The TOP is In: Tesla's Stock is about to Collapse.
FULL TRANSCRIPT
Well, it's that time again to do a full
analysis on what the heck is going on
with Tesla stock because we are within
$6 of all-time freaking highs on Tesla.
And it is coming because of quote
unquote leaked footage of a Tesla
driving itself without someone in the
car. At least from what we can tell. Uh,
and this makes a lot of folks pretty
dang excited because if we pull up robo
taxi progress charts, the big thing
pretty much on any of these charts that
we see that circulate, there are a lot
of different accounts that track this,
you know, here's uh Jonathan who tracks
this. A lot of different accounts that
track this robo taxi progress. And
what's important to remember is the
overarching key out of all of these
charts, the thing that everybody cares
most about is not whether there are
operator ads or whether there's a test
program or whether it's geoenced or not
or how many cars are deployed. Nobody
really cares about any of this. The
early applications for taxi service or
whatever. What people care all and
solely about is this no safety monitor
because we Americans and even
international folks, we don't want to
drive anymore. We want to sit in our car
and if it's a Tesla, you already know
the feeling. Elon Musk just made it so
you don't you can now text and drive and
FSD will actually work in the latest
update. Kind of incredible. Not
recommending it, just saying. kind of
incredible, especially since people kind
of do it anyway and then they have to
like disengage autopilot and they start
driving with their knee. You know,
Elon's lamented about that before. Like
it'd be safer if people are going to
text and drive to text and drive with
autopilot on rather than off. So, you
know, if that's safer, do we save lives
by just leaving autopilot on? Probably.
Of course, the extreme answer is, well,
nobody should be texting and driving,
but let's be real, like pretty much
everybody does. So, uh, doesn't make it
okay, but it is what it is. So anyway,
obviously the big next step is can we
get to the no safety monitor stage? And
what's gotten a lot of people really
excited right now is this particular
video right here, which uh says, "Just
saw a Tesla with no one in the car."
And this got a lot of people very, very
excited. Now, there are some asterisks
in this. First of all, this video
happens to be posted by an account that
literally has no history. Now, maybe
they just ripped it off of Reddit or
whatever, but they're implying that they
saw this vehicle. And it happens to be
followed by Omar. We're not sure when he
followed uh uh you know this account,
but the point is not only is it posted
by somebody with no account history, you
could clearly see there's a Cyber Truck
right here with somebody sitting in the
backseat of the Cybert truck, you know,
ready to video this. I'm not saying this
is necessarily rigged by Tesla where,
you know, you happen to have a follow
car right behind it, probably with a
kill switch and a Cybert truck right
next to it to videotape it. candidly.
Uh, who knows? Some people say this is
rigged. Either way, the car is driving
itself. In fairness, there's nobody
there and the car is driving itself. So,
like, you know, how rigged can it be? It
obviously is. Now, is it possible if the
weather was ideal and that, hey, you
know, maybe these were perfect
conditions where they got out of the
car, took the safety monitor out, and
did this small test of a segment. Either
way, even that would be great. Even if
these are all Tesla employees and the
Tesla accounts including their chief
autopilot engineers and Elon Musk and
the at Tesla account are all retweeting
this message. Oh wow, look a driverless
car. Who could have ever seen that? It
is a sign of progress, right? You
removed a monitor and there is progress
here. Now how does this affect the
valuation for the company, right?
Because obviously the valuation is what
everybody has a question about,
especially since we really want to see
the stock price keep moving here. I
mean, after all, we did see Ross Gerber
here, right on X, got the new Tesla FSD
update and within 2 minutes of driving
into the sun this, and it's the takeover
error. And then he says, "These cars
can't drive into the sun." To which, of
course, I appropriately and quickly
replied with, "We're not going to the
sun. We're going to the moon."
Anyway, let's talk about that valuation
because there's obviously with Tesla
always going to be jadedness on both
sides of the Tesla debate and we really
got to hit Tesla valuation. And I will
say I should probably also just to make
sure this is a thorough recap of what's
going on with Tesla. I should probably
also just briefly mention what Susie
Wilds apparently had to say about Elon
Musk. And um I I kind of think it's not
a surprise. It actually kind of is
probably good because this is what we
think about Elon Musk anyway that he's,
you know, an excessively hard worker.
