Elon's Meltdown | The Death of Tesla Stock.
FULL TRANSCRIPT
well if there's anything to make you
want to diversify from Tesla stock and
invest in house hack it was Elon the
bear on this earnings call this was the
least controlled and most disastrous
earnings call I think I've ever heard
from Tesla maybe because Zach isn't
there to hold the reins in and actually
monitor how this earnings call should go
uh the amount of nonsense and
unnecessary commentary was fascinating
but also painful at one Point Elon Musk
almost breaking into tears about
complaining about how work from home
owners are like Marie and tet's let them
eat cake and he's sleeping on the floor
of the factory to make his company
succeed it's very weird how that belongs
in an earning SK but a lot of this I
think has to do with something that Elon
implied but didn't say so let's start
with the implication first and I'll tell
you what he said in a moment but
first I want to ask you when did this
quarter
end it ended the end of September okay
now what I want you to do is look at the
10year treasury and I want you to go to
September 30th well there's no 30th
because the month ended on 29th uh for
for like the business week the 10-year
treasury was
4.58% it is currently 44 basis points
higher I think there's a chance and this
is not good but I think there's a chance
interest rates going up another nearly
half a percent or almost the straw that
broke elon's back like this is it we how
many more times do we have to drop
prices L now rates go up even more this
is like Peak fear Elon if there's ever
Peak fear Elon now he complains that hey
maybe he's just excessively parano Anno
because of 08 but and 09 but if you look
at the 10year treasury chart he's had
Peak pain on interest rates in literally
the last 3 weeks leading up to this
earnings call and here we go you've got
Elon basically crying on the earnings
call but at least Lauren made me milk
and cookies come say hi no come on say
well at least say hi hi yeah she she
exists this is amazing oh that makes up
for a R day on test any day all right so
what we got
well obviously the house act that's
really good house act deadline on
November 1st so uh what do we have for
uh Tesla though so a lot of people
talking about how Elon seemed like he
was intentionally complaining here I
think it's just a Prelude to a really
bad kind of potentially a Q4 if rates
stay this High and the end of the year
is supposed to be the good delivery now
they did reaffirm deliveries at 1.8
million but they'll just cut prices even
more if they have to to make that happen
so uh Elon did uh you know talk up about
how hey we're at half a billion miles on
FSD wanted to lower the price of FSD to
make uh uh to make it more affordable
for people no people weren't
buying it people weren't buying it
people aren't buying it then then you
lower the price okay it's simple uh
talking about significant FSD progress
but uh unwinding some of his prior
optimism talking about how hey it was
easy to make gains in the past it was
great we were able to really crank gain
in the past on uh FSD but now it's
slowing down it's kind of that log curve
where we're like Yay big progress
progress progress prog oh now progress
is going really slow and that is true
you know they get to 95% 0 to 95% is
easier than getting from 95% to 100% so
I think that's creating some concern
Elon blatantly dodged how many cyber
trucks will be delivered this year I
think we'll be in like the tens or the
dozens of cyber trucks this year some
people people think it'll be hundreds I
think there's no way in hell the event
will be held on November 30th I'm
probably banned but whatever I I
probably shouldn't have tweeted a
picture of Elon as a bear uh I did do
that okay this just this is what he
sounded like he just sounded like a
crying bear so I wrote Breaking leaked
photo of Elon Musk on today's Tesla
earnings call don't worry everything is
fine right yeah
right super bearish today purposefully
dodged the question just didn't answer
the question about how many cyber trucks
they expect to be delivered this year
and I understand they probably don't
know because they probably don't know
that they're going to deliver more than
like 10 and they don't want to say that
in the earnest call CU they've already
said enough now a lot of optimism
obviously about artificial intelligence
about how eventually The Optimist can
build the Optimus 10,000 gpus in
production probably the fastest company
to ever ever do this this is still great
for artificial intelligence for NVIDIA I
think companies especially as rates come
down are going to keep flooding money
into Tesla I or into artificial
intelligence uh including Tesla I
actually didn't think the earnings were
that bad just to give you a high level
overview of the actual earnings report
and the spreadsheet in terms of a
summary really uh free cash flow of $848
million better than I expected reducing
the costs of the vehicle lot of talk
about slashing pennies I mean they got
down to talking about how the QR codes
are too expensive to put on cuz
sometimes they wrinkle up and then they
you can't you can't basically laser scan
them and it's like okay but the tangents
we went down were a little extreme but
they did provide color that hey look
they're trying to do everything to save
every penny right there is good to see
past this Elon is not wrong to say that
there is massive price elasticity in
cars that is correct and remember I've
said this for a very long time Tesla
only has pricing power to the extent
that it is a car I believe Tesla has the
most pricing power in cars but cars in
general are just a cyclical business
interest rates up as Elon said says
affordability down and he's not wrong
people it's harder for people to get
financing these interest rates going up
are a problem they just went up even
more Q4 is probably going to be wrecked
that's not great and Elon is so
concerned about the state of the economy
that they're like you know what we're
going to kind of like put on hold Giga
Mexico and we'll do some of the
long-term planning like you know the uh
the landscaping or this that or or like
