**Critical** Game Changer for Tesla Stock [Must Watch]
FULL TRANSCRIPT
holy smokes we got a lot of color from
Elon Musk last week from the Tesla
earnings call earnings report and quite
frankly what we saw in the stock
movement I don't think anybody can argue
that movement was insane in fact
historically it was insane the largest
move ever in the last 10 years for Tesla
stock in just one day up 22
percent really incredible and when you
look at the numbers the numbers were
rightfully so incredible but in this
video we're going to go into detail
we're not only going to talk briefly
about what we heard from the actual
earnings and earnings calls and some of
the numbers but we're actually going to
dive into the valuation of the company
we're going to talk about what is a fair
price for the company today in 2026 in
2027 is it fair to include robotaxi or
not and what do the numbers look like if
we do include Robo taxi let's do that as
well as speculate on what are these
lower cost vehicles that are going to be
introduced in
2025 let's talk about all that in this
video but first did you know and this is
just a fun fact and it's about Tesla did
you know that in 2014 Tesla introduced
convertible bonds that paid just a
quarter of a percent per year in
interest people might ask themselves who
the heck would in invest in a
convertible bond that just paid a
quarter of a percent of Interest like
why even pay interest at all it's
because convertible bonds are actually
really amazing they give you the
opportunity to participate in an upside
with yield and you get preference in
Liquidation in fact take a look at this
Forbes article here that shows you in
2021 when this article was written these
convertible bonds converted to shares
worth
800% more
than what people invested in those
convertible bonds for so it really goes
to show that these long run bets on
Tesla they do tend to pay off so
congratulations to the people who made a
lot of money on those convertible bonds
and hopefully that continues for the
long-term future for Tesla if you
haven't heard yet though I did take
inspiration from Elon Musk and exactly
this right here we created convertible
bonds over at hous hack that's my
startup if you haven't heard of them yet
go to househ hack.com you can learn all
about them it's a 5% convertible bond
which means you get paid 5% not one
quarter of a percent you get 100% of the
stock upside with downside protection
and you get paid interest on a monthly
basis it's pretty awesome go check it
out over at house hack.com we're also
running at a Q4 annualized profit which
means everything we raise goes into what
we do best wedge deal real estate and
yes while we're no car company I think
we're a killer real estate company and
yes we use AI in our work as well you've
all seen my wedge finder and it's
awesome with that let's hit some of the
numbers okay adjusted epsb 20% this is
remarkable Tesla's not generally known
for beating and then beating by this
magnitude amazing the adjusted earnings
per share were great uh 72 cents versus
60 cents remember adjusted usually adds
back in things like stock based
compensation but still 72 cents versus
60 it's a 20% beat amazing and margins
honestly fantastic excluding credits the
market was expecting a
14.9% uh Automotive gross margin and we
ended up getting
17.1% like I'm just stumbling over those
words because it's so good now I
estimate that about 1% of that was
likely due to enabling full self-driving
on the Cyber Tru I think a lot of the
early C Iber truck adopters were
anxiously waiting for FSD and there you
probably almost have a 100% take rate on
FSD for the cybertruck early adopters
these are like your mega mega mega Tesla
fans so I would bet that about 120 basis
points uh of that beat was due to other
aspects and about 100 basis points was
because of cybertruck FSD enablement
which does mean there were still cost
improvements from battery costs coming
down or better Manu manufacturing
efficiency the cybertruck turning to
gross profit as opposed to last quarter
being uh a gross loss this is pretty
good so congratulations this is really
really good this means now a new vehicle
like the cybertruck that is so unique to
build and and so unheard of quite
frankly is actually creating a profit
for Tesla on every single vehicle that
they make from the Cyber truck that
absolutely impressive in fact in the
last quarter Tesla earnings report if
you look at my earnings video I say you
know what when you remove the Cyber
truck the Tesla margins are actually
pretty good and the reason I removed the
cybertruck is because it was still a low
uh sort of volume vehicle the fact that
it's already at gross profit and now
it's
contributive w that's freaking amazing
let's go this is really good also in the
prior reports I was a little jaded that
they weren't actually going to fully
build out this semif Factory facility
and at this point at least it looks like
they are actually walls up and prepping
out the semick factory so
congratulations Tesla these these are
very good things now not everything is
good but these so far are very good
things uh we're getting up to
50,000 h100 uh chips Nvidia chips online
by October although Elon Mak makes it
clear that we're not really compute
constrained here we're actually more and
this was sort of a humble brag
constrained by the lack of finding
problems in FSD in other words Elon was
