Tesla's Complete Disaster | Why $TSLA Stock CRASHED.
FULL TRANSCRIPT
oh man have the fundamentals of Tesla
changed after all Tesla down over 8.6
percent while the NASDAQ 100 up 2.27
leading a lot of folks especially retail
traders who were a big support for Tesla
stock like physically they underlie a
lot of the volume for Tesla stock
helping prop up Tesla prices and until
recently helping Tesla actually
outperform the NASDAQ 100 index year to
date well folks that has all shifted and
there are three major reasons why this
has occurred now none of my three
reasons are likely things in my opinion
at least that you've heard of before at
least not with my perspective see by now
you already know that a Tesla deliveries
missed consensus Expectations by about
five percent but that's not actually my
first reason in terms of why Tesla fell
it has to do with something different an
expectation that I think the market has
for Tesla that could be entirely wrong
let's see if that's true because if it
is it could create an opportunity for
Tesla and towards the end I'll talk
about was this a by the dip opportunity
or is this time to just sell forget the
fomo that is Tesla and move on well
first in order to understand issue
number one that I believe the market is
seeing we have to understand that
there's a ratio that Tesla has known as
delivereds to produced it's very simple
just go to Q3 2021 for example divide
240 000 delivered units divided by how
many units were produced that means you
delivered 240 000 Vehicles which is
actually more than you made of 238 000
units and you have a delivered to
produced ratio of 100.8 percent when the
number's over 100 it means you're
actually delivering more Vehicles than
you've produced in Q4 2021 that ratio
was 101 again you delivered more
Vehicles than you produced it actually
shows that uh manufacturing is behind
how many vehicles you're selling in q1
2022 we read
101.5 notice how in those three quarters
the numbers actually going up we are
delivering more Vehicles than we're
producing and production is actually
falling behind the deliveries that
signals at least to the markets not just
supply chain constraints but it also
signals potentially and well certainly a
lot of excess Demand right and this is
where it gets interesting watch this
when we go to Q2 we notice that we
produced 258
000 units which was obviously low
because of the Shanghai shutdowns but we
still produced more Vehicles 200 well
more we produce more Vehicles than we
delivered and that was actually a
reversal see in the quarter of the
Shanghai shutdowns we produced 258
000 Vehicles 500 plus 580 and we
delivered 254 695 that means we actually
produced more Vehicles than we delivered
in a month or in a quarter where
Shanghai was almost completely shut down
that's interesting now when we do the
ratio instead of being over a hundred
percent we're actually at 98.5
delivered to produced
now go to Q3 the numbers that just came
out we produced way more Vehicles than
we delivered we produced 365 923
vehicles and delivered only 343 like the
studio that makes Halo 343 830
000 vehicles
now what's interesting about that is
well 343 830 let me clarify my numbers
there sitting at the airport sometimes
the numbers just jarble together but
anyway what's interesting about that is
not only does the production represent a
53 growth weight rate in Q3 2022 to Q3
2021.