not the Landscaping the the the Land
Development right uh but uh what do we
end up getting uh well we'll probably
just wait a little bit in fact we've got
plenty of room at Giga Texas yeah that's
how the earnings call went today don't
mind the new announcement in Texas in
Mexico we got plenty of room in
Texas I that should tell you a lot of
how this call went okay so yes we had
energy beats on uh uh revenues here for
energy but guess what CFO comes in the
new CFO and says hey you know that was
mostly Mega packs and that's going to be
lumpy so what does that tell you for n
phase oh no not more pain no I maybe in
terms of numbers but remember here's the
thing and I believe this I think the
stock market is going to say as soon as
we hit Peak rates that's an inflection
point and then Cuts that's an inflection
point in the stock market and the
question is did we botom last year
before all of this you know are we now
in sort of like a a lull and and do we
you know are we volatile until we
actually get into rates where we hit
some more lows entirely possible who
knows crystal ball nobody knows but so
far the economy's really been holding up
and you look at it it's like sure we've
had some banking crises but nothing the
FED couldn't print its way out of but
anyway we've talked about that plenty of
other times before so let's focus here
on Tesla Tesla spe specifically
suggesting that uh regarding the uh uh
tax credit some folks are actually you
know it it'll be a benefit if some
people can actually get the credit up
front and that'll help because people
are looking at their cash outlay how
much money am I taking out of my pocket
to actually get into a car supercharging
stations up 24% annualized uh slowing
down from 30% you also have a production
vehicle production annualized based on
September's figures sitting at about
56,000 but if we miss on Q4 deliveries
we'll have an even wider gap of
inventory after Q4 probably will sit
there uh until inventories actually well
until rates come down cyber truck
production Elon Musk thinks we can get
to about
250,000 units of cyber trucks produced
sometime in 2025 that would be somewhere
about 18 months to 30 months out 2 and a
halfish years out he thinks anything
slower than about 18 months out after
the delivery event would be uh
disappointing but uh it is possible they
do talk a lot about cost savings they're
really really worried about the cost
probably because costs are not coming
down anywhere near as fast as prices for
the cars are coming down that's
compressing margin that's not good
margin compression which again feels
like shrinking peee but relative to all
cars that's true that is true on all
cars the question is of all the cars
which still has the best pricing power
well of course Tesla uh the question
then is okay well when do you buy do you
do you just wait for a new low
which I don't think will happen or do
you buy and know you're going to be
sitting in it not sure when to time the
bottom until uh until we actually get
rates coming down that's that's the big
thing here so as far as some of the
other commentary we got uh talked about
the Optimus uh being you know having a
kill switch uh you know we've always
talked about this as well something
that's hard programmed in uh talk about
how uh FSD and the neural Nets that the
Optimus robots are being trained in is
basically baby AGI which for those CPAs
here that's not adjusted gross income
that stands for artificial general
intelligence that's basically what
they're teaching a lot of long run
bullishness from Elon on artificial
intelligence but boy the amount of
bearishness that we got out of him this
is like Peak Elon bear I you know what I
think honestly all right this is going
to sound mean but you ready for
this be like Kevin you're an for
saying that
yeah
cool ready for
it Elon needs to get his ass off of
Twitter and
Diablo I start
it he's turning into a bear cuz of
Twitter and Diablo just
saying I don't know uh think they could
have ran that earnings call a lot better
and I think Twitter is is making him
extremely bearish the fact that Elon is
sitting there basically quoting the bear
arguments oh you know credit card debts
at alltime highs well no it is did
you try inflation adjusting it no of
course
not oh National debts going up I know do
we need more bear arguments we already
know we're here at the Tesla earnings
call not a lesson in
macroeconomics it's interesting he's not
wrong things get a lot more expensive
when interest rates are higher but you
know I'm a big fan of just calling it
like it is and if I'm coming to the
Tesla earnings call you know you could
talk your macro stuff and your woke
stuff or anti-woke stuff wherever you
want but I don't think the Tesla
earnings calls the place as a if I were
a Tesla board member I'd be like what
the hell are you doing dude why are you
dodging the SEC and basically crying on
the earnings call like put some pants on
and run it as a professional call and I
know some people like Kevin you're the
one who makes peee jokes all the time
you what's wrong with that I like big
peeee okay I I really like big juicy
pricing power stocks I I like that okay
okay I don't think there's anything
wrong with that but I'm also not in a
professional earnings call with Wall
Street
analysts which a different setting it's
a YouTube channel if you don't like it
don't watch it but this is like a slap
in the face to the investors the way
these earnings calls are managed like
Zach at least had his together uh
anyway uh Elon talks about uh large
price elasticity again that's true for
all cars we'll give him some defense
here that is true for all cars obviously
compared himself to like a Rav 4 and
it's like why would anybody buy a RAV
four if you could buy a Tesla well maybe
because of your tweeting people will buy
the rav four which is exactly what
somebody who shall remain unnamed in my
family did they're like I will pay more
for a Rav 4 not to support that
guy sorry bro maybe if you had somebody
actually telling you the truth you'd
stop
up anyway then he's complaining about oh
my God I can't believe credit s went
