member live streams link down below now
we gotta talk about a Tesla we got to
talk about not only what Kathy Wood says
regarding Tesla or price Target on Tesla
but we got to talk about is she
interested in byd and why is she
interested in byd are they even remotely
interested in automation what kind of
cost curve reductions are we looking at
is it just batteries or is there
something else to pay attention to as
well and has Elon Musk liked any of
Kevin's tweets yesterday well I kind of
gave that away yes
follow me on Twitter to find out which
one actually uh no I'll just show it to
you on screen right here it's kind of
cool I like it woke up to it this
morning so Elon Musk collect your Tweet
government should never limit the
potential of anyone to equalize
privilege government should help those
who were dealt a worse hand example
given don't be like California
specifically Culver City removing honors
classes because not everyone is
represented instead invest in more
education for those following behind yes
yes great tweet oh wait I'm just
complimenting myself I'm sorry anyway
follow me on Twitter at realmeetkevin
and make sure to follow me on Instagram
where I'm posting a lot of stories of
our real estate travels including
yesterday we won't be making a video out
of that content because it was more of a
family day but you get to see some of
the houses we're looking at so check
that out as well as the flash sale on
the programs on building your wealth
link down below which is linked to Tesla
investor day which is coming up on a
March 1st my thesis by the way on Tesla
investor day if you haven't yet seen it
make sure to type into YouTube meet
Kevin Tesla is bankrupting the
competition Tesla investor Day preview
gives you some pretty cool insights
about the potential for what the model 2
might actually be and it might be a lot
more obvious than it seems so watch that
video but for now let's listen to Kathy
and respond her Flagship strategy which
which is ark-k Tesla is our largest
holding but if you look at ARK Q which
is our autonomous
um our autonomous technology and robotic
strategy we also own other names like
byd in China and etchpang and a little
Neo as well now uh why uh do we think uh
EVS are the place to be well
we are analyzing Battery Technology but
more important drive train
technology which includes batteries and
if you look at the cost curves
associated with drivetrains what you'll
see is that for every cumulative
doubling in the number of electric
vehicles uh sold produced and sold cost
declined by roughly 28 percent uh and it
seems as though
keep that in mind for a moment if let's
say
a drivetrain costs a thousand bucks once
you produce twice as many so let's say
Tesla goes from a million vehicles to 2
million vehicles or any Electric Vehicle
Manufacturer she's basically saying that
thousand bucks is now potentially only
going to cost uh let's say 28 Minus so
720 dollars great that's fantastic now
remember the battery day or the investor
day goal is to potentially show how the
next master plan 3 MP3 can reduce costs
all costs by 50 percent for cost of
goods sold of electric vehicles at Tesla
of course she's broadly talking about
just specifically EV Drive trains and
how those cost declines are so rapid
something that you're not seeing in ice
Vehicles those have already reached
essentially their their bottom in costs
like you're not making internal
combustion engines cheaper they've
already hit they're they're low so to
speak and if anything their their longer
term cost has started to Trend up
because of just the inflationary impetus
that we've been going through but
anyways Eddie the total cost of
ownership of an electric vehicle is
lower than that of a gas powered vehicle
which means uh which which helps us
understand why last year electric
vehicle sales globally were I believe it
was 62 or 64 percent while gas powered
vehicles were down about seven percent
globally so the electric vehicle shift
is underway consumers want electric
vehicles a total cost of ownership
cheaper so last year there were 7.7 a
million electric vehicles uh sold around
the world we think that number is going
to 60 million in the next five years now
the consensus estimated that it is that
it's going to only 20 million so there's
still a big gap between think about that
that's a 3X she's suggesting in where we
are and where the consensus view is that
60 million We Believe will account for
75 percent roughly of all vehicles sold
in five years so electric vehicles very
important now many people focused on
Asia say wait a minute byd is winning
here and if you look at last year's
sales byd sales if you look at hybrids
and Battery electric vehicles they were
up 211 percent to roughly 1.8 million
units whereas Tesla's vehicle sales were
only up 40 percent and so the question
from Asia is well isn't bydia byd ahead
of the game here
uh you might say yes based on those
statistics but if you take out High by
the way this is a uh a counter to
Charlie Munger right Charlie Munger is
like ah byd is going so great so this is
basically without saying it Kathy would
directly responding to Charlie Munger
now because of where I paused here she's
basically saying if you take out hybrids
here we go hybrid vehicles and we think
hybrid is is going away hybrid is two
systems in one much more complicated
much more costly uh and you look on that
basis byd's a pure battery electric
vehicle sales last year were 900 000
whereas Teslas were 1.4 million around
the world but electric is not the whole
story here in fact from our point of
view when it comes to Tesla uh
autonomous autonom their autonomous
strategy autonomous taxi platforms is
much more important than their electric
vehicle strategy in our view our fifteen
