FULL TRANSCRIPT

0:00

well if there's anything to make you

0:01

want to diversify from Tesla stock and

0:04

invest in house hack it was Elon the

0:07

bear on this earnings call this was the

0:10

least controlled and most disastrous

0:13

earnings call I think I've ever heard

0:15

from Tesla maybe because Zach isn't

0:17

there to hold the reins in and actually

0:20

monitor how this earnings call should go

0:23

uh the amount of nonsense and

0:24

unnecessary commentary was fascinating

0:27

but also painful at one Point Elon Musk

0:30

almost breaking into tears about

0:32

complaining about how work from home

0:34

owners are like Marie and tet's let them

0:38

eat cake and he's sleeping on the floor

0:41

of the factory to make his company

0:43

succeed it's very weird how that belongs

0:46

in an earning SK but a lot of this I

0:48

think has to do with something that Elon

0:51

implied but didn't say so let's start

0:53

with the implication first and I'll tell

0:55

you what he said in a moment but

0:57

first I want to ask you when did this

1:01

quarter

1:02

end it ended the end of September okay

1:06

now what I want you to do is look at the

1:09

10year treasury and I want you to go to

1:13

September 30th well there's no 30th

1:16

because the month ended on 29th uh for

1:19

for like the business week the 10-year

1:21

treasury was

1:24

4.58% it is currently 44 basis points

1:28

higher I think there's a chance and this

1:32

is not good but I think there's a chance

1:35

interest rates going up another nearly

1:38

half a percent or almost the straw that

1:41

broke elon's back like this is it we how

1:45

many more times do we have to drop

1:47

prices L now rates go up even more this

1:50

is like Peak fear Elon if there's ever

1:55

Peak fear Elon now he complains that hey

1:58

maybe he's just excessively parano Anno

2:00

because of 08 but and 09 but if you look

2:03

at the 10year treasury chart he's had

2:06

Peak pain on interest rates in literally

2:08

the last 3 weeks leading up to this

2:11

earnings call and here we go you've got

2:14

Elon basically crying on the earnings

2:17

call but at least Lauren made me milk

2:20

and cookies come say hi no come on say

2:22

well at least say hi hi yeah she she

2:25

exists this is amazing oh that makes up

2:29

for a R day on test any day all right so

2:32

what we got

2:34

well obviously the house act that's

2:36

really good house act deadline on

2:37

November 1st so uh what do we have for

2:40

uh Tesla though so a lot of people

2:43

talking about how Elon seemed like he

2:44

was intentionally complaining here I

2:46

think it's just a Prelude to a really

2:47

bad kind of potentially a Q4 if rates

2:49

stay this High and the end of the year

2:51

is supposed to be the good delivery now

2:53

they did reaffirm deliveries at 1.8

2:55

million but they'll just cut prices even

2:57

more if they have to to make that happen

3:00

so uh Elon did uh you know talk up about

3:03

how hey we're at half a billion miles on

3:04

FSD wanted to lower the price of FSD to

3:08

make uh uh to make it more affordable

3:11

for people no people weren't

3:13

buying it people weren't buying it

3:14

people aren't buying it then then you

3:16

lower the price okay it's simple uh

3:18

talking about significant FSD progress

3:20

but uh unwinding some of his prior

3:23

optimism talking about how hey it was

3:25

easy to make gains in the past it was

3:27

great we were able to really crank gain

3:29

in the past on uh FSD but now it's

3:32

slowing down it's kind of that log curve

3:34

where we're like Yay big progress

3:36

progress progress prog oh now progress

3:38

is going really slow and that is true

3:41

you know they get to 95% 0 to 95% is

3:44

easier than getting from 95% to 100% so

3:48

I think that's creating some concern

3:50

Elon blatantly dodged how many cyber

3:53

trucks will be delivered this year I

3:55

think we'll be in like the tens or the

3:57

dozens of cyber trucks this year some

3:59

people people think it'll be hundreds I

4:00

think there's no way in hell the event

4:02

will be held on November 30th I'm

4:04

probably banned but whatever I I

4:06

probably shouldn't have tweeted a

4:07

picture of Elon as a bear uh I did do

4:10

that okay this just this is what he

4:13

sounded like he just sounded like a

4:14

crying bear so I wrote Breaking leaked

4:16

photo of Elon Musk on today's Tesla

4:18

earnings call don't worry everything is

4:20

fine right yeah

4:22

right super bearish today purposefully

4:25

dodged the question just didn't answer

4:27

the question about how many cyber trucks

4:29

they expect to be delivered this year

4:31

and I understand they probably don't

4:32

know because they probably don't know

4:34

that they're going to deliver more than

4:36

like 10 and they don't want to say that

4:37

in the earnest call CU they've already

4:39

said enough now a lot of optimism

4:41

obviously about artificial intelligence