away and the credit situation is getting
worse commercial real estate's doomed
and I think there are quite a few more
shoes to drop those were quotes from him
his words not mine and I get it I get it
it went through 2009 and it was an sh9t
storm I get it but bro this is we're
here for the Tesla earnings
call not the what you what you read on
Twitter theory of what's going on in
macro JP speaks tomorrow maybe uh maybe
he could wipe elon's body or or change
elon's diaper or something I don't
know talks about enormous challenges and
reaching volume really tempering
expectations for the cybertruck really
uh making sure that people realize the
cybertruck is a brand new system for
designing a car creating a whole new car
with an exoskeleton that's a lot harder
to manufacture probably not going to be
cash flow positive for about 18 months
he warns which in Elon time probably
means like two and a half years he does
think it'll be the best product ever and
I don't disagree like don't get me wrong
I can about Elon all day long and
I do uh but I love Tesla I love the
people at
Tesla as interest rates rotate down and
markets start recognizing that
treasuries have bottomed I think Tesla's
going to do exceptionally well I put my
money where my mouth is I'm invested in
Tesla and phas Nvidia I strongly believe
it that doesn't mean I can guarantee it
in fact I have a little laminated
disclaimer here keep in mind that even
though I'm a licensed financial adviser
licensed real estate broker uh and
becoming a licensed stock broker this
video is not personalized Financial or
real estate advice for you this video is
generalized perspective this video is
not and shall never be deemed reasonably
sufficient information for the purpose
of evaluating a security or investment
decision and if you want to invest in
house Haack you go to house hack.com cu
the deadline is November 1st by far when
we survey people there are two big
reasons they're like if anybody could do
it they're like I I want to bet on Kevin
for the real estate startup uh or the
second reason is they want to diversify
those are the two big reasons we're
getting for people uh for for house hack
those are just some things that we're
hearing in surveys you know no
guarantees obviously investing in
startups is risky read about it uh at
house.com and read the circular there
this is not a solicitation anyway talks
about tempering cyber Tru expectations
it's difficult to uh make cars like this
dodge the question on how many
deliveries uh they would have he
literally says we basically dug our own
grave on the Cyber truck and nobody digs
their own grave better than
themselves uh the Next Generation
vehicle will be a lot easier to produce
like the smaller twodo version of a
Tesla the model 2 because there won't be
large hot stamping new high voltage
architectures it'll be much simpler and
easier to ramp faster 4680 is working on
increasing it I really think the 10-year
treasury Spike just killed orders in
October like I think orders hit a wall
in October I'm not sure about that but
to me orders hit a freaking wall that's
what he's implying it's not good uh-uh
not good then he also walked back on the
50% kager Target even though in their
earnings presentation they literally
have written we're still targeting 50%
year-over-year growth elon's like well
you know law of large numbers uh that's
going to get harder well duh I mean I've
been targeting for about the last year
and a half like 30% growth for Tesla but
it still kind of is interesting to see
Elon walk that one back he does say
there is something to be gained from
advertising thank you Elon thank thank
you thank you very much uh he says that
uh the problem though is if you're
showing people things they can't afford
it doesn't help that much so once again
he's complaining about interest rates I
don't know if I fully agree with that
because I don't think people realize how
inexpensive the Tesla has gotten but
then again nobody's telling it like it
is to Elon and I know Elon you know he'd
probably be like whoa whoa what do you
know you got YouTuber or whatever it's
fine man whatever dude there are
millions of people who have no fracking
clue that the damn car can basically
drive itself 95% of the time they don't
know how safe it is they don't know how
good it is they don't know how what the
range is they don't know anything about
it there are millions of people like
that who are perfectly capable of
affording the Tesla I mean I don't know
where you're advertising Elon maybe
you're advertising in you know somewhere
where the demographics aren't that
ideal I don't know he needs a man
manager poor guy anyway uh too too too
stressful I don't know man Optimus okay
we talked about that significant cost
declines R&D will keep going up yeah R&D
blew up like 24% quarter over quarter
that's like doubling on an annualized
rate lot of neg negativity from this
earnings call uh Tesla currently trading
at about a 2.5 PEG ratio with 28% growth
projected by the street I'm at about
30% lot of negativity uh all I can say
is I hope hope jpow is
watching and uh I don't know but um I'm
going to keep eating this cookie now and
uh we'll keep the dragon dagger poison
tip away from Elon because I don't know
he's not he's not stable right now poor
guy I really feel bad for
him but he probably hates me and that's
okay like I'm just I'm just going to
give my opinion I'm I'm tired of people
like actually affecting my mood like I
used to care people would be like I
can't believe you said this now people
say that I go oh maybe they have a point
you know okay maybe they have a point
but most of the time it's like yeah I
don't care it's like I'll I'll read the
comments as I'm curious about the
perspective but somebody's like I
disagree with you you're a douchebag
it's like
okay but at least the perspective is out
there cuz if you just say what everybody
loves what's the point of watching you
know you got to have some realism got to
have the balls to say what you think be
a little I 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 P there financial analyst and
YouTuber meet Kevin always wait to get
your
take