hundred dollar price target for Tesla
it's roughly it's a little over two
hundred dollars now but our fifteen
hundred dollar price Target in five
years is two-thirds because of
autonomous and when we listen to byd We
do not hear autonomous as a strategy
that by the way my opinion
huge Boon for which company
no no I know you're saying Tesla I know
you're saying Tesla it's okay
Nvidia seriously huge huge Boon for
NVIDIA there now I I don't want to come
across this like hyping in video right
now because the darn thing ran so much
after earnings because all they did was
talk about Ai and it's like
like I want to buy more Nvidia I don't
want you guys to pump it on this sad I
understand AI is important don't get me
wrong Kathy is going to talk about it as
well okay like yes but like most
companies have already been using Ai and
developing AI they've just not really
been talking about it since chat jpt and
now everybody's like don't worry we too
are working on our yeah yes yes I too am
working on AI with our company house
hack okay like it's not that big of a
deal
apparently everybody thinks it's a big
deal but no Nvidia why because when the
companies realize they're behind like
Mercedes who only fixes about I think
it's 17 of their recalls via over their
the air updates uh companies like
Mercedes what do they do well they
realize they're way behind on autonomy
so as you can see here in the Nvidia
earnings call and I'll just summarize it
here but basically what you see with oh
it's 17 uh what you see with Mercedes is
Mercedes going to companies like Nvidia
for their autonomous uh and automotive
technology whether it's the systems on
chips or or whatever uh the gpus for the
the neural Nets the the AI basically for
for your driving uh and observation uh
whatever I think Nvidia is actually a
big winner of Automotive companies
falling behind Tesla I think a lot of
people I mean look at it this way Toyota
Mr Toyota from Toyota is like oh no
hybrids are the way hybrids are the way
that's the future that guy gets fired
for reiterating that hybrids are the
future and he's part of the silent
majority it's fired now you get somebody
else who's coming in what's he saying
EVs
and it's true like the electric vehicles
are the future so so pure EV platforms
coming soon for for Toyota finally
finally they're getting with it but look
at that that's like five or six years
behind when they should have made that
realization they should have made that
realization back in 17 or 18. now you've
got companies that are like yeah we
Toyota is another one of them by the way
oh we don't need autonomy we just need
adaptive cruise control or whatever you
know like I drove a pretty much a brand
new Sprinter van yesterday Sprinter vans
by the way absolutely beautiful
fantastic cars I cannot wait until Tesla
makes a sprinter van and I know that
Elon Musk has a place in his heart for
the Sprinter van I think they're just
probably too large to Giga cast yet and
they got to Kind of Perfect the model
before they get to larger ones I don't
know that's my hope and that's the
excuse I'm giving I just hope by 2030 I
get a sprinter event from a Tesla and
that's because I want the autonomy I'm
driving in this thing and it sucks it
sucks I'm sitting there for like 90
minutes and I have to hold the steering
wheel okay I know that sounds terribly
first world but my point of that
argument is once you drive every day and
you technically don't drive because
you're on full self driving you're just
sort of supervising how do you go back
you don't but the Legacy companies are
so far behind they're like including byd
and not investing in autonomy like Kathy
Wood says they're going to be forced to
dive into
autonomy and they're not going to have
the time to develop it themselves so
what are they going to do they're going
to go to a company like Nvidia or you
know mobileye which which you know
Intel's spinning off so or whatever
wherever they can find it I'm not saying
Nvidia is the only player but I am
saying
if you kind of want to hedge to Tesla's
autonomy Nvidia is actually a very
interesting play anyways keep going
we hear it more with x-pang but again
they from a unit volume point of view
are far behind byd and Tesla so that's
how we're looking at the world right now
I think when you're talking about
electric vehicles you're not talking
just about drivetrain the drive train
strategies
um I think the companies that are going
to win as I mentioned before are not
focused only on electric they're focused
on autonomous which means they are
focused on three of our major Innovation
platforms first
robotics autonomous vehicles are robots
second energy storage they will be
electric because the total cost of
ownership now for vehicles is uh lower
for electric than gas powered and three
artificial intelligence so these are
three major black platforms artificial
intelligence will power these autonomous
electric vehicles and we believe that
Tesla from a thought leadership point of
view is leading the charge so to speak
in this uh in this movement towards
autonomous electric vehicles and just in
in terms of your fragmentation point
you know the the five thousand dollar
Vehicles if you look at the range and
performance of those Vehicles there's no
comparison to a Tesla Model 3. the range
is very limited the power is very
limited so you really do have to adjust
uh when you're talking about price for
range and performance which is what we
do and well most people do but there are
some people who are so convinced that
Elon Musk is an evil man that they don't
do that and it's so weird I feel so
terrible about it but there's someone in
my family who is such a person I still
love them I'll still have beer with them
whatever just say
it's crazy and uh I do believe that