But you're going to hear these comments,
so I may as well address it and then
we'll get to the fundamental valuations.
So in Vanity Affair, apparently the
Vanity Affair reporter has been talking
to Susie Wilds for a while uh about
various different people. She says that
Trump is like an alcoholic, although you
know, supposedly he doesn't drink, just
that his personality gets really
enhanced like all the time. Uh, and you
know, she was upset about tariffs. She
was upset about Pam Bondi's handling of
the Epstein files. But this was
interesting to me. It was that Elon Musk
is a complete solo actor. Well, we kind
of know that, you know, we we know that
Elon is uh basically like, you know, if
anybody's going to get it done, it's
going to be him. Now, she goes on to say
that he's sort of like a jacked up
vampire, kind of implying that he
doesn't sleep because he's on drugs all
the time, which she does go on to
literally say, "The challenge with Elon
is keeping up with him." She told me
he's an avowed ketamine user and he
sleeps in a sleeping bag in the
executive office building in the
daytime. He is an odd odd duck. I think
geniuses are, you know, it's not
helpful, but he is his own person. She
bagged on him for how quickly he shut
down USAD. Uh she thought there was a
better approach than just going in and
firing everybody and locking people out
of their offices, especially since
immunization programs being halted in
Africa would lead to the death of many
people in Africa. Which of course then
you get people on the other side of
they're like, "Why are we immunizing
people in Africa?" And the people on the
other side say, "Because that's called
diplomacy, so we could put the US label
on it so hopefully we breed fewer
terrorists in the world." You can make
arguments in many different sides, but
this is a freaking Tesla video. Okay, so
anyway, Elon's attitude is you have to
get it done fast. If you're an
incrementalist, you just won't get the
rocket to the moon. And so with that
attitude, you're going to break some
China. But no rational person could
think the US ID process was was a good
one. So Susie kind of has some not great
things to say here about Elon. It's kind
of like not great, not terrible. Kind of
like the economy right now. Like not
great, not terrible yet. Hopefully we
kind of keep staying up. Uh and and I
don't really love where Axios is going
because I do think this creates some
risks in 2026 that if Elon Musk is going
to get back into politics, I get nervous
because we've had some really negative
price action uh in Tesla. The last time
Elon got into politics. Remember pre uh
liberation, Elon got into politics and
what did it do for the stock. It's like
when Elon's not involved in politics,
this stuff goes to the freaking moon. I
mean 480. This is freaking awesome. Uh
but you know what happens if we go over
here to oh Elon's going to get into
politics like after the first one month
rally of us hitting all-time highs when
he actually got into starting working at
Doge. This crap went all the way down to
$218,
man. That's like a more than 50%
decline. I mean, gorgeous breakout over
here off of $347 on robo taxi progress
is why we had this breakout over here.
Really awesome breakout. Now, we're in
no man's land on a technical basis. We
have all-time highs to cover. Uh, and
that's it. Uh, you know, with which
we're within, you know, now 10 bucks of
during the recording of this. But that
said, you know, seeing Elon potentially
get back into politics, I'm not really
happy about this, right? Like Elon Musk
has begun funding the GOP's House and
Senate campaigns for the 2026 midterms.
He just can't stay away. Uh Musk, who
threatened to launch a third party and
support challengers to Republican
incumbents during his dispute with
Trump, is now firmly back on the GOP's
plan. basically to maybe try to get back
in the favor of of Donald Trump, he's
got to now spend more money to uh uh to
to pro prop up the Republican party. Uh
so I don't love hearing that. You know,
at the same time as obviously I don't
love hearing that people are walking
away from electric vehicles and I get it
like you know I think the first people
who bought electric vehicles, myself
included, uh were were kind of the easy
wins. You know, I bought first time I
bought an electric vehicle was back in
uh in 2017 all electric and I had a
hybrid before that. You know, the Prius.
Uh y'all have Okay, I shouldn't say it.
