folks let's talk Tesla what's next well
first of all Tesla's actually only down
55% on a disastrous delivery Miss we are
down 13.9% from wall Street's
expectations Troy was off by 5.4% he's
usually off by 3% and basically he
wasn't negative enough we only delivered
89% of the cars we produced and Tesla's
pointing the finger at the Red Sea and
the Highland refresh though and the Giga
Berlin shut down because of the
terrorist attack uh well the envir
enironmental terrorism is what it's
called all of those items affect
production but keep in mind production
was actually positive year-over-year
we're at 433,000 Vehicles so we produced
enough we just didn't deliver enough now
some people are going to point the
finger at that and go ah well you know
they're stuck in transit okay well we're
also getting record high inventories on
both the model y uh and the model 3 so
we're not doing great in terms of Demand
right now now could that be transitory
well that's what we're going to analyze
uh in this video but uh keep in mind the
entire EV sector is facing some pain
right now it's not just Tesla right it's
Neo it's Lucid it's rivan although rivan
did beat on low estimates this morning
they did beat uh it's uh you know Xing
it's BD byd is down 44% quarter over
quarter so the entire EV sector is going
through a phase of adjustment of pain
during covid everybody wanted an
electric vehicle now less so and we are
starting in the market to have to come
to the reality that maybe not everybody
wants an electric vehicle Tesla's
long-term goals of getting to 10 to 20
million Vehicles produced and sold are
predicated on people wanting an electric
vehicle well if people don't want an
electric vehicle maybe they end up
buying a you know a GM or Ford which I
know most Tesla people are like e why e
but people will you know GM and I I'm
not a shill for Chevy Crews at all I
think it's you know mostly kind of lame
you know only works on highways and you
got to keep your eyes on the road or
whatever but it's interesting you are
seeing them purposely try to stab Tesla
how just saw an ad from them Chevy Cruz
while Towing you can't Tow and use FSD
on a Tesla so I again I'm not saying I'd
prefer their system over FSD FSD is
amazing compared to the trash of these
other companies and I want to be very
clear and biased on that okay I'm very
biased towards Tesla FSD it's very good
is it as perfect as people say on you
know Twitter with their video clips or
what no you know I maybe 100 miles in on
1233 and I'm I'm I'm still getting
moments where I'm like
really it shouldn't be doing this uh so
it's not there yet okay we already know
that we already know that I know a lot
of people are like oh when's Wall Street
in a price in FSD how about when it
actually starts producing revenues oh
well now they're giving free trials to
everyone great so you're definitely not
going to produce revenues for the next
60-ish days on FSD you're actually
hurting revenues right now which who
knows maybe that's the perfect by the
dip opportunity but the point is Wall
Street has to come to the reality that
this is the email from Martin right here
we have this posted over at ec.com I
want you not to just look at the uh
median and average delivery figures but
I want you to look at the median and
average delivery figures for 2028 by
2028 we're really only knocking on the
door of about 4 million
Vehicles that's low you know by 2028 we
were thinking that we'd be closer to
well markets a couple years ago we're
thinking oh yeah we'll be at 6 mil 7 mil
we're going to be at 10 mil by 2030 I
don't know I don't know if that's true
now why potentially could it be true as
the market price is in the fear that the
long-term trajectory of Tesla may not be
as good as as people originally thought
well one of the reasons could be uh
politic Co now I want to I want
everybody to pay attention to this this
is this is very
important when I show you this you're
going to want to make sure you got your
life insurance in as little as 5 minutes
you go to metkevin.com lifee you sign up
in as little as 5 minutes you get it
it's easy you got it you tell your
spouse you tell your father your son
your family I finally got it term life
it's great it's what Lauren and I use
it's great metkevin.com lifee uh you'll
see that link down below right next to
the link for Weeble which is where I
trade I do all my trading on here so
kevin.com Weeble if you want up to
$3,000 in free stocks both of these are
paid promotions of course but take a
look here this is what's very important
this is a poll by Gallup now I actually
really like Gallup I think they're uh
generally from what my experience has
been unbiased and I actually think their
data is very good uh so I think this is
a high quality Source this isn't like
CNN or Fox you know where we know
there's going to be the bias if I want
to go to CNN what do you think's at the
top of CNN right now CN CNN.com top of
CNN right now oh right next to Israel
unintentionally killed Aid workers is
Tesla sales plunge H now why would that
be why would CNN promote pain for Tesla
H let's hold that in the back of our
mind for just a moment what do we have
here Americans perceptions of electric
vehicles effect on climate change and
look at this one Americans owner ship of
electric vehicles by demographic group
you ready for this
Republican would not buy an electric
vehicle
71% 71% of Republicans would not buy an
electric
vehicle whereas 54% of Democrats would
consider 22% are seriously considering
and 6% currently owned whereas just 1 %
of Republicans currently own 1% are
seriously considering an electric
vehicle and 26% might consider twice as
many Democrats might consider an