Tesla has for a given price the best
range and performance of any car on the
market today
one of the things I could say David
sorry
um
that we're not just talking about uh
Battery Technology Drive trains when
we're talking about autonomous we're
talking as I mentioned before about
robots energy storage artificial
intelligence and we're talking about
software as a service so over-the-air
software updates I got my um I bought my
first model 3 in 2018 I have never taken
it in for service I have never been to
any station I don't have to go to a gas
station okay warning do not ride with
Kathy her tires are probably bald
kidding that's obviously different than
service but it's like
that that's important so think about
that how much in the way of costs uh and
convenience I have been saved over these
last five years the most important
variable uh we believe in this new AI
age is
um proprietary data and I I think uh if
we're looking for killer apps you know a
lot of people are trying to compare this
to the early days of the internet and we
didn't know during the early days of the
internet that it was the apps on top of
the internet that were going to Garner
all of the economics the social networks
of course and
um and today what we believe people are
missing is that the big winners are
going to be those companies that not
only have the right AI expertise but
also have the right domain expertise if
you thought if you talk about life
sciences and multi-omics DNA RNA
proteins methylation you've got to have
domain expertise and understand that but
even beyond that you have to have your
own data so we think uh that AI is going
to cause one of the most profound
productivity increases in the history
this by the way is very similar to what
Brett Whitten who's obviously also at
ARC uh mentioned in the interview with
me uh which I mean you again you should
watch that interview uh it's uh just
type into YouTube meet Kevin Arc invest
and you should see it Brett Whitton
phenomenal examples of that productivity
increase that AI could do in your life
where maybe that AI isn't separate on
like chat GPT but it's like built in to
your Excel spreadsheet or your email or
or your text messages or or whatever and
it makes your life so much easier I mean
I just want to give a like a simple
simple super easy example of something
that already exists today that makes my
life easier is like if I want to say
like uh if somebody's like oh where are
you on an iPhone I can just type I'm
here and then it shows up you press the
little button it's like current location
boom it already does that for me think
about that just like on steroids right
with with what uh where technology can
go in terms of understanding what we're
trying to do and then simplifying Our
Lives it's really incredible which we're
always remember if you also want to
simplify your life use the flash sale

entrepreneur more tax benefits LLCs
whatever check out the elite Hustlers
course these come with a lifetime access
to their live streams and would love to
have you there let's keep going of of
the world and so you have to as you're
looking at investing you you must look
at companies and how they're harnessing
AI to lower their cost structures that's
the first killer app and that other
companies that have proprietary data
like Tesla we'll go back to uh Tesla it
has more it has collected over the last
five to seven years the highest number
of real world
driving miles uh in the world in fact it
has probably collected more miles uh by
an order of magnitude than all of the
other Auto and tech companies around the
world and that's why we think it is in
the pole position to develop and win at
the autonomous taxi platform uh strategy
the first company to to get from point A
to point B most safely and quickly is
probably going to win so we're looking
at a lot of winner take most
opportunities in this new AI world and
the winner take most as I mentioned
before is based on bringing in the right
AI expertise the right domain expertise
for your own businesses and the highest
quality and biggest pools of data upon
which to train AI in our flat yeah
that's a really good point the training
of AI as well you need it's not just
having the machine or or some data it's
having a lot of data and that's probably
the hardest part of AI and that's where
she's suggesting Tesla's clearly a
leader and it's it's a I think a
fantastic response to Charlie Munger and
and makes me quite excited for seeing
what's coming up on investor day again
watch my video on investor day but just
to give you a little preview personally
I think it's very possible that the
model 2 or whatever that people think is
going to be announced investor day I
could be wrong but I wouldn't be
surprised if it's actually that 25 000
car is actually the model 3. in other
words here's how we can make the model 3
cost fifty percent less to produce and
sell it for twenty four thousand six
hundred ninety bucks whatever they
choose and actually have
an affordable car that's amazing in
other words not going down to a two-door
car or not going down to a limited range
car to get to 25k which is generally
what people expect with a two a model
two I've also been a believer that in
the future a smaller car like that would
come out I do think a car like that
makes probably sense for the Chinese
markets but I've adapted my vision and I
agree with Brett Whitten from arc when
he told me in person that the likelihood
of a smaller car like that being popular
in the United States is very low because
as Americans we buy a car for that that
edge case scenario not for our everyday
scenario so I thought that was uh really
incredible but anyway we'll see that'll
be fantastic very cool perspective here
from uh Kathy on uh on on Tesla and the
autonomy