but it shows a substantial mismatch
between the number of vehicles that were
actually able to deliver and produce in
fact we only delivered 94 of what we
produced
this is a complete reversal from what
has consistently been a problem at Tesla
and the problem a Tesla has always been
that we're not able to produce enough
Vehicles compared to what we can deliver
now however markets just by looking at
this data I believe are concerned that
the excess demand for Tesla is over that
the delivery backlog is not just falling
that it's gone that now
Tesla is no longer a product that we
actually think can sell millions of
units per year sure maybe we can get to
a 1.5 million annual run rate of
vehicles but it's certainly not going to
be three four five six 10 million
vehicles and it's time to dump Tesla
stock
see the greatest fear for Wall Street
when it comes to Tesla is that not that
Tesla will produce the vehicles but that
nobody's going to be around to buy them
that's the concern especially in what's
likely a global recession
and these numbers this ratio
flip-flopping from last year being over
a hundred to now just 94 of of produced
Vehicles being delivered is a potential
red flag to markets now Tesla argues
that this is because of what they call a
logistic Nightmare and In fairness
they've produced more Vehicles than they
ever have before they produced again at
a 53 growth rate so maybe that makes
sense think about it you want to call up
a a company to deliver your Tesla from
manufacturing facility to distribution
facility and you're like hey I got
another 10 Teslas and they're like dude
we're already doing like 50 more Teslas
than you had for us last year at this
time we don't have as many trucks if you
want to pay us like double time to drive
your cars around sure we'll deliver all
of them but we're going to increase your
costs twofold for deliveries and Tesla
might look at that and go oh that
actually will cause even larger issues
to our numbers because that'll compress
our margin if we have to pay another say
thousand or fifteen hundred bucks just
to deliver these vehicles in this
quarter
or we just wait a week and still get the
same profit we would have otherwise it
just means we have a more disappointing
Q3 then we protect our margins so this
is actually a case in my opinion of
Tesla actually doing what is actually
good for shareholders which is reducing
cost and preserving margin
while at the same time unfortunately
disappointing Wall Street see even Elon
Musk went to Twitter yesterday and said
his job is not to pump the stock so that
leads to Temporary pain and a lot of
temporary selling at a time when there's
not a lot of extra cash and liquidity
around to be buying the dip in fact
retail buy orders have been trending
down over the last two months we used to
buy the dip at a rate of 1.1 to 1.3
billion dollars per day in in the market
in terms of retail Traders and and now
we're under a billion dollars a day in
buying the dip it's because the money's
running out and so we got less money to
to prop up Tesla stock so to speak but
this now is an argument that Wall Street
and Tesla are going to have and it's one
that only time will prove and it will
demand patience if you're a Tesla bull
you're going to say look there's plenty
of demand for Teslas we know that like
Tesla's doing the right thing here
they're preserving their margins
especially at a time they're probably
going to get whacked by currency
exchange uh fees I think that in Q3
we're going to probably see somewhere
around a billion dollar write down in
losses simply for currency exchanges
which is which is terrible but well
that's really problem number two we'll
get to that in just a moment uh and so
Tesla's decided you know what the last
thing we need is is more of an impact to
our margin because that's going to lead
to even more doubt for the company being
able to go forward and actually produce
vehicles at scale that'll actually
create more damage in the long term than
just shifting some of these deliveries
from a Q3 to Q4 basically
so regarding problem number one here's
my belief
according to at least what we can see on
Twitter and in financial news whether
it's Bloomberg or or you know Wall
Street expectations we believe that
Tesla still has an order backlog around
the world of somewhere around 300 000
Vehicles so we don't have a lack of
demand issue
and this is obviously evidenced or
hopefully evidenced by the fact that we
still have lead times for vehicles that
Rise Above and Beyond uh just supply
chain constraints or battery constraints
so I actually don't believe we have a
demand issue if Tesla actually has a
demand issue then it should rightfully
be down eight and a half percent in fact
it probably should be down more because
if Tesla's demand evaporates the stock
is screwed you do not want to be
anywhere near the stock
and remember the last time I confidently
said something like that was when a firm
was like 65 and I'm like you don't hold
this stock going into a recession
only some people listen to me but
whatever
um so problem number two is the currency
issue I don't want to just gloss over
that I want to make that very clear look
right now only 55 of Teslas are actually
sold within the United States based on
the Q2 report
we need that number to go up because you
do not have a U.S a strong U.S dollar
issue if more vehicles are sold in the