4:43

about how eventually The Optimist can

4:45

build the Optimus 10,000 gpus in

4:47

production probably the fastest company

4:48

to ever ever do this this is still great

4:50

for artificial intelligence for NVIDIA I

4:52

think companies especially as rates come

4:54

down are going to keep flooding money

4:55

into Tesla I or into artificial

4:58

intelligence uh including Tesla I

5:00

actually didn't think the earnings were

5:01

that bad just to give you a high level

5:03

overview of the actual earnings report

5:07

and the spreadsheet in terms of a

5:08

summary really uh free cash flow of $848

5:11

million better than I expected reducing

5:14

the costs of the vehicle lot of talk

5:16

about slashing pennies I mean they got

5:18

down to talking about how the QR codes

5:20

are too expensive to put on cuz

5:22

sometimes they wrinkle up and then they

5:23

you can't you can't basically laser scan

5:26

them and it's like okay but the tangents

5:29

we went down were a little extreme but

5:31

they did provide color that hey look

5:32

they're trying to do everything to save

5:33

every penny right there is good to see

5:35

past this Elon is not wrong to say that

5:39

there is massive price elasticity in

5:41

cars that is correct and remember I've

5:44

said this for a very long time Tesla

5:46

only has pricing power to the extent

5:48

that it is a car I believe Tesla has the

5:51

most pricing power in cars but cars in

5:54

general are just a cyclical business

5:57

interest rates up as Elon said says

5:59

affordability down and he's not wrong

6:02

people it's harder for people to get

6:04

financing these interest rates going up

6:06

are a problem they just went up even

6:08

more Q4 is probably going to be wrecked

6:11

that's not great and Elon is so

6:14

concerned about the state of the economy

6:17

that they're like you know what we're

6:18

going to kind of like put on hold Giga

6:21

Mexico and we'll do some of the

6:22

long-term planning like you know the uh

6:25

the landscaping or this that or or like

6:28

not the Landscaping the the the Land

6:29

Development right uh but uh what do we

6:32

end up getting uh well we'll probably

6:35

just wait a little bit in fact we've got

6:37

plenty of room at Giga Texas yeah that's

6:40

how the earnings call went today don't

6:43

mind the new announcement in Texas in

6:46

Mexico we got plenty of room in

6:49

Texas I that should tell you a lot of

6:51

how this call went okay so yes we had

6:55

energy beats on uh uh revenues here for

6:59

energy but guess what CFO comes in the

7:01

new CFO and says hey you know that was

7:03

mostly Mega packs and that's going to be

7:05

lumpy so what does that tell you for n

7:07

phase oh no not more pain no I maybe in

7:12

terms of numbers but remember here's the

7:14

thing and I believe this I think the

7:17

stock market is going to say as soon as

7:19

we hit Peak rates that's an inflection

7:22

point and then Cuts that's an inflection

7:25

point in the stock market and the

7:26

question is did we botom last year

7:29

before all of this you know are we now

7:32

in sort of like a a lull and and do we

7:35

you know are we volatile until we

7:36

actually get into rates where we hit

7:38

some more lows entirely possible who

7:39

knows crystal ball nobody knows but so

7:42

far the economy's really been holding up

7:44

and you look at it it's like sure we've

7:45

had some banking crises but nothing the

7:47

FED couldn't print its way out of but

7:49

anyway we've talked about that plenty of

7:51

other times before so let's focus here

7:52

on Tesla Tesla spe specifically

7:55

suggesting that uh regarding the uh uh

7:58

tax credit some folks are actually you

7:59

know it it'll be a benefit if some

8:01

people can actually get the credit up

8:02

front and that'll help because people

8:04

are looking at their cash outlay how

8:06

much money am I taking out of my pocket

8:07

to actually get into a car supercharging

8:09

stations up 24% annualized uh slowing

8:12

down from 30% you also have a production

8:16

vehicle production annualized based on

8:18

September's figures sitting at about

8:21

56,000 but if we miss on Q4 deliveries

8:25

we'll have an even wider gap of

8:27

inventory after Q4 probably will sit

8:30

there uh until inventories actually well

8:32

until rates come down cyber truck

8:34

production Elon Musk thinks we can get

8:36

to about

8:37

250,000 units of cyber trucks produced

8:41

sometime in 2025 that would be somewhere

8:43

about 18 months to 30 months out 2 and a

8:47

halfish years out he thinks anything

8:49

slower than about 18 months out after

8:51

the delivery event would be uh

8:53

disappointing but uh it is possible they

8:56

do talk a lot about cost savings they're

8:59

really really worried about the cost

9:00

probably because costs are not coming

9:03

down anywhere near as fast as prices for

9:05

the cars are coming down that's

9:07