I shouldn't do the dad jokes, but
anyway, uh you know, the Tesla's right
now announcing that they want to move
battery production to Germany. I'm
literally getting this across the tape
right now, creating conditions at
Gigafactory Berlin Bradenbird to produce
up to 8 gawatts of battery cells per
year starting in 27. Uh uh this is the
end. To this end, we are investing
another threedigit
million amount in battery cell
production. That's a weird way to put
it. So many hundreds of millions of
dollars going to battery cell production
in Germany. Okay, that's fine. So like
you know what what like where do we
stand with politics being a negative now
for Tesla? Where do we stand with the
valuation of this company? And you know,
really, is it reasonable that people are
walking away from electric vehicles? I
mean, you've got the European Commission
pulling back on their 2035 targets to
phase out ICE vehicles. Now, we're
extending those, basically allowing
people to, you know, focus on hybrids
longer term. Ford is going into hybrids.
Remember, the last executive at Toyota,
Mr. Toyota,
got booted out of Toyota because he said
hybrids were the future. and everybody
laughed at him during the Tesla boom and
they're like, "Yeah, right, bro. You
guys are just pissed. You're so behind
at Toyota." Now, Toyota has a very
reliable car. It's a fantastic vehicle.
Like, if I had to buy a car, you know,
if if there was no FSD. If I had to buy
a car, I would buy a Toyota all day
long. Uh, you know, assuming I didn't
need like the practicality of like a
sprinter van or something, you know,
which which I also had to buy. Uh, but
then again, I got a lot of children. I
seven children. But anyway, like there
are maintenance issues that create some
problems at Teslas. You know, I wrapped
my Cybert truck. I love my Cybert truck.
I wrapped it and we take it into service
and they're like, "Oh, we need to take
these panels off because they're
recalled." And we're like, "Yo, what the
hell? We don't want these panels off
because if we take the panels off, then
we're going to have to go take these
back to LA to get them wrapped uh by uh
you know, by by the rap company just for
that stupid part." It's like just leave
it on and they're like, "Oh, well, it's
going to fall off. You know, it's a
recall piece." It's like this is a pain
in the ass. You know, those are the
somewhat the quality things that
unfortunately, you know, people do
lament about and and they are legitimate
issues that we're kind of concerned
about when it comes to uh Teslas. Now,
uh Toyota is going to have its own
problems, too, but maybe not as many.
like something that's been really
driving me nuts lately and eventually
I'll get it taken care of. But my Tesla,
the back trunk leaks when it rains. And
it turns out that when they installed I
I filmed this on my glasses, so the
footage isn't that great. I've got a
rack on the back, you know, like the
cyber rack or whatever. It's fully
wrapped. It took forever to install
this. The Pelican case on the top. See
that right there? That's a whole seal
section that's missing at the back of
the tunnel cover. So, when it rains, it
just rains right into there, which is
really annoying because I had a it was a
little bit of a mess, but I had a bunch
of junk back here uh in the trunk and uh
you know, I was I was looking at some of
the stuff that I had back here and I
just had some miscellaneous Lowe's bags
and stuff. All of them were soaked. I
think when I picked up this right here,
look at this. You could actually see uh
let's just kill volume there for a
moment. You can see if I just sort of
poke it, my finger goes right through it
because it's all wet, you know? So, I
have spent a lot of time kind of
customizing this to where I have a lot
of practical real estate things like my
ladder is tied up on the right over
there. I keep things in the back here
like spare face plates and smoke
detectors and things just so when I go
to rental properties I can easily drop
them off because I always need like one
extra face plate or a Sharpie or blue
tape or whatever, right? And it's really
annoying. So, I always like to keep it
back there. But, it all got soaked cuz
it got rained on. So, you know, there
are some service complaints and and like
I'm not really happy with our local
service center. And then I promise I'm
going to get in the valuation. You know,
we bring the car to the service center.
They're like, "You need to empty all the
trunk." So, we drive it back, round trip
for an hour, empty the truck, go back,
and then they're like, "You actually
need to remove the whole rack." And
we're like, "What's your freaking
problem? We just U-turned for an hour
for you to tell us that." Like, get your
act together. And so now, you know, it's
going to take eight man hours to
uninstall the whole rack just to fix
their dumbass problem. But whatever, it
is what it is, right? Those are just I
think the things where people get
nervous about being those next adopters
of new products because the Cybertruck's
obviously a newer car. Although I will
say when I got the Model X in 2017, it
also leaked and it was also missing a
water seal. So maybe shame on me, right?
