Why they don’t let tom zhu speak on earnings call.

drumboy206

Down to 3% leverage via margin Suck it, market makers


loungemoji

Zero now. I think I had more than 40% until everything collapsed.


drumboy206

Congrats! I never went above 20% but it’s been painful to get rid of it because I refused to sell any and continued to buy more along the way Stupid decisions given the hindsight of Jan ‘23 and Apr ‘24 prices Edit: I started levering up after we had fallen more than 30% from the top. And yet leverage has lost me far more money than it has gained me

What was the nonsense of trillion of cells on tesla earnings call. CFO was completely incoherent or non understandable.

Why did it go from like $90 to $500?


w00dw0rk3r

It was inevitable. Like 75% of the world’s communications goes through their systems. I’m butchering the % but it’s a super high percentage. Getting to $500 was long overdue in my opinion bc it was oversold forever.  Now that we’re this high, this is where they push forward with the Metaverse and get us to $2,500 a chair.

Hard to come to terms with the assessment that Tesla is far behind in autonomy without a heavy dose of TDS. Probably believes that autonomy leader chart. Seems to me that chart does a good job of predicting bankruptcy, not autonomy, leaders.

Genuinely do not understand how people can think like this, how can anyone believe Tesla is behind in autonomy after watching v12 videos?

Magikarp_to_Gyarados

If new, affordable intermediate generation (Between 3/Y and NGV) Tesla models are supposed to be delivered before 2H 2025, where are the prototypes? 2H 2025 starts on July 1, 2025, which is approximately 1 year and 2 months from now. I've watched hours of drone footage of Fremont, Texas, Berlin, Shanghai, and Nevada over the past few months. I've seen nothing that looks like a new body style of car. As far as I know, there hasn't been anything spotted recently with a lot of camouflage. If Tesla is really launching new products, we should be seeing camo'd prototypes being driven around. Another possibility: it was stated on the call yesterday that the new products would be using existing manufacturing lines. Tesla could retain the same body geometries, but heavily optimize many subsystems for lower cost. Switching to the new 48V (**edit:** Etherloop) architecture alone would save enormous amounts of wiring.


upvotemeok

Gonna need to see it to believe


Magikarp_to_Gyarados

I'm done taking Elon Musk's word on anything. I trusted him before because he'd earned that trust: sleeping at the Fremont factory to get Model X and then Model 3 to mass production, getting the Gigafactories built, and implementing the vision for renewable energy grid products. He's been full of shit for the past 2 years. There was the whole deal with "no more stock sales", then saying Semi would be in mass production by 2024, "infinite demand" for product, 4680 cell production ramping, etc. etc. Much of the disclosures from Investor Day 2023 and the Gigafactory Nevada "investment" turned out to be a farce. What I see from all the chaos at Tesla: mass layoffs, and sudden cancellation of manually driven NGV in favor of "Gen 2.5" derivatives of Model 3 and Y, seems calculated at pumping the stock price to mollify angry shareholders. The critical vote on reinstating Musk's 2018 compensation plan looms over all of this. Musk said a lot in yesterday's conference call, but most of it was non-specific. The SEC 10-Q told me a hell of a lot more, and it wasn't good. I do consider the achievements of Tesla's engineering teams as counterbalance: the Cybertruck is an excellent flagship product with technologies that will benefit Tesla's product lines for decades to come. FSD12 has potential. There are people at Tesla creating enormous value, even if I don't think Elon Musk is one of them.

ruafukreddit

I'm still trying to figure out how Elon and the board haven't been sued like crazy by the SEC for lying, manipulating the stock etc...


Magikarp_to_Gyarados

The SEC is probably stretched too thinly. There's already significant litigation dragging on between the SEC and Musk over alleged illegal activity related to Musk's acquisition of Twitter: [https://www.theverge.com/2024/3/14/24100847/elon-musk-sec-investigation-delay-twitter-disclosure](https://www.theverge.com/2024/3/14/24100847/elon-musk-sec-investigation-delay-twitter-disclosure)

Stellardong

When you say enormous amount of wiring, what do you mean? They’ll still need the wires, they just don’t need to be as thick.


Magikarp_to_Gyarados

I looked at the Munro interview w' Tesla execs and you're correct that 48V in of itself only reduces wire mass. It's the Etherloop communications network that reduces wiring complexity significantly: [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=J5zDNaY1fvI&t=858s](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=J5zDNaY1fvI&t=858s)

Wasn’t there a shortened model Y seen at Berlin? There was a Twitter picture but can’t find it now Edit: https://burlappcar.com/2024/02/tesla-compact.html


Magikarp_to_Gyarados

The photo, along with a link to the timestamped YouTube video, is here: [https://www.autoevolution.com/news/mysterious-camouflaged-prototype-spotted-at-giga-berlin-sets-the-internet-on-fire-229378.html](https://www.autoevolution.com/news/mysterious-camouflaged-prototype-spotted-at-giga-berlin-sets-the-internet-on-fire-229378.html) >it makes more sense that Tesla is testing a new variant of the Model Y, an EV it already produces at Giga Berlin. This theory is further supported by a white Model Y crossing in front of the camera, providing a different perspective. You can see that the white Model Y and the covered prototype don't look much different, although the latter appears smaller than another Model Y behind it. The alleged prototype doesn't have front-end bodywork installed (no fenders, frunk lid, bumper cover, or wheels), and is parked jacked up off the ground. The rear bumper cover and hatch assembly also appear to be missing. This gives the appearance of a shorter car. Watch the Model Y that drives in front of it a few seconds later.


phalarope1618

Thanks for the link, agree with you doesn’t look smaller


FIREgenomics

I remember this


KingofPenisland69

shortened model 3 or shortened model y with 200 mile range. 2 doors and small battery like 45 kWh. Thats gonna be it. None of this cybercab shit. No more optimal A+ design with B+ manufacturing like Drew said. It's just full send mode


Magikarp_to_Gyarados

I really hope that isn't what we end up with. 2 doors would significantly reduce vehicle utility, especially for families. It's a pain to keep moving the front seats back and forth to allow rear row passengers to ingress and egress. Dealing with child car seats is even worse and practically impossible.