basically like yeah we find problems so
rarely with full self driving that now
we're kind of just sitting around going
like like where is the problem for us to
solve and I'm like okay that's a pretty
pretty clutch humble brag I actually dig
it uh mega pack Factory expected to ship
mega packs in q1 2025 just to give you
perspective as to what that means laop
produces about 40 gwatt per year
Shanghai is expected to get to 20 gaw
which would be a 50% increase in the
energy business for the mega pack side
and that's phenomenal and the mega pack
and energy business makes money it is
like I mean you're talking over 30%
gross margins when I mean we used to
celebrate Tesla for having 30% gross
margins on cars during the stimulus days
they have that in the batteries it's so
amazing that it is absolutely crushing
nphase to the point where nphase is
complaining about Tesla in their
earnings calls if you read the last two
earnings calls from Tesla or sorry from
nase in both of the last two earnings
calls they are complaining about Tesla
they don't name them in the prior one
but they do in this one uh but they
reference Tesla in the prior one by
going you know and unnamed competitor
it's is bad like nface is getting smoked
by
Tesla and it kind of makes sense like if
if you're going to buy a battery would
you rather an end phase battery or a
Tesla battery like come on anybody
watching this video is like no man come
on give me the Tesla battery okay they
got the that's peee okay they got
pricing power in that aspect that's
great now obviously with pricing power
you have to also consider valuation
which we'll talk about but I have to say
this was pretty good so then we got into
some of the things where I'm like okay
so we got the good out of the way here
we get into
the okay where are you going with this
Elon so Elon forecasts 20 to 30% vehicle
growth and this is what I think is
really interesting he talks about no
$25,000 car that basically a
$25,000 nonroot taxi car will not happen
so he's officially 100% killed the
$25,000 nonroot taxi car it's over now
that exactly aligns with what Reuters
told us and everybody said was fake news
it's just fake news Reuters back at it
again or whatever but he literally says
right here yeah well we're not making it
okay so so however we want to look at it
there is no $225,000 nonroot taxi car
now is it possible that that the robo
taxi is the $25,000 car yes in fact
that's what Elon says he says the
$25,000 car is the robo taxi that is the
robo taxi now of course they do plan to
have more affordable models now this is
what I think is really interesting
because I'm thinking myself wait so if
you're not doing a $25,000 car and the
$25,000 car is just the robo taxi then
how are you going to have more
affordable models and let me show you
this in the actual earnings call so
regarding the vehicle business we are
still on track to deliver more
affordable mod models starting in the
first half of
2025 you know this is I think probably
people are wondering what they should
assume for vehicle vehicle sales growth
and at the risk of you know a rough
estimate we think it'll be 20 to 30%
blah blah blah BL blah okay we think
with our lower cost vehicles with the
Advent of autonomous something like 20
to 30% growth next year is my best case
okay all right let's unpackage this
because this is where things start
getting a little bit nuanced where you
kind of have to put your Elon hat on a
little bit and go all right what are you
saying because this the initial takeaway
is got it no $25,000 Robo taxi vehicle
but you're going to have new lower cost
cars wait did he say new lower cost cars
now forgive me for being jaded here but
I want you to read this line right here
so regarding the vehicle business we are
still on track to deliver more
affordable
models oh okay with our lower cost
vehicles with the Advent of
autonomy wait hold on a sec is it
possible then that what Elon is saying
is we're going to have the 25k Robo taxi
okay that's going to be on one side of
the equation and on the other side we're
going to have more affordable existing
models notice he did not say more
affordable new models we've already seen
Tesla vehicles lose 20% of their value
basically uh based on just new vehicle
price Cuts in uh well frankly this year
in 202 four that's a lot that's a
substantial amount of hits uh and on top
of that you've got elevated inventory
right now so when you factor in elevated
inventory 20% price Cuts some on Wall
Street call literally you're calling
Tesla right now quote the worst auto
brand in terms of resale
value because of these price cuts and
the likelihood of more price Cuts coming
a lot of folks look at this and go oh
we're just going to get a lot more price
Cuts that's what we're going to get so
now this starts making sense okay fine
then so if the more affordable models
are not new models they're just existing
models that are going to be cheaper then
if you're potentially in the market next
year for a model 3 or model y you should
potentially
expect lower prices next year now that
doesn't necessarily have to be a bad
thing for Tesla because a lot of folks
expect that Tesla is going to continue
this 30-day free trial push where every
time they have a new software update
they give you a 30-day free trial on FSD
they try to hook you into FSD and then
they try to get you to Fork over eight