electric vehicle as Democrat as
Republicans and would not consider
you've got about what is that about five
times about five times as many
Republicans would not consider an
electric
vehicle compared to a Democrat now this
is a really big deal this is a very very
big deal and and you'll also notice that
the older demographics would not
consider an electric vehicle somewhere
around 53% versus 25% for the 18 to 34
range uh so you're very clearly seeing
uh electric vehicle adoption is um
younger and more liberal okay now why
could that potentially be a problem why
might it be a problem that electric
vehicle adoption is more liberal well it
would only be a
problem
if you potentially were uh a liberal who
is uh Pro you know climate change and
and preserving the environment and uh
you want to see those priorities
furthered along you want to see more
liberal policies maybe those are
important to your business to your
family to your livelihood there's
nothing wrong with being a liberal now I
know 50% of the world's going to say
yeah there is okay that's because you're
on the right that's okay it's you you
can make up your own mind but the point
is let's let's think for a moment if if
you were a
Democrat and your business or your
livelihood was convinced that being a
Democrat is the right thing what would
you think if the CEO of Tesla said I
think we need a red wave or America is
toast in other words I think unless we
vote Republican America is going to crap
America will die unless we vote
Republican will there be at least one
Democratic Tesla buyer who says I cannot
support Elon Musk because of
that of course we could almost say it is
a mathematical certainty that on the
margin someone will not buy a Tesla
because of this kind of politization by
Elon Musk now some people like to say
but Kevin this is just Elon Musk going
off on Twitter nobody reads all of Elon
musk's tweets you're right and that's
actually the problem see part of the
problem is that people don't read all of
elon's tweets instead they read the
tweets that the mainstream media
promotes ah well what does the
mainstream media promote well the most
viral like MSN Elon Musk breaks with
Democrats Elon Musk thinks we need a red
wave or America is toast Newsmax MSN MSN
Breitbart Blaze media the hill whatever
Yahoo it goes on it goes on it goes
on elon's
most one-sided
tweets
actually become more Amplified because
of their presence in the mainstream
media which then makes people ironically
think that Elon is even more
extreme than he actually is on Twitter
like I don't actually think elon's that
extreme on
Twitter or X as we should call it but
the point is if people can cherry pick
out that I voted 100% demo until a few
years ago now I think we need a red wer
America's toast and that gets Amplified
which then contributes to the front page
of CNN saying Tesla sales plunge far
more than expected and we combine this
with the fact that Elon is essentially
look we could be free speech absolutists
here okay but we two things can be true
we can promote Free Speech but we could
also say that if Free Speech hurts Tesla
it hurts Tesla's Share Price Right both
of those things could be true you could
be a free speech absolutist while saying
a CEO that is partisan hurts Tesla sales
both of those things can be true but the
unfortunate reality is Elon is catering
to
71% of Republicans who would never
consider buying an electric vehicle
anyway that is a sad
reality if Elon purely cared about Tesla
which we know he I'm not saying he has
to okay he has the right to have his
opinions and his free speech whatever
but if he solely cared about
Tesla he would be as they say a quote
flaming liberal and uh pushing for every
single Environmental Policy you can and
you know what he'd probably be Joe
Biden's puppet Joe Biden would be like
please take more of my money because you
are promoting the liberal
agenda right I'm I'm not saying El
should do that I'm just saying if that's
solely what you cared about that's what
you would do but now we have to engage
in the reality that uh Elon doesn't
solely care about Tesla we know that in
fact if you scroll through his X feed
the vast majority is actually not Tesla
it's very rare that Elon actually
engages with Tesla commentary and
generally it's only on full self-driving
because I personally believe that Elon
is facing entrepreneurial
depression entrepreneurial depression
just like really many kinds of
depression is when you feel like things
are outside of your control and you get
anxiety because you want something to be
good but it's out of your control so you
blame the Red Sea you blame the houthis
you blame environmental terrorists you
blame uh you know China and competition
you blame interest rates you point the
finger but every time you point the
finger three fingers point back at
you unfortunately it's depressing and so
what do you do do you engage more in
depressing depressing aspects no as an
entrepreneur you focus on what's fun and
exciting ah SpaceX oh promoting
engagement on
x.com let's make X better let's make
SpaceX better let's make let's do all
all of the other things let's talk about
Disney's diversity uh uh you know
programs let's talk about how nonprofits
are rigged these are all things from the
latest things we hear from Elon let's
talk about the Border crisis everybody
should have the same mindset On the
Border crisis and the Iran the irony
here is everybody agrees that the border
is a disaster Democrats and Republicans
agree the border is a disaster oh great
we have consensus well no we don't
because Democrats and Republicans have
different opinions of how to solve
it uh so
