Tesla's New Car Event | WHEN will TSLA Stock Skyrocket
FULL TRANSCRIPT
hey everyone me kevin here so a lot of
you have been asking me what my thoughts
are on
tesla and the tesla model s plaid event
that happened yesterday the first 25
deliveries of which
went out yesterday which is super
exciting for tesla it's
a move in the right direction to launch
a new car and especially one
as powerful as the model s plaid the
model s plat in case you haven't seen it
yet
take a look just at the website here the
model s plaid boasting of a 390 mile
range 1.99 second zero to 60
10 well 1020 horsepower and
this a new reformed interior where you
have a horizontal screen
all standardized parts so we could use
the same parts in the cyber truck the
new s's
x's and the threes and y's everything
gets the same interior
including this yolk steering wheel which
is half size so that way you have more
visibility of your screen
and your surroundings especially during
autopilot use which is very important
given that we expect these cars to be
used with autopilot a lot more
so a lot of you have been wondering am i
going to get the model s what do i think
about the model x and
why is it that tesla stock is not moving
so let's go ahead and answer all of
these
i do want to mention that tomorrow i
will be in san francisco that is june
12th
holding a campaign rally if you want to
come make sure to sign up
go to meetkevin.com there's a button for
you to sign up for the san francisco or
the los angeles one
click the button sign up for whichever
event it's totally free to come to and
i'd love to have you it's 4 p.m
each day all right folks so on the s
here will i be getting one
well let me tell you this first things
first you got to know that the model s
plaid has this uh
standardized mirror in it which the ys
and model threes have as well which does
include an interior cabin
camera which has begun
starting to enforce autopilot
usage and so here's what i mean by that
if you google cabin camera
autopilot tesla you'll see that
previously
the autopilot camera was actually off
and not used
and it was really just there to start
training the algorithm that
tesla uses so that their neural net
understands whether or not you are
actually paying attention
to the road but what we have here is a
usa today piece from may 28th that says
tesla activated their cabin cameras
for monitoring drivers during autopilot
use and
this here says the move qualifies as
something as a concession towards safety
watch hogs or watch dogs who have
criticized the company for not doing
enough to prevent drivers from misusing
its autopilot feature
this obviously comes after we've had
many instances where autopilot was
blamed for people climbing into the back
of the car while having autopilot on
and blatantly disregarding safety rules
which is unfortunate because it's really
an example of tesla
being forced to basically punish
everyone on behalf of safety watchdogs
for a few knuckleheads who are
totally misusing the device for example
this article talks about how in gm's
cadillac supercrew system the vehicle
will even come to a complete halt
if the driver does not respond now we
don't yet know how
teslas respond if you don't pay
attention
or your eyes aren't on the road but the
assumption is that they probably kick
you out on autopilot or stop the car
kind of like the car does now when you
don't jiggle the steering wheel enough
i have an older 2017 model x which i've
had for
three and a half years now and i've
watched autopilot evolve and get
really really good let me tell you this
system here which is the supercrew
system
it to me seems a little excessive and
annoying
for example there's this camera right
here in the steering wheel and when this
individual covers up the camera
the wheel starts flashing the green
which indicates hey you need to prove
that you're paying attention
and then it flashes red to essentially
warn that the car is going to stop
or discontinue the use of autopilot
personally i think this is
excessive uh that is because i've used
autopilot
so so much that i've come to find if
let's say you're on the carpool lane on
the left lane which is not a passing
lane when it's a carpool lane
and you've got your uh you know distance
set to seven
seconds behind the car in front of you
you've got plenty of room
and really what you're doing is you're
paying attention to your right and
you're sort of right front to make sure
that traffic in front of you isn't
slowing down and that traffic to your
side
isn't coming to cut you off really the
need
for you to stare at the road
consistently
is is a little less uh if anything it
could lead to
making you more drowsy and pay attention
less whereas if you're let's say in a
driver's seat and let's say this is the
road so you're the road here
and let's say i'm having a conversation
with a passenger next to me i can
occasionally look over at them
while still having my peripheral vision
paying attention to the road to see if
i'm getting cut off or traffic is
slowing down
as the car is driving you can do that
with your hand on the wheel so that way
you're ready
to re-engage if at any point you need to
this is very normal it's very natural
when a car is
on autopilot but to be on autopilot and
then to
essentially have your eyes force glued
to the road
is really doubly boring than just
straight
driving no some people actually just
like straight driving and that's fine
i'm not trying to say
that liking driving is a bad thing
that's fine well what i am trying to say
is if you're driving and you're actually
actively driving
then great like you're engaged you're
driving you're engaged everything
but if the car is on autopilot and now
you're just sitting there
staring the road like a really boring
silent movie in my opinion
it takes away from the purpose of having
autopilot
if if i can move my eyes freely and take
a look at different
aspects of the road or briefly look at
the person next to me
i should be able to do that on autopilot
while still being able to main control
and maintain control of my field of
vision and my peripheral and my reflexes
and ability to take control of the car
if i need to
now maybe i have too much trust in the
tesla autopilot system
it is not full self-driving yet we are
not at that level yet
but to me having my 2017 tesla model x
means i don't have this camera system so
for me
i'm not upgrading to the model s in fact
i'd rather just take my money and throw
it into tesla stock anyway
i'm gonna keep my old tesla model x i
don't know maybe i'll get tempted by the
cyber truck
but quite frankly i barely drive right
now it's mostly making youtube videos
fly to where i gotta go fly to
destinations to talk to people and
interview people
and then i'm sitting here again so my
driving is very little
maybe i'd feel differently about buying
it if i was driving a lot more so i'm