Fool me once, shame on you. Fool me
twice, shame on me. I actually made a
video back in 2017 of my Tesla leaking
cuz they forgot the rain seal. It's
crazy. like full circle, right? But
anyway, all that aside, let's actually
talk about the fundamentals
of this. Somebody says, "Kevin, just
park it in the garage." Okay, I don't
have a driveway, okay? Like I I I don't
blow money on houses other than
investments. I spend more money on
rental properties. Well, House Act does
at this point, you know, that's not me.
Uh but uh we spend collectively more
money on rental properties than we do uh
uh certainly on ourselves or anything,
right? And that's how it should be.
We're big fans of investing and buying
the dip. We like fixed upers. We're
ending our fund raise for house hack at
the end of the month. But anyway, let's
actually get fundies here on Tesla. So
when we go into the fundamentals of
Tesla, at least we have fundamentals,
unlike this 21 Capital scam. I don't
even know why I still have this up.
Let's close this down cuz that's a real
scam. But let's focus about on Tesla
here. So, first what I'd like to do is
I'd like to analyze the margins going
back to their second uh to last earnings
report. And we're doing that because we
didn't get the $7,500 boost of
expirations, right? And there's some
really important takeaways when we look
at the fundamentals here. So, first,
we're eventually going to lose all of
these automotive regulatory tax credits.
We know that we have gross profits of
about 14% on vehicles less regulatory
credits. That's actually not bad. like
we are contributing to gross profit by
selling cars. I make the argument that
this company is a $500 million car
company. Uh sorry, $500 billion. I did
it again. $500 billion car company and a
$1 trillion startup. And you'll see why
in just a moment. But overall, your
pricing power was actually relatively
stable going into Q2 on a gross profit
level. And vehicle gross profit was
relatively stable. Uh, and that's
excluding the automotive regulatory
credits, which is great because then
when we went into Q3, we we also got a
nice pump because automotive sales were
able to skyrocket
because of that expiration of the $7,500
pump, right? Which is great. Gross
margin for autos actually increased
slightly uh into the third quarter from
the second quarter, which is fantastic.
It's still doing it over here. Uh and if
we look at January, and these are sort
of like some of the headwinds we have,
we have to know that we are going to go
into a period of time with fewer tax
credits, a potential $170 million crypto
hit. That's why we were searching for
crypto is because we have about $720
million of Bitcoin as of September 30th.
But Bitcoin was trading for about 140 or
$14,000 per coin then. Now we're sitting
at 87587ish.
That's a loss of about $170 million. So,
we're going to see a decline from fewer
credits, so likely lower sales, a crypto
hit, and likely lower cash flow. Now, I
don't actually think it's possible for
our gross profit to go negative. Some
people like the Mly Fool did an argument
about how I, you know, they said
something about sales going negative and
like gross profit whatever. I don't
think it's possible for gross profit to
go negative because frankly if you look
at the gross profit on vehicles we're
actually only contributing about $3
billion of gross profit uh or about $3
billion of that five is coming from car
sales which means even if car sales went
to zero they would still be gross
profitable. So there's really no chance
of them going negative on a gross profit
side. But yeah, dude, their net income
is going to get hit if their net income
uh falls uh you know by 500 mil.
Wouldn't be a surprise to me. You know,
if we get a decline of about 1/3 20% to
about 1/3 somewhere between -20 to - 33%
in car sales. The worst thing that's
really going to happen here is we're
going to see free cash flow go negative.
And free cash flow is important to look
at. So the last free cash flow report
was great because we had the expiring
tax credit. We had like $4 billion of
free cash flow. Phenomenal. That was
over a 9-month period. If you divide
that out, works out to about 1.3 per
quarter. Even if you said that was all
because of that one quarter, we really
have to cast that out as an anomaly
because of the expiring tax credits and
the rush to buy Teslas. So that's why I
have the 2Q report here, the second
quarter report here. And if we look at
free cash flow, uh, and you subtract out
the tax credits, you're really only
sitting at about $400 million of free
cash flow per quarter at Tesla. Now, out
of MAG 7s, it's kind of crap. But that
makes sense cuz they're a manufacturer.