we don't need to get political in this
okay uh I understand people who watch me
are Republican and people who watch me
are Democrat that's my point I try to be
in the
middle but the reality is Elon is
probably recoiling from Tesla and
spending even less time at Tesla because
he doesn't
realize that he himself is part of the
problem now don't get me wrong I'm not
here to say that Elon isn't wonderful
because he's uh given Tesla investors so
much the Tesla the stock has performed
so well he's done so great for the
company you know he he made electric
vehicles mainstream the problem is now
we are at a Do or Die moment and the
fear of the Do or Die gets priced in now
one of the reasons Tesla stock is not
actually down more today like 7 or 10%
on earnings that really didn't tell us
anything we've seen that before is
because we already pre-priced in a lot
of yeah there's probably going to be a
bad delivery number here now they were
way worse than we thought but we're only
down 5.4% on that it's actually not that
bad actually not that bad the problem
now is what happens going forward well
what happens going forward is the
potential for fear the potential for a
lack of guidance on April 23rd when we
get our next earnings called and we get
even less visibility or we get even more
pain or we get even more finger pointing
see now what I want you to think of is
Tesla has been advertising for the
entire quarter and Tesla deliveries
still came in this
bad so imagine if we didn't have
advertising would the numbers have been
350,000 instead of a you know uh 8 to
11% year-over-year decline we're
actually trending towards a 15% decline
without advertising maybe advertising
has actually been a catalyst or or I
should say a ballast for making this not
as bad it's still very
bad now so the question then is is this
the bottom well we won't actually know
what's the bottom until we actually get
back to growth maybe we'll get that
guidance on April 23rd but given the
lack of guidance in the last earnings
call I can't make a bet that we're going
to get that guidance and so what happens
well Wall Street starts pricing in then
maybe the EV fad is over now of course
people are going to argue oh but Kevin
eventually FSD you know will be what
people want to drive and people won't
want to drive a car without FSD this is
true but we are not at that eventually
yet we're still at slow off stop signs
we're still at slow on right uh right
turns we're still at weird behavior in
bike Lanes that's a bad place to have
weird Behavior okay we're still at
clipping curbs with our
tires we're still at doing stupid things
so of course it's supervised FSD we know
that but the point is are people going
to pay $122,000 for that oh of course
not mostly because even if people were
willing to pay $12,000 are they really
now going to pay $112,000 for a new car
or are you going to go look at the used
inventory see that's the other thing
that you have to consider is if you were
to buy a Tesla right now and you really
wanted full self-driving my
recommendation to you would actually be
to buy a used car so I would go into
shop available on tesla.com just you
know do it live and I would look for a
used vehicle that already has FSD
included so I want find that so let's
find we've got a here it is full
self-driving capability okay so here's a
model y 57,000 miles you know that's
it's a little up there it's not horrible
uh but it has full self-driving and so
what you can see here is with 57,000 mil
you're selling for $31,800 here's one
with 46,000 Mi selling for
328 uh this one actually has better
Wheels selling for $1,000 more doesn't
have FSD better Wheels lower mileage
th000 bucks more no FSD it just has
autopilot okay wait a minute so this is
the standard range this is the long
range okay
so that's a difference that would
explain why this is a little bit more
expensive right but the point is even if
these were the model match we're not
getting a lot of value here on FSD let's
try to find another one I want to try to
find a one that's similar to this let's
just comp this out let's go standard
range so we're going to go uh model year
let's go with the 21 model year let's
try to make these as similar as we can
let's go with the five seed version and
then we're going to do autopilot and the
FSD version and then let's go with the
19in wheels and then we're going to go
standard range and so we're going to go
with that's probably our rear wheel
drive and we're going to go white dang
there's a lot of inventory okay well we
I have five so what do we have we have
full self driving that one has full
self-driving all of the others are
autopilot okay so all of these five
listings are I believe within 200 miles
of
93004 so I've got five listings within
200 miles of me uh to choose from I have
all of them are rear wheel drive all of
them are 2021 models all of them are
white all of them have five- seat models
all of them have the 19in wheels they're
exactly the same vehicle the only thing
that is different is this one right here
has full self-driving capability now it
does have 57,000 miles so that is
another difference we're going to get it
does have more mileage give it that the
next closest one is
38,000 and it's actually selling for
Less so we have to kind of do a little
bit of an adjustment here right but the
point is is there a $112,000 difference
well let's say the difference between
20,000 extra miles is worth $3,000 you
know what let's be generous let's say
it's $5,000 so if we're going to adjust
this down we go 318 318 minus $5,000
right it should be a
$26,800 car
$26,800 car well now we're mileage
adjusted for 20,000 M miles I gave a
$5,000 discount all right so now we're