not going to be buying one
but i did want to get that out about my
thoughts about the camera
i think the the newer models
unfortunately this is just the direction
the industry is heading and it's one
that i think is a little excessive
now with that out of the way what do we
actually think about the event well look
the event was great we have
a new model that we have delivered and
this is absolutely wonderful we want to
see new deliveries of new vehicles
but when is the stock actually going to
move and this might be something you all
care about is when is the stock actually
going to move
well in my opinion here's what how this
is going to work so this is tesla's last
presentation and we can see that snx
production
came in at zero which makes sense we
came in at zero for q1
2021 which uh ignore this this 2020 here
this was an annotation i made the last
time i
filmed excuse me using this presentation
but anyway we have zero deliveries for
2021
of the s and x that's of course because
we've re-ramped
the production lines to accommodate the
new
tesla model s and the revamped model x
and so the issue with this is when in a
quarter previously we were delivering
16 000 units or even 6 000 before
with now delivering zero our average
cost per vehicle has plummeted
and that unfortunately hurts tesla's
profitability of course
and you would expect it to hurt tesla's
margin but what's been absolutely
incredible
is that tesla's actually maintained
their vehicular margin
despite not having the more expensive
s's and x and what's incredible is
despite having these lower margin
vehicles if you go to the section where
it says automotive gross margin
excluding regulatory credits
you'll actually see that margin in q1
2021 went up
at tesla despite not having
the more expensive models so think about
it like this
let's say you got a zero on your term
paper and
your grade point average went up that
would mean that all of a sudden
all of your other papers just got a
whole lot better
all of your other processes at tesla
just got a whole lot more efficient
and this makes sense because remember
we're standardizing
so much at tesla now that it would make
sense
margins go up as we have the most
standardized interior of a car that has
really ever existed
between four different models it's soon
to be five different models when the
cyber truck comes out
which is absolutely incredible now of
course we did have a margin decline
going into covid this is understandable
so we did we are kind of
more just like showing this recovery
back to where we had been so this could
have a little bit of a skew here
but the fact that we got a zero and
margin still went up is very very good
so
when do we start seeing price reaction
and price movement when it comes to this
new vehicle that has been released okay
so to answer this question we have to
understand what elon musk projected
so to conservatively understand that
let's do this elon musk says
that we should be able to deliver 700
units per week pretty darn
soon so for the next quarter since we're
only starting halfway in
let's go with 700 for six
weeks as part of well actually we only
have june left and they're just now
getting delivered so quite frankly you
only have three weeks left in the
quarter
so you're really only going to see
somewhere around if you're
lucky 2 000 of these model s units get
delivered in this quarter
that's going to help push our margins up
a little bit in q2
but where this is going to become much
more important is actually going to be
q3
see by q3 elon musk thinks we're going
to be able to deliver a thousand units
plus of these vehicles
which on a quarterly basis should lead
us to get to around 12.
uh sorry two yeah 12 000 to 15 000 units
per quarter and if you notice that's
going to be roughly in line with where
we before where we were before
now ideally this number actually starts
growing as well and we start getting to
somewhere around 20 000 deliveries per
quarter
because that would show a large appetite
for this new hyper fast car
and pretty incredible car now when that
occurs and we are able to start filling
in
12 000 over here 15 020 000
i expect vehicular margin to go up
substantially above what we've had
previously
because what we've had previously again
has been this vacillating margin here
for various different reasons covet
absolutely having an impact
the shutdown of the model s and x lines
hurting over here
so i would expect especially with this
increase in efficiency over here despite
those lines being down
i would expect that margin is going to
return not only to this 23.7 percent
but it's probably going to return to an
even larger number if we can get
to a new margin level of somewhere
around 25
by either q3 or q4 i think tesla is
easily an 800 to 900
stock again and i wouldn't be surprised
if in a year from now
we're sitting at fifteen hundred to two
thousand dollars because
then all of a sudden we're going to have
this massive period of tesla flood
behind us
we're going to know hey did the tesla
model s's the new ones did they fall
apart did they have quality control
issues that the new batteries if they're
using the new batteries burst into
flames
what what like how is the new car
how are tesla's latest engineering
standards
and so this is going to be a really big
test moment for tesla
and so as long as tesla survives this
test
and we start delivering these vehicles
in q3 and 4
i expect tesla's margin to go up
substantially and when wall street
realizes oh my gosh there's a brilliance
to having a standardized interior
across all of your four to five
different models wall street
i think is going to really reward tesla
so i'm very enthusiastic about tesla
certainly over the next 12 months i
think we've had one heck of a
an extended buying opportunity here
close to this
550 to 620 range
i think this is a steal quite frankly i
think under 700
is a bargain for this company it does
trade for about 20
trades for about 54 times 2025 estimated
earnings but i do think wall street's
estimations are low for tesla's earnings
so i am personally pricing this at
closer to 40 times 2025 earnings and
as a result i i really believe that
here's a company
uh that that has a lot of growth coming
for it
and we're really just at the beginning
of the s curve we're at the beginning
of the exponential curve of tesla's
production
people see the stock price and say oh
well tesla's already gone to the moon
yeah but their production is literally
right here like we're
just getting started this year we expect
to break one million units produced
we're probably going to get to 10
million produced within the next
eight nine years here so we'll see how
things develop but i'm super excited
about this course
and i see that exponential growth ahead
of us so there you have my opinion on
the tesla event my opinion on the model