grand to pay for FSD and frankly it
seems to be working because their
margins are going up and I have to give
them credit for this they are converting
people and you know me like FSD is good
I've been using FS since 2017 do I think
it's ready for full autonomy no are
there still bonehead things that happen
yes but they have been further and
farther between every single time I use
it and so I have to give credit where
it's due and congratulations like it it
is going great so I think this 20 to 30%
vehicle growth even though we didn't
really get color on where this vehicle
growth is coming from I do not think
there is a new model I actually think
it's just the existing models with lower
prices and potentially more credits from
you know whatever uh tax credits State
credits you name it so we'll see now
obviously the election could have some
impact on that we'll talk about this but
uh I do think there was a lot of
confusion around this and I think that
my thesis clears this up because Elon
also makes it very clear that the
nonroot taxi $25,000 car would be
pointless that the future is a
autonomous and frankly Elon is right
when he says you should not invest in
Tesla if you believe that autonomy is
not going to happen at Tesla in other
words the only reason to invest in Tesla
is if you actually believe Robo taxis
and full autonomy are going to happen
now I personally am of the mindset that
you don't actually need to get to full
autonomy to make Tesla extremely
profitable you just need everybody using
FSD and you need to print as many
affordable Vehicles as possible which
maybe that's what Elon is also doing
he's saying like let's just cut the
price on the three and Y as much as
possible to print as much of those
suckers as possible to get as many FSD
revenues coming in as possible in the
meantime we're just going to develop the
25k car and honestly to
that
cheers I don't really think you need a
new
model I mean don't get me wrong I'd love
a larger model but I don't think you're
going to get it I think it's all going
autonomy so don't expect a new model
from Tesla that's it any of the new
models are just solely autonomous that's
my take so uh let's uh let's touch on a
little bit more obviously he mentioned
things like energy is on fire Optimus
showed massive improvements in dexterity
movement on 1010 I thought it was
actually really funny that he said
Optimus showed massive Improvement on
dexterity movement yeah because we know
we didn't get to see autonomy on
autonomous on on robot toxy day or I
Robot day we robot day whatever what we
saw was human controlled robots and we
did see fantastic dexterity which I
covered in my live stream as well I'm
like yeah this looks really really good
it shows the function but these are all
human
controlled that should be obvious at
this point I also think the FSD Vehicles
were you know on their own version of
FSD we already know they were on hard on
on um better Hardware way overbuilt
Hardware but I think they were basically
on a pre-programmed path and this was
really like a Disney World ride which
forgive me I just came from Disney World
we we had a wonderful time by the way we
did a VIP tour and uh we did um all four
parks in a day I don't recommend that we
got all the great rides in uh but uh it
is it's a little quick dang though that
Guardians ride really solid really
really really big fan and if you haven't
seen yet not sponsored Universal uh the
new universal theme park in Orlando
Florida is opening Memorial Day and and
I already pre-order tickets to be there
like ASAP when it opens so I'm kind of
excited for that I have a big like theme
park fan but anyway uh let's let's get
into like numbers and valuations here so
this is all overall very exciting uh and
I I you know I don't know where I stand
with elon's 20 to 30% growth for next
year especially with some of the pain
that we're seeing in Europe and I think
some of that pain is going to extend to
the United States now don't get me wrong
I know Volkswagen is Legacy but
Volkswagen is echoing what Tesla is also
seeing in Europe which is a warning that
quote the car market in Europe is
stagnating and will not recover in the
foreseeable future and that there is a
worsening economic situation in Europe
and when you combine that with what I
think is coming for the United States
and really what's going on in China
outside of the stimulus that's going on
I'm not the biggest fan of the global
economy and and some of the valuations
where are but let's just actually get to
some of the sheets and numbers and
understand where valuations are so we're
going to do a few things uh the first
thing that we're going to do is uh I'm
going to show you the spreadsheet we're
going to go through this spreadsheet in
a moment but before I hit the
spreadsheet I want you to have the Wall
Street version so the Wall Street
projected next 4-year EPS growth rate is
29% now that could be low but basically
if you take earnings per share at the
end of 2024 and you look at the next
four years you have a 29% growth rate in
earnings per share projected if you look
at Tesla's current PE ratio price to
earnings ratio it's at 112 that's simply
today's price like 270 divided by you
know 240 or whatever the end of year
estimates are for
EPS so that means your PEG ratio right
now is
3.87 which is really really high based
on wall Street's projected next four