compressing margin that's not good

9:09

margin compression which again feels

9:12

like shrinking peee but relative to all

9:14

cars that's true that is true on all

9:17

cars the question is of all the cars

9:20

which still has the best pricing power

9:21

well of course Tesla uh the question

9:24

then is okay well when do you buy do you

9:27

do you just wait for a new low

9:29

which I don't think will happen or do

9:31

you buy and know you're going to be

9:34

sitting in it not sure when to time the

9:36

bottom until uh until we actually get

9:38

rates coming down that's that's the big

9:39

thing here so as far as some of the

9:42

other commentary we got uh talked about

9:44

the Optimus uh being you know having a

9:46

kill switch uh you know we've always

9:48

talked about this as well something

9:49

that's hard programmed in uh talk about

9:52

how uh FSD and the neural Nets that the

9:55

Optimus robots are being trained in is

9:57

basically baby AGI which for those CPAs

10:00

here that's not adjusted gross income

10:02

that stands for artificial general

10:05

intelligence that's basically what

10:06

they're teaching a lot of long run

10:08

bullishness from Elon on artificial

10:11

intelligence but boy the amount of

10:13

bearishness that we got out of him this

10:15

is like Peak Elon bear I you know what I

10:18

think honestly all right this is going

10:21

to sound mean but you ready for

10:26

this be like Kevin you're an for

10:28

saying that

10:31

yeah

10:33

cool ready for

10:37

it Elon needs to get his ass off of

10:40

Twitter and

10:43

Diablo I start

10:45

it he's turning into a bear cuz of

10:48

Twitter and Diablo just

10:51

saying I don't know uh think they could

10:55

have ran that earnings call a lot better

10:57

and I think Twitter is is making him

10:59

extremely bearish the fact that Elon is

11:02

sitting there basically quoting the bear

11:04

arguments oh you know credit card debts

11:06

at alltime highs well no it is did

11:08

you try inflation adjusting it no of

11:10

course

11:11

not oh National debts going up I know do

11:14

we need more bear arguments we already

11:15

know we're here at the Tesla earnings

11:17

call not a lesson in

11:20

macroeconomics it's interesting he's not

11:22

wrong things get a lot more expensive

11:25

when interest rates are higher but you

11:27

know I'm a big fan of just calling it

11:28

like it is and if I'm coming to the

11:30

Tesla earnings call you know you could

11:32

talk your macro stuff and your woke

11:33

stuff or anti-woke stuff wherever you

11:35

want but I don't think the Tesla

11:36

earnings calls the place as a if I were

11:39

a Tesla board member I'd be like what

11:40

the hell are you doing dude why are you

11:42

dodging the SEC and basically crying on

11:45

the earnings call like put some pants on

11:48

and run it as a professional call and I

11:50

know some people like Kevin you're the

11:51

one who makes peee jokes all the time

11:52

you what's wrong with that I like big

11:53

peeee okay I I really like big juicy

11:56

pricing power stocks I I like that okay

11:59

okay I don't think there's anything

11:59

wrong with that but I'm also not in a

12:02

professional earnings call with Wall

12:04

Street

12:05

analysts which a different setting it's

12:08

a YouTube channel if you don't like it

12:09

don't watch it but this is like a slap

12:12

in the face to the investors the way

12:14

these earnings calls are managed like

12:16

Zach at least had his together uh

12:19

anyway uh Elon talks about uh large

12:22

price elasticity again that's true for

12:24

all cars we'll give him some defense

12:25

here that is true for all cars obviously

12:28

compared himself to like a Rav 4 and

12:30

it's like why would anybody buy a RAV

12:31

four if you could buy a Tesla well maybe

12:33

because of your tweeting people will buy

12:35

the rav four which is exactly what

12:37

somebody who shall remain unnamed in my

12:39

family did they're like I will pay more

12:41

for a Rav 4 not to support that

12:44

guy sorry bro maybe if you had somebody

12:48

actually telling you the truth you'd

12:49

stop

12:51

up anyway then he's complaining about oh

12:54

my God I can't believe credit s went

12:56

away and the credit situation is getting

12:59

worse commercial real estate's doomed

13:02

and I think there are quite a few more

13:03

shoes to drop those were quotes from him

13:06

his words not mine and I get it I get it

13:09

it went through 2009 and it was an sh9t

13:12

storm I get it but bro this is we're

13:15

here for the Tesla earnings

13:17

call not the what you what you read on

13:20

Twitter theory of what's going on in

13:24

macro JP speaks tomorrow maybe uh maybe

13:27

he could wipe elon's body or or change

13:29

elon's diaper or something I don't

13:32

know talks about enormous challenges and

13:34

reaching volume really tempering

13:36

expectations for the cybertruck really

13:39