They're building, you know, some people
call them the the world's vending
machine, right? So Google has free cash
flow in one quarter of 18 billion.
Nvidia 21.3 billion, Apple 24.7 billion.
Even if Tesla kept 4 billion, they would
still be the stepchild of free cash flow
in the MAX 7. So free cash flow lags
substantially at Tesla. This means we're
not really driving Tesla's valuation on
the basis of cash flow. And that should
be obvious at this point because if you
look at a PEG or price toearnings growth
ratio at this company, of course, we're
not valuing Tesla based on their old
numbers. And these are based on forward
earnings, by the way, for the end of the
year. And then looking at about a 42%
growth rate for Tesla on EPS over the
next four years, you're looking at a PEG
ratio for Tesla of 6.7
6 bullish moon. [laughter] Anyway, it's
really high on a price toearnings growth
basis. Now Nvidia's price to earnings
growth basis is 1.5 and Google's is 2.2.
And so if you actually look at this as
on like a price to earnings growth
basis, this suggests that Nvidia has 71%
upside. Google has 18.6% upside and
Tesla as a manufacturer actually has
75.4% 4% downside
and 60% downside if you value them as a
service provider rather than a
manufacturer. See the upsides here I
calculated at a peg of 267.
Manufacturers I calculate at 167. That's
where I get my math from. Right? These
are the we break this down every day in
the course member live streams uh in our
um alpha report. If you're not part of
that yet, make sure you join atmeke.com.
It's where I upload these financials as
well, so you can uh get the sort of
history of them. But, uh, obviously, you
know, Tesla's not going to be valued off
free cash flow. Tesla's not going to be
valued off their PEG ratio, and they're
certainly not going to be valued off of
their net income margin. Tesla has a net
income margin in the second quarter of
5.29%.
That actually worsened in the third
quarter. We got to a net income margin
of just 4.9%. That means only $5 out of
every $100 they make is actually going
to net income.
Unfortunately,
Nvidia as a comparison has 55 cents out
of every dollar coming to the bottom
line and Google has 29 cents coming to
the bottom line out of every dollar. Uh
Apple's somewhere in the high 20s.
Microsoft is in the 30s. You know, these
companies are bringing a whole lot more
on the mag 7 basis in Netflix is another
one. They bring a whole lot more to the
bottom line in terms of free cash flow
and EPS. So why the hell is Tesla at
all-time highs? Well, it's because this
is a trillion dollar startup. That's
what you have to understand. This is the
pump factory. I'm not saying it's bad.
We're just saying it is what it is.
Okay. So Tesla's pump factory. Let's
understand this. This is the pump
factory. So suggesting that Tesla
shareholders could get early access to
the IPO for SpaceX. I made a video, you
can check it out. It is uh just type
into YouTube meet Kevin SpaceX 10X or
whatever. Uh and you'll see the video.
Uh in it I talk about how my venture
capital company has invested in SpaceX.
You know, we're probably a three or 4x
on that investment. We've also invested
in Aptronic, which was a robotics
startup that was about to go bankrupt.
Uh and now they've like four to 5xed
also, which knock on wood is great. uh
and they're doing really really well
right now. But if you look at those,
those are both private startups.
Tesla is basically a public startup. You
don't have to know a banker at Morgan
Stanley to get access to these. You
don't have to uh fly on your plane to
visit Appronic and sit down with the CEO
of the company and basically go, you
know, if you guys don't get this money,
you guys are effed and how can we help
you, right? like that's what I did as
well as a venture capital person. I sat
down with the company's executives and
decided to make the investment, right?
Uh so like with Tesla, you don't have to
do that stuff. You don't have to hop on
a plane and do those things. You just
swipe up on Robin Hood and what do you
get? Well, you get potentially this idea
of early access to SpaceX. you get uh
this uh um you know no driver enthusiasm
for robo taxis and maybe the cyber cab,
you know, the spotting. I think it's a
little bit of a stock pump. Okay, we
know bad news is coming. Elon getting
back into politics, the valuation is at
all-time highs. The stock is at all-time
highs and the numbers aren't that great.
The free cash flows, the net income,
none of those things are that great. You
know what is nice is they do have cash.