years if Tesla is a software company
I think their Fair Peg would be
2.69 which gives them a fair value today
of
$187 if they're a manufacturing company
they have a fair value today at a $ 1.69
Peg of
$159 which means yes there is a lot
being priced in now if I go to the end
of next year as a Manufacturing Company
I'm at 159 on a peg basis if I'm a
software company at the end of next year
I'm at
251 so I'm we're still pulling forward a
lot here that's based on wall Street's
numbers we're going to go into my
spreadsheets which helps solve for some
of this in a moment but that's based on
wall Street's numbers I think this is
Tesla pulling forward software like
valuations but also frankly you're
really pricing in Optimus and autonomy
and probably more energy growth than is
already being priced in and I'm putting
in a lot of energy growth in this
already so do consider that there there
is a lot of enthusiasm being priced into
this and so if you've been really really
happy with what's been going on with
Tesla lately and you want to diversify
just a little I'm not saying you have to
sell everything I'm not even making any
recommendations to you I'm not a
personal adviser for you unless of
course you hire us over at stock act.com
but if you do want to diversify consider
the 5% convertible Bond over at house
hack because you get all the upside in
the stock and you get downside
protection and you get paid 5% interest
every single year for a minimum of five
years now this video can't be a
solicitation and that offer does expire
December 13th Taylor Swift's birthday
probably coincidental but anyway go
check it out at house.com okay now let's
go through my valuation and and I want
to be clear this reconciles some of the
Wall Street problems so I'm not as much
of a bear as Wall Street is I I actually
consider myself pretty excited uh for
Tesla okay here we go $40,000 per
average vehicle selling price that's
roughly where we sit now we're going to
go with 3 million Vehicles produced this
assumes the best case of elon's best
case scenario because he said 25 to 30%
for the next 2 years compounded so that
gets us from about 1.9 million vehicles
to about 3 million Vehicles not
including any Robo taxi vehicles in this
estimate I will in the 2027 estimate I
uh include at $18 billion for energy
keep in mind right now on energy we at
about 2.3 billion per quarter so sits
about 9.2 per year annualized that sits
about uh 18 would be about a double in
two years okay very very generous I feel
like on energy and that that's high
margin very high margin on energy I'm
going to go with 18% vehicle margin I
think that's generous because I do think
we're going to see higher FSD I do think
we'll see probably stable energy credits
worst case a little lower uh but I do
think that uh prices will come down so I
think 18% you know we're around 177% X
credits now 20% with credits I think 18%
is reasonable 31% gross margin on energy
let's assume they keep that Services
leases these are nominal I'm including
FSD Revenue in vehicle over here so I've
moved that up here no Robo taxi income
or or Fleet income or anything like that
Opex leave it at 6% okay fantastic so
this brings me to almost $5 of eps which
is about 80 cents more than wall stre
estimates for 2026 so my price targets
are going to be higher than where Wall
Street sits so with uh for an auto
business with my earnings per share at
the end of 2026 I put this at a $248
stock well since the price of the stock
today is about 270 that does give you
over the next 2 years a about NE -4%
compounded annual rate of return of
invested return obviously not great it
basically means you full fully priced in
through the end of 2026 however if you
don't give them a 50p ratio which is
basically taking the growth rate of 29%
time
1.69 which gets you to 50 PE that's for
automotive and Manufacturing uh if you
go with the software side which is
taking a 2.69 PEG ratio multiplying it
by their growth rate of 29% you get to
78 times multiple if I change this to a
78 times multiple you get to 388 that's
where the money is look at that
19.9% growth compounded over the next
two years with a price target of
388 that's actually pretty sexy that's
pretty good now I personally would put
my you know my base case at more of a of
a 50 and I'd rather buy it at a discount
to that now no guarantees we're going to
get that but there is a chance that in
the face of regulatory Turles or any
kind of Hiccup or some kind of
recessionary fear or shock there is a
case where you do get a sub 200 shot at
Tesla again and that's where you're
going to start building in your margin
of safety now no guarantees that that
could happen but that's where you build
in your margin of safety in fact maybe
even sub 150 now again I know this
sounds crazy and I'm not saying this is
going to happen but I what I want you to
see is let's assume no vehicle growth
for a moment kill the vehicle growth
because there's a session or whatever
and leave the energy grow growth in some
of the other factors but now all of a
sudden if I go 150 and I assume
Automotive margins well 150 still gives
me 10% growth in the worst case scenario
over 25 and 26 assuming we stay flat
with vehicle deliveries so that's really
where you want to be uh I if you really
want to be more recessionary bare case
right okay now let's go 2027 now this is
fun so I reduced
the revenue per vehicle to 35,000 here