United States in fact it actually helps
you the strong dollar helps us if more
of the vehicles are sold in the United
States however if more vehicles are sold
in Europe or in Great Britain with a
weak pound or a weak Euro or or in China
with with a week you on uh even though
the Chinese are pulling back you know we
know that but even in other areas of
Asia their currencies are weakening
compared to the dollar then we end up
having to take an impairment for
currency a foreign exchange impairments
uh basically you know you sell a vehicle
for you know what should be forty five
thousand dollars in uh Chinese yen let's
say but by the time you convert it to
Dollars you're only left with 40 000
because the currency moved that much in
a quarter right that can happen that has
happened just look at Great Britain it's
a disaster look at the Euro it's a
disaster
so I think that's going to lead to a big
one billion dollar write down uh that's
gonna be temporary though we can work
that out of margin and see that
manufacturing is still scaling margin we
can make projections based on that which
I expect to be quite bullish
the third problem is AI day okay AI day
was was for the stock a disaster the
robot looked like an idiot
it was very hated on Twitter it was
compared to a robot that took millions
of dollars to develop from uh Honda uh
that that took 20 years to develop it
was compared to Boston Dynamics who
spent two decades uh manufacturing a
robot not at scale not with a brain but
a programmed robot
and what we got was a robot that looked
like it couldn't walk the new version
couldn't walk the new version looked
like it shot itself and quite frankly it
was a disaster now I covered all of my
thoughts on AI day in my Aid video
because what I actually saw was not a
disaster I saw a six-month prototype
with a brain and one that could be
produced at scale one that actually
makes me incredibly bullish and I don't
even have the Tesla bot in my valuation
that's just extra cream pie baby
or extra icing on the cake I I don't
know one of those anyway
the other thing is I was in full self
driving this weekend and finally I could
say this thing's actually driving a
little bit more like a human it doesn't
sit for 10 minutes at a red light on a
right turn lane waiting to turn right it
actually goes it moves it doesn't stop
at a stop sign when nobody's around I
mean it still stops at the stop sign but
what I mean like waiting forever it
actually like goes like a human in some
cases and it shouldn't do this but in
some cases it actually rolls the stop
sign which I actually think is quite
hilarious because it is driving like a
human and it's doing it in in a in a way
that a human would but it's actually
doing really well so I'm I personally
breaking apart these issues here
going backwards FSD massively bullish
more bullish than I've ever been and I
still don't have it myself I had to get
in somebody else's car thank you to the
person who let me drive with it or in it
AI Day Disaster for the stock phenomenal
for AI by the way did you notice their
labeling was just like the labeling that
we do for the house hack AI I got a lot
of hate for the househack AI for the
vision AI that we use for determining
wedge Deals they had the same radial
buttons that same old look it was great
it was such an honor I'm like damn
Tesla's labeling Vision just like
Kevin's labeling Vision I mean then they
also do Vision Video labeling which is
much more impressive I mean but that you
don't need to video label real estate
it's pretty static
um again going backwards the currency
issue will be a temporary hit that will
hurt us temporarily that'll hurt EPS
temporarily which means Tesla will look
more Rich valuation will rise
temporarily uh and honestly the the
delivery issues I I side with Tesla on
this I don't want them to spend more
money squeezing these into the last
minute uh you know delivery process save
the money on the deliveries take a
little longer to deliver them take your
time but I'm actually really impressed
by the production because I know the
demand is there the demand is there so
I'm not worried about the deliveries
even though that ratio is flipped that's
a Wall Street problem
but a 53 growth rate on production
holy so what did I do I bought the
dip all right I bought the dip I got
somewhere around 27k shares pre-split
still haven't divided it I don't know
what would that be let's just do it in
my head right now
that would be 81 000
25 times 3 is 75 3 times 2 is 6. yeah
like 81 000 shares-ish something like
that I don't know I need to actually
update it and do the math but anyway I
bought the dip today
and if we look at the valuation now it's
actually improved
so last time we did my spreadsheet if
you held Tesla for five years I believed
that we would get to a Target into the
500s it was like 580 or something like
that you'd have a compounded annual
return of like 19 well now because of
the sell-off if you held Tesla today for
five years in my opinion the compounded
annual return for Tesla would be closer
to 23 because you're getting it at a
lower price
my thoughts if you haven't heard this
stuff before let me know in the comments
down below I actually want to make sure
I continue to provide value that's
unique and I just I I don't want to just
rehash the garbage that other people say
or or tell you to go buy index funds or
you know something boring anyway thank
you bye