I will give them credit for that. We've
got free cash of $18.7 billion. Don't be
confused or misled by people going,
"Kevin, you have 40 billion in cash, but
you got to take off the bills." Okay? If
you have $100 of bills and $120 on your
desk, you really only have $20 of free
cash, right? Tesla's got about two to
three years of free cash, even if they
started losing money on free cash flow.
So, I don't think that them going
negative free cash flow is that bad. I
do think the loss of the $7,500 tax
credit, the 0% APR financing they're
doing on the new Tesla at 399, which I
think is overpriced. It should be lower
than that. Uh I do think that the
Bitcoin loss that they're going to
suffer uh will will show up in EPS.
They're going to take that loss. Uh in
their margins are probably going to
compress on autos, right? Like all those
things are negative tailwinds, but
that's the $500 billion part of the
business. The trillion dollar part of
the business that people want is the
Optimus robot and the potential that
this could be a robo taxi company.
That's what people want. People don't
want to hear anymore about, you know,
how Whimo is winning because they have
LAR sensors and they cost way more. This
is old news. We already know about this.
Rivian tried to slam Tesla. Did you hear
the slam? I mean, let's let's look.
Rivian pump, by the way, at least
somewhat on this. I mean, the stock has
sucked, right? Tesla's at all-time
freaking highs. Rivian is basically at
all-time freaking lows. Not quite.
Alltime lows were $8 or $17, but they
were once at $180. I remember shorting
them over here. Uh, we talked about that
in our course last, too. But anyway,
they had this big pump because they have
this autonomy day and they're basically
full U-turning the pump. Now, what did
they say in the pump? Well, what they
said during their autonomy pump was
lidar, baby. Here it is. Oh, sorry. I
meant to expand this for Sorry. This is
like our whole reinvest course. This
isn't even all the videos. I did a whole
new course in the Me Kevin membership
for all the course members who were in
there. It's like 4 hours or whatever.
Um, but anyway, I I saved this clip from
Rivian. So, let's play this portion of
their um their autonomy day here. And uh
this is the part where they get applause
and the stock pumps a little bit, but
any Tesla investor is just going to roll
their eyes over this. But let's listen
to what they say and how they try to
slam Tesla indirectly, kind of directly.
>> The LAR,
[applause]
>> are your eyes rolling yet?
>> Told you your eyes would roll. The LAR
is an optical sensor, but its strength
comes from the fact that unlike the
camera, the LAR has an active light
source, enabling it to see it much
better in the dark. Another advantage of
the LAR is that it can provide a
three-dimensional view of the world,
unlike cameras, which we know provide a
two-dimensional view, requiring the AI
models to infer the depth, which they
do, but with a lot less accuracy.
>> Okay, so there's a point to this. The
point to this is Ross Gerber's problem
is could potentially have been solved by
LAR. You know, people bag on on Ross a
lot when it comes to Tesla, but I think
he actually makes valid points. The fact
that his windshield was dirty, in my
opinion, didn't really have anything to
do with the fact that the car, uh, which
has forward- facing cameras and side
cameras, has trouble seeing in certain
light environments. The lady's probably
right. The inferences that you have to
make with a camera are going to be less
accurate. We know this. Nobody really
cares who's investing at Tesla, though.
you know, nobody really cares about this
or the windshield dirty this that or
whatever, you know, and obviously we
could joke about we're going to the moon
or not the sun, but Rivian's probably
right. You could probably get better
accuracy with the lighter, but the
question is, do we need that better
accuracy? And that's that's the bears
versus the bull debate on Tesla. Tesla
bulls say we don't need it. We have
enough accuracy. The car can drive
itself without LAR. And then of course
you have uh the the uh flip side that
says why don't you just use Nvidia's
neural nets for autonomy. Well maybe
because Tesla has way more data but why
not just use Nvidia's neural nets which
can then you know put all of this
information together. And I will say I
can somewhat corroborate which I just um
caught up a few days ago. I don't know
if like better sensor data would have
fixed this but this was a little oopsy
dupsy that I had to take over on. I
mean, not the end of the world. Stuff
like this happens, but this is the kind
of stuff that really needs to stop
happening for us to go uh, you know,
fully autonomous comfortably. This is
version 14 on the Tesla Cybertruck from
uh, Sunday, December 14th. So, that
would be 2 days ago. So, um, this was
the forward- facing shot of my Cybert
truck.