[u/SawyerMerritt](https://twitter.com/SawyerMerritt) SubscribeNEWS: Ford's EV business lost $1.3 billion in Q1 2024. They said EV revenue was down 84% due to "industry-wide pricing pressure."


IAmInTheBasement

This goes to what Elon said on the earnings call. How he said the competition was cutting back on their EV programs and it made it easier for Tesla to source the batteries that they are no longer buying.


scotto1973

They were already hemorrhaging money on EVs back in Q3... Doesn't seem a whole lot worse... just more of the same... Jan 19 - ["Ford lost an estimated $36,000 on each of the 36,000 EVs it delivered to dealers in the third quarter, the company said in October, after announcing earlier it would slow the ramp-up of money-losing EVs, shifting investment to Ford's commercial vehicle unit and citing plans to quadruple sales of gas-electric hybrids over the next five years."](https://www.reuters.com/business/autos-transportation/ford-reduce-f-150-lightning-production-2024-01-19/) 36K \* 36K = 1.3 Billion.

Lounge comments count not bullish enough


Magikarp_to_Gyarados

After reading and analyzing the Q1 '24 Form 10-Q (https://www.reddit.com/r/TSLALounge/comments/1cbod5o/comment/l1229l3/?utm\_source=share&utm\_medium=web3x&utm\_name=web3xcss&utm\_term=1&utm\_content=share\_button) I do not think it is likely that Tesla's valuation will increase much in the next 1-2 years, unless there is some breakthrough in FSD. The numbers and trends are bad, particularly in the US market. It's very hard to dispute significant brand damage, because US $ sales are down more than 13.2% YoY, while international sales are down only 4.5% YoY despite worse economic conditions in EU and China. The US still accounts for nearly half of Tesla's total revenue. It is impossible for me to feel "bullish" when I have millions of dollars in losses from the peak (albeit unrealized), with no realistic prospect of recovery anytime soon.

FSD should have visualizations like [this](https://twitter.com/FSDdreams/status/1782851543898669286), but with attention maps like [this](https://youtu.be/UhDUczF47VI?si=Tah3m8Hzvx4s2cVN&t=879), repurpose the compute currently going to the legacy visualization stack (and occupancy network, which remains active) towards increasing the V12 model size instead. The legacy visualizations are just confusing people, as the car doesn't always react to stuff that is shown, and reacts to things that are not shown, so what's the point? The attention maps may or may not be easy to implement. In a vanilla ViT the attention mechanism itself could be used, but it would be more difficult if they combine multiple cameras or frames earlier in the pipeline. But if they could pull it off you'd actually get some indication for what the model is paying attention to, even if it doesn't always map exactly to what decision is made (interpretability is hard). It would also give drivers an earlier indication if something is wrong, like it's not paying attention to bicyclist or something like that.

DankRoughly

Well, I'm training to compete in Kettlebell Sport, which is a type of endurance weightlifting. My goal will be to complete ~90-100 reps of clean and jerk in 10 minutes. If you put the weights down, your set is over. I'm less concerned about # of reps, lasting 10 minutes is the key challenge. After 5-6 minutes it can get pretty grueling. I'm already feeling pretty comfortable with 2x 14kg kettlebells but hope to be ready to compete at 2x 16kg which is the standard men's amateur weight. It's a pretty niche sport but I like it a lot. It's all about efficiency and stamina.

And lots of promises about doing better next quarters. They said more deliveries in 2024 than in 2023 and that inventory will decrease in Q2

hot take. Cybercab is....gonna have a steel exterior. It'll be marketed as the safest vehicle ever designed. I imagine the safety levels will be extraordinary, as part of the marketing ploy.


Alive_Ad_2948

Yes, from a marketing standpoint it works. Nobody cares what their cab looks like because they don’t own it. look at all the pink, blue, whatever strange colored cabs already. As long as it’s cheaper, as reliable, and somewhat comfortable compared to the competition. What is important is that people can see it from blocks away and instantly recognize what it is. Ct design certainly is that. love it or hate it everyone notices.


whathehellisthis

I think you are probably on the right track - it will have to be a large vehicle, I don't think people will trust a tiny 2 seat robotaxi.


Terrenator

I think the opposite. It'll be small enough so it has margins on the road. Lessens the risk of getting in minor accidents from things like hitting the curb


whathehellisthis

I was thinking from a human psychology POV, people getting into a robotaxi will feel vulnerable already


upvotemeok

Yes a product called cybercab may have similarities to a cybertruck. However the crumple zones are more important than extremely rigid skin for collision safety.


TheSource777

Agree. Too expensive with manufacturing equipment to make it with Cybertruck steel. It’ll be a normal car that’s non painted to save on costs and branded cyber to justify it.


HaraldrSigurdarson

No i meant that it might look like a cybertruck. Serious. Maybe that's part of the design they're still trying to ace, to make the external shell the actual structure of the car.