uh making sure that people realize the

13:41

cybertruck is a brand new system for

13:43

designing a car creating a whole new car

13:45

with an exoskeleton that's a lot harder

13:47

to manufacture probably not going to be

13:49

cash flow positive for about 18 months

13:51

he warns which in Elon time probably

13:53

means like two and a half years he does

13:56

think it'll be the best product ever and

13:58

I don't disagree like don't get me wrong

14:00

I can about Elon all day long and

14:02

I do uh but I love Tesla I love the

14:06

people at

14:07

Tesla as interest rates rotate down and

14:10

markets start recognizing that

14:11

treasuries have bottomed I think Tesla's

14:14

going to do exceptionally well I put my

14:17

money where my mouth is I'm invested in

14:19

Tesla and phas Nvidia I strongly believe

14:23

it that doesn't mean I can guarantee it

14:25

in fact I have a little laminated

14:26

disclaimer here keep in mind that even

14:29

though I'm a licensed financial adviser

14:30

licensed real estate broker uh and

14:32

becoming a licensed stock broker this

14:34

video is not personalized Financial or

14:36

real estate advice for you this video is

14:38

generalized perspective this video is

14:40

not and shall never be deemed reasonably

14:42

sufficient information for the purpose

14:43

of evaluating a security or investment

14:46

decision and if you want to invest in

14:48

house Haack you go to house hack.com cu

14:49

the deadline is November 1st by far when

14:52

we survey people there are two big

14:54

reasons they're like if anybody could do

14:55

it they're like I I want to bet on Kevin

14:57

for the real estate startup uh or the

14:59

second reason is they want to diversify

15:01

those are the two big reasons we're

15:02

getting for people uh for for house hack

15:05

those are just some things that we're

15:06

hearing in surveys you know no

15:07

guarantees obviously investing in

15:09

startups is risky read about it uh at

15:11

house.com and read the circular there

15:13

this is not a solicitation anyway talks

15:16

about tempering cyber Tru expectations

15:17

it's difficult to uh make cars like this

15:20

dodge the question on how many

15:21

deliveries uh they would have he

15:23

literally says we basically dug our own

15:25

grave on the Cyber truck and nobody digs

15:28

their own grave better than

15:30

themselves uh the Next Generation

15:33

vehicle will be a lot easier to produce

15:35

like the smaller twodo version of a

15:36

Tesla the model 2 because there won't be

15:39

large hot stamping new high voltage

15:41

architectures it'll be much simpler and

15:44

easier to ramp faster 4680 is working on

15:47

increasing it I really think the 10-year

15:49

treasury Spike just killed orders in

15:53

October like I think orders hit a wall

15:55

in October I'm not sure about that but

15:57

to me orders hit a freaking wall that's

16:00

what he's implying it's not good uh-uh

16:03

not good then he also walked back on the

16:05

50% kager Target even though in their

16:08

earnings presentation they literally

16:09

have written we're still targeting 50%

16:11

year-over-year growth elon's like well

16:14

you know law of large numbers uh that's

16:16

going to get harder well duh I mean I've

16:18

been targeting for about the last year

16:19

and a half like 30% growth for Tesla but

16:22

it still kind of is interesting to see

16:24

Elon walk that one back he does say

16:27

there is something to be gained from

16:28

advertising thank you Elon thank thank

16:30

you thank you very much uh he says that

16:32

uh the problem though is if you're

16:34

showing people things they can't afford

16:37

it doesn't help that much so once again

16:39

he's complaining about interest rates I

16:41

don't know if I fully agree with that

16:42

because I don't think people realize how

16:44

inexpensive the Tesla has gotten but

16:46

then again nobody's telling it like it

16:48

is to Elon and I know Elon you know he'd

16:51

probably be like whoa whoa what do you

16:53

know you got YouTuber or whatever it's

16:56

fine man whatever dude there are

17:00

millions of people who have no fracking

17:03

clue that the damn car can basically

17:05

drive itself 95% of the time they don't

17:07

know how safe it is they don't know how

17:09

good it is they don't know how what the

17:11

range is they don't know anything about

17:12

it there are millions of people like

17:14

that who are perfectly capable of

17:16

affording the Tesla I mean I don't know

17:18

where you're advertising Elon maybe

17:20

you're advertising in you know somewhere

17:23

where the demographics aren't that

17:25

ideal I don't know he needs a man

17:28

manager poor guy anyway uh too too too

17:32

stressful I don't know man Optimus okay

17:35

we talked about that significant cost

17:36

declines R&D will keep going up yeah R&D

17:39

blew up like 24% quarter over quarter

17:41

that's like doubling on an annualized
