when Elon speaks you never get the feeling that he's trying to hide anything or obfuscate in any way. it's so refreshing compared with the politicians and CEOs we are so used to hearing.

[@fredbloggs5902]

Most of the time he’s unscripted. His hesitations are him calculating the answers in real time.

[@MnemonicKariboo]

It also adds to the amount of BS he speaks outside his areas of expertise, unfortunately. But when he‘s on a subject he‘s passionate and knowledgeable about, it‘s refreshing. True.

[@generalgeert]

[@windowzombie]

Dave, I've respected your reports for years and I actually feel like you are engaging in a conversation. I've greatly benefited from my investments in the last five years. I believe in Tesla and I believe in Elon's direction, but I don't think the world at large can sustain itself until these ideas from my childhood finally come to fruition. Russia is stroking nuclear threats, American democracy is crumbling, There is no global initiative to fix the climate. I want Tesla to succeed, I know it will, but I am worried that external societal pressures will screw it up.

[@ordinaryhuman5645]

American democracy was a mistake though. It was supposed to be a republic without universal suffrage. The crumbling after that corruption is a positive thing.

Till people and wall street think Tesla is just another auto company, its good for Tesla investors IMO. The more it is misunderstood, the more it gives opportunity to buy Tesla shares at low prices.

[@bluetoad2668]

you're dead right. I thought that people would have caught on by now but it seems that one thing we can rely on is the low intelligence of the general public. long may it continue (well, maybe we could do with a bit more intelligence when voting)

[@AudiTTQuattro2003]

...that's why it's call speculative. If there were actual numbers backing up the valuation, it would be an established company, with dividends and more subdued growth. At this point, much is based on promises.

Dave but the big, big point is how this speaks to valuation. If each entity (sub-entity) is given a value then the whole of Tesla is made up of this composite value and then some. To me that's part of what's misunderstood as well.

Put simply “Tesla made greater net profits in Q1 than Ford and GM combined, matching those of Toyota.

@@AudiTTQuattro2003 Currently, a lot of public transportation uses ICE vehicles. As more EVs get made, the motor and battery technologies will improve and get cheaper, thus making electric-based public transportation more practical and affordable.

Any idea when Tesla Insurance is coming to Europe?

[@richardnottage4737]

Thanks Dave. Great as ever. Out of interest any idea how Tesla insurance premiums would change once FSD is solved? That is, if FSD is used more than not, would Tesla just apply some standard rate - since it couldn't base the premium on "how well you drive" data? (Since Tesla itself (FSD) would be doing the driving).

[@mikebaker3152]

In UK, legislation being prepared and insurance companies considering manufacturers as “insured” party in event of accident during level 5 autonomy.

Yes likely to be country specific but the focus is moving away from the owner paying insurance and the operator taking on the liability

Hey Dave, considering Tesla as many business in one. Which do you think should be unbundled and get listed? Supercharger? Tesla Energy?

If they demerger each company will need to justify their viability as a separate entity, whereas they currently work in unison as part of the whole. The goal of cleaning up energy through smarter products is much better served with a team that has a common purpose.

How could you not be bullish on tesla after watching this

[@lloydflorence1]

I am a Tesla shareholder and an ardent Elon Musk fan. In my opinion, one of Elon’s greatest strengths is his willingness to try things and, if they go pear-shaped, to admit that he made a mistake, correct it and move on. I am also a big Dave Lee fan. Your analysis of Tesla and the stock market is always cogent and Elon pays attention to your tweets. Watching the Twitter saga devolve into a personal smear campaign against Elon and seeing Elon waste his time hiring hardcore streetfighters for a new litigation department is like watching a modern-day version of the tragic stories of Midas and Icarus. Can you think of a way to convince Elon to just walk away from this accursed Twitter deal ($1B breakup fee notwithstanding) and get back to performing his "everyday" miracles, like sharing his vision for Tesla in Master Plan Part 3, wowing the engineering world with Tesla AI Day #2, and launching the first manned spaceship to Mars?

[@CouchInvestor]

With regards to Tesla insurance, I don't think legally you can change the rates frequently(it takes time to get approved). Other than that, the incentive to drive safer and save money is a no brainer.

[@joel_ols]

nice dissection

[@trinhquy]

Basically, Tesla is an engineer; other auto companies are just like a factory worker. Both are building cars. That's the only difference here. BTW, Tesla silicon is a huge deal and it could be much better if we can know a little more about this team. As far as I know, Tesla used air cooling for the FSD board at first, and then changed to liquid cooling to improve heat dissipation. If that still hold true until today, I would say that their FSD chip is not that "power efficient" like Elon said.