at 30,500
uh minus the what do we say that was the
268 so
268 3500 minus 268 $3,700 so that means
without that means FSD is selling for
about a
$3,700
premium mileage adjusted on exactly the
same vehicle so the market is pricing in
the value of FSD at
$3,700 Elon Musk is selling FSD for
$112,000 that puts us at a difference of
$8,300 You Are overpaying by full
self-driving by
$8,300 $8,300 right now is an
overpayment
of
69%
overpriced is what FSD is right now that
sucks right and
again
71% Republicans will not consider
consider an electric vehicle so we have
to put this data together and go well if
FSD realistically needs to be priced at
$4,000 which I've argued for for a very
long time that's about what the market
goinging rate is then people don't lose
money by buying FFC right now if you buy
FSD you are losing money you're
literally taking 12 and turning it into
four that
sucks 69% reduction um it's very
difficult for Wall Street to say yes yes
we need to price in FSD now don't get me
wrong will Tesla be a competitor in
robotics
sure but what are we selling any now no
are we selling Tesla semitruck barely
how many cyber trucks we selling we
don't
know the lack of clarity creates fear
the fear will put Tesla on the front
page of the mainstream news and
unfortunately you were going to get
write Downs After write Downs After
write Downs go to the front page of the
Wall Street Journal what do you got
Tesla delivery fall for the first time
since the co
lockdowns so what do we do going forward
when is it time to buy the
dip well what we need to do going
forward is in my opinion I want to be
very clear about this we need clear
guidance from Tesla we need a very clear
outline that says look here's our
long-term forecast yes we think we're
going to go through a bump in q1 and Q2
but then as interest rates start
trending down we think we're going to
see sales go
do we think based on our sales
conversions for the cybertruck we're
going to see sales do
this we're no longer at a 50% growth
rate for the next 5 years but you know
what we're at 25% just give us a number
that might put us at a 2.4 Peg or
whatever right now for Tesla talk which
would be a lot better to have that
Clarity than the lack of clarity we have
right now which is oh my gosh if Tesla's
shrinking year over year and we're going
through an earnings recession are we
potentially actually in a situation
where oh no
Tesla's Peg is way higher than we really
think it is so this hurts from a
valuation point of view the fear of the
unknown unfortunately hurts Tesla's
valuation more than if Tesla would just
come out with a very clear road map
here's what we think here are our
projections here are our Targets this is
what we're going towards a guidance B
full self-driving price decline C either
Elon stop tweeting political nonsense
although it's too late the cat's out of
the bag or make this very simple Elon
can still be an innovator he can still
be part of Tesla he get all his stock on
plan everything put a put a CEO in
charge who leads the company that is not
political I'm not here saying oh Elon
shouldn't be involved or whatever you
could absolutely still be involved
shouldn't be the face of Tesla you've
got to separate that and I don't know
that you could really ever accomplish
that I don't know that you could
separate Elon from the face of Tesla
that's very difficult I think the
easiest way to do it quite frankly is
with a spokesperson like Ryan Reynolds
just like the ad that we made I think
you need uh you know the joke ad that we
made which which is removed now but what
you need is a a a a high quality ideally
neutral person that everybody recognizes
who is a spokesperson for Tesla and
Raves about how great the Tesla is in
advertising Tesla's ads right now aren't
doing that Tesla ads right now are
promoting price they're not promoting
the emotion of a of of a spokesperson I
think that's what they're missing I
think they're cheaping out by not
picking somebody like this it could be
anyone heck have Taylor Swift promote
the freaking car everybody loves Taylor
Swift imagine that Taylor Swift here's
why I love my
Tesla and it's Taylor Swift talking
about how safe it is how when she has
kids at some day in the F at some point
in the future or she wants to protect
her cats or what whatever I know I want
the safest vehicle on the road to
protect my kittens right and Taylor
Swift looks over at at you know the
beautiful big eyed cats or whatever that
sells where's the marketing so the style
of ads and
marketing leaves something to be
desired it's unfortunate and I feel
depressed but the reality is uh we saw
this coming so now the question is
where's the bottom well that depends
sure people are going to see this is a
buy the dip opportunity the reality is
we just got a valuation squeeze and
unfortunately that squeeze is going to
keep getting squo until things turn
around and I don't know that we can
really bet on interest rate Cuts helping
Tesla even if we get one or two or even
three rate Cuts this year is it make a
big difference no now the trajectory
might make a difference right which is
good but I'm actually concerned that
we're way overpricing the odds of
getting a rate cut in June you know
markets are at like 50 88.2% right now
odds for June cut I don't think we're
getting one until September or maybe
even later maybe even after the election
it's just my opinion so I don't know
it's challenging I do think in the long
term Optimus Tesla EVS it's the future
but we have a lot of problems to get
through between now and
then and there's a good chance there
will be even better opportunities but so
with that said if you want my Buy sell
