as you're optimistic in FSD and
excuse me Elon mentions it himself if
you don't believe in Tesla ability to
solve autonomy don't buy the stock so I
think that's a that's actually sort of a
fair disclaimer there uh but again
you're going to face UAW risks with more
uh us manufacturing over time over time
especially as uh Optimus production
scales up although that'll be an offset
so we've talked about that but again as
as far as demand these these price cuts
that we're seeing are slightly
problematic and again it is on older
inventory you know people might want the
launch edition but you can't get the
launch edition unless you're willing to
pay $60,000 versus $45,000 000 that's a
whole chunk more it's 33% more right so
with all of that said together I think
when you look at Tesla today you really
can't say anything about the stock until
you have more certainty on FSD until
then what you're really going to be
stuck with is evaluating all right what
is the economy going to do you know
Trump classifying Tesla vandalism as
domestic terrorism that's great it's a
pat on the back to Elon but you really
have to ask yourself is the economy
going to come out of this sort of tariff
hiccup stronger then you've got to and
is Tesla going to solve autonomy then
you want to buy Tesla all day long right
so think about that short-term trade War
government shutdown Catalyst no
recession and Tesla solves economy
Tesla's probably a fantastic buy right
now if you question how quickly elon's
going to be able to solve autonomy that
maybe he will at some point in future
but it might take years longer you
probably don't want to buy Tesla right
now probably have more negative
catalysts as they miss that cyber cab
deadline in August which morg Stanley
talks about as well with their $800
price Target in the
future if you think that we're going to
go through a
recession probably also going to take a
big hit on some of the production
numbers uh and capital expenditures that
you're going to see from companies and
Investments and you probably see a
Slowdown on this anyway uh I mean even
Morgan Stanley tells you delivery data
has been below expectations this year
here especially with an aging lineup and
buyers uh uh you know basically striking
the brand
from you know the negativity that's uh
circulating in the mainstream media and
on social media something to keep an eye
that said they think that Tesla could
get to oh it's actually $800 within the
next 12 months sorry about that within
the next 12 months that's pretty
incredible the reason I think that is
because of the pull forward of
autonomous vehicles
now they as as a way of citing like
their evidence is an AI humanoid day
demonstrating the latest capabilities of
Tesla's Optimus is expected before the
end before year end and the release of
the robo taxi the unveiling they think
those two catalysts uh will shoot the
stock up to $800 so if you believe
Morgan Stanley that they're going to do
well at both of these potential events
then hey this might be another buying
opportunity for you on Tesla anyway
hopefully you found this helpful see you
in the next one goodbye and good luck
why not advertise these things that you
told us here I feel like nobody else
knows about this we'll we'll try a
little advertising and see how it goes
congratulations man you have done so
much people love you people look up to
you Kevin PA there financial analyst and
YouTuber meet Kevin always great to get
your take