and that's because you introduce the
robo taxi vehicle which they then sell
to Consumers rather than running as a
fleet themselves it's easier to run the
math this way I go with a $25,000 car I
leave margins the same however I do
reduce the revenue per vehicle because
we have a $25,000 car I assume 1 million
Vehicles by the end of 2027 this could
be 2 million but I'm going to go with 1
million this assumes regulatory approv
as well and I give a little bit more of
a boost to energy as well I bump it to
20 billion okay same margins over here
18% 31% on energy uh operating expense
goes up a little as is natural with
higher income uh and so what I get over
here is
$5.7 of eps for the end of 27 at a 50
for automotive margins I get this stock
to about
287 which doesn't give you much upside
from where we sit today you really have
to price this company as a software
company to get upside from today if I
pump this to 78 uh that's when you get
to the 450 price Target there's that 18
19% compounded annual uh rate of return
continuing for another year so again to
really see the substantial upside from
here you have to price the company as a
software company you have to assume
Perfection and execution and that
regulatory approval I do think think
those things are risky because I don't
think we're going to get that regulatory
approval as quickly as a lot of folks
are hoping and I do think we still face
substantial recessionary risks and so I
personally think the valuation is on the
high side right now and again I'm
looking for more of a manufacturer's PE
ratio which if I go into a recessionary
mode here let me go ahead and pull off
the uh I'm going to go flat on the
regular vehicle growth so I'm going to
go 3 million drop that here to three for
more of a recessionary model I'm going
to go with 50 for 2027 I really want to
be sub 230 for my 27 model so
recessionary case for 2026 I want to be
sub 150 for 2027 I want to be sub 200
non recessionary best case scenario Elon
growth mode uh I on the automotive side
hey you know I want to be certainly sub
230
and uh over here on this spreadsheet if
I again I go back to that 3 million in
growth over here I want to be on the
automotive side ideally under uh the
future value here of 248 where I'm
actually getting a return so probably
closer to 200 uh again excellent
excellent work here in Tesla they've
done some great work in selling the
vision of the future of autonomy you
really have to believe that the future
is autonomous to go all in here and
Future's pretty good I have to say I
think they are on the right track like
there will be autonomous vehicles in the
future the question is are they going to
be in 2026 and 7 or are they going to be
in 2030 or 2035 I don't know I bought a
Tesla in 2017 and it's been 7 years and
we're we're still not full self-driving
right we are way closer than we were in
2017 but if we were 85% of the way there
in 2017 maybe we're 98% of the way there
it shows you the vast slowness I mean
even elon's now saying it's hard to kind
of keep training the model because we're
running out of issues to solve but we're
still not fully autonomous so on one
hand it's sort of like we're close but
on the other hand it's kind of like n
but we're not so it's interesting
because the edge cases those are the be
going to be the ones you have to perfect
to really get the regulatory approvals
uh so we'll see but anyway I have to say
overall very very impressive uh Elon it
was a great call it was a great vision
that was painted on 1010 it was a great
great demonstration uh I I know the
robots were remotely controlled and I
know the cars are I believe the cars are
on their own sort of new you know
pre-programed software that's fine the
vision was beautiful and that's what's
being priced in the stock right now I
also think there was a massive short
squeeze and they might pull it off
frankly if anybody's going to pull it
off I think Tesla will pull it off
anyway thank you so much for watching
this video I'm going to add a quick note
here on house hack just keep in mind yes
house hack it's not a car company so
while I compare to Tesla's convertable
Bonds in 2014 that paid a quarter of a
percent in interest and yes we're paying
25% sorry we're paying 5% over 5 years
that would be 25% not compounded right
uh but we're paying 5% per year think
about it this way we're a company that
buys homes we renovate them we rent them
out and then after we've held them for a
few years and we get to where we can
exchange them to avoid paying taxes we
could flip them flip them on the open
market flip them to
institutionalsales
we're real estate brokerage on top of
that and basically we Milk Money by not
paying taxes so consider that
uh uh for our model for house act that's
the really quick elevator pitch and if
you're interested in investing in that
upside or if you have questions email us
at IR house.com otherwise consider that
5% convertible at house act.com we've
got a non accredited round coming as
well soon so stay tuned for that that's
probably still about 60 days out maybe
closer to 90 days out it's in attorney
and SEC World we're working on it I I
don't want to forget about the non-
accredit investors as well thanks so
much for watching this video I'm glad to
be back and we'll see you 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 Go 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