And I'm on autopilot. And you'll see
right here this lane is going to come to
an end. So you can clearly very clearly
see uh the arrow right here and I have
to take over. So once we you know start
going to the left I end up taking over
uh cuz I'm like this is lame. But
anyway, I'm on autopilot to go you know
follow basically this blue car because I
don't want to drive into this
neighborhood. I want to go home. Uh, and
uh, the car kind of totally misses. Two
arrows, three arrows, and then it
decides to jump over into the right lane
over here, which is a right turn only
lane, even though the nav is set to go
straight, right? So, like, you know,
would other sensors help this? Is this
just more training? I don't know. It
never used to do stuff like this. So,
and I think that's one of the
frustrations that some of us see with
FSD is that we're kind of sometimes it
feels like going two steps forward, one
step back. And it's kind of like, all
right, when are we going to be done with
the one steps back? Like, this is kind
of getting exhausting. Like, I don't
want to go one step anymore back. I just
I just want to go forward.
But, you know, I think we're making
decent progress. And the more of this
progress we make, the closer we can get
to, well, frankly, having fully
self-driving cars. Are we there yet
outside of kind of like a rigged demo?
Probably not. You know, we probably
still have some work to do with that.
Uh, is there always going to be a
complaint amongst uh, you know, the
service uh, for Here, I'll show you my
Tesla uh, and and some of my my rigging
around it. Is there always going to be a
complaint about service? Honestly, yes.
You're going to have that kind of
complaint for any manufacturer, whether
it's a Lucid or Riven. Like, you're
always going to have manufacturer
issues. Uh it's just the question is
what what is the incidence of issues you
know the leaking car and the service
around that frustrating because look at
the car right so this is my cybert truck
I put a lot of energy and time uh into
this this rack is very frustrating
because it's so tight to the glass right
here that you worry about breaking the
glass. It's very hard to uninstall this
and reinstall this. The I got the uh uh
Starlink installed right here. It's
fully wrapped. They're telling me this
is the panel that needs to be removed
and it's going to destroy the wrap
because that's recalled. Uh the back of
the car leaks, the tunnel cover. I'm
like this is, you know, those are just
the frustrations of buying a, you know,
December 2024 Cybert truck. So, I asked
Gemini to solve the problem for me. This
is how Gemini solved the problem of my
leaking trunk.
>> [sighs]
>> So, I guess with that said, that's my
full breakdown of what's going on with
Tesla. The valuation is a big fat risk
factor. We know that uh we know that
Elon getting back into politics is a
risk factor. We know crypto is going to
be a negative EPS. Wall Street is
guiding for positive EPS uh next, you
know, this quarter. They're looking for
1.584
billion of net income on the adjusted
basis. Uh and so, you know, there's
there's just some, you know, something
to be desired on those numbers. I think
uh I think we might have a miss on those
earnings. Uh and it would be reasonable.
I think most long-term investors would
anticipate that. Uh I guess I would say
like if I wanted more exposure to Tesla,
I I would certainly wait for a dip to
buy more than sort of hop on the
bandwagon, especially with some of the
larger issues that we have in the space
of private credit or otherwise. Uh but u
with all that said, hey, you know, if
you want to invest in my real estate
startup and our uh AI release, go check
out househack.com or reinvest.co. It's
the same company. Our fundra is ending
at the end of the month. And uh we'd
love to have you. If you do click the
invest button, you could also buy the
lifetime access to our AI. Uh but if you
do click the invest button, uh remember
that you get uh a 5% yield through the
conversion of the stock paid out on a
monthly basis. You get all the upside in
the stock, real estate backed, invest
with credit card, a wire, no fees to
invest. I don't recommend obviously go
into debt and obviously read the
authoring circular. I'm personally very
excited about what we're doing with uh
with our artificial intelligence. Uh
it's made a huge gamecher to uh our our
Q4 income already and we expect uh
that'll continue as uh as we keep uh
releasing [music]
uh features for this app. Anyway, thanks
for watching.
>> Why not [music] 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 Pra there, financial analyst and
YouTuber. Meet Kevin. Always great to
get your [music] take.
