TSLA, SpaceX and all things Elon Musk

Jump to new
I have 2 mates with a Tesla and 3 at the Golf Club.
Without exception they all RAVE about it.

Had the same when I bought a Ford Ranger Wildtrack
Every Toyota friend I have bagged the crap out of it.

5 Years Later I still love it!!!
 
Car wise, MG (Chinese) is releasing a cheap offer here in Oz:https://mgmotor.com.au/models/mg-zsev/
I drove in BYD taxis in China: mature and tested technology
But without the automation etc from Tesla but so much cheaper and for most of my driving I do want to be in charge
So I expect Tesla to become the luxury aka bmw equivalent of EV, fords,GM etc and Chinese will take the market with cheaper basic EV and high ends cars will remain with Maserati EV etc
So competition ahead
But Tesla could be bought back, or start making real profit..How to value

The technology he wants to put into space with SpaceX is just amazing.

If/when SpaceX is listed I will be all over that like a rash!

I think the biggest opportunity in history will be the burgeoning space industry. It will be on par with investing in VOC or EIC but on a much larger scale.

The link above, in my view is an elemental component to the valuation of the vehicle wing of TSLA.
At posting the accumulated miles driven in 'Autonomous' by Tesla's is 2.375Billion miles. What other company has this information about their vehicals?
On this a growing data input and ancillary data collected from Tesla's when not autonomously driven; is laying the basis of the possibility full self driving, but I suspect before that, the aggressive utilisation of collected information to target Vehicle Insurance for their own vehicles to begin with.
Ark Invest was onto this awhile back, Hasn't yet been mentioned in the thread.
Other than to note Buffet's Berkshire is Heavily weighted in Insurance.

The National Transportation Safety Board says the driver of a Tesla SUV who died in a Silicon Valley crash two years ago was playing a video game on his smartphone while his vehicle was being controlled by a partially automated driving system. Chairman Robert Sumwalt said at the start of a hearing that systems like Tesla’s Autopilot cannot drive themselves yet drivers continue to use them without paying attention.

“If you own a car with partial automation, you do not own a self-driving car,” Sumwalt said in opening statements. “This means that when driving in the supposed ‘self-driving’ mode, you can’t read a book, you can’t watch a movie or TV show, you can’t text and you can’t play video games.”

Battery Day presentation slated for later this month... We're basically getting back at levels just pre the covid hit... with a company that can sell everthing it produces.
And the possibility of an in house battery product that will wipe the floor with the competition...
for those with an interest 'hyper change tesla'. These guy's spruke the upside, informative just the same, with skin in the game.
 
It's not my intention to diverge here; That said the South Australian Big Battery has an important association with Mike Cannon-Brookes. And the expansion going on is ???...dyor.
Attlassian(sic)nasdaq 'TEAM' is a chart that demands attention. my view.

The above link will explain how your Tesla vehical will make money for you while sitting in the garage.

So in relation....Reported on a "now you know" YouTube, I'm only taking them at their word;
About a fortnight ago when the price of electricity went negative in the UK, electric vehical owners were paid to put power into their vehicals..
 
The question asked at 15:45sec relates to 'AutoBidder'...
Approaching 800,000 preorders for the CyberTruck. On paper(back of the envelope ),circa, $60K U$ X 800,000.

 
September 15 is the tentative date for the Tesla's shareholder meeting as well as "Battery Day", at which the electric-car maker is expected to reveal significant advances in battery technology.

The battery event, which Musk has touted as being "one of the most exciting days in Tesla's history", was previously scheduled for May and the shareholder meeting was due on July 7.

I noted elsewhere on the Electric Car thread that the reason for postponing the Million Mile battery announcement to September (al.allegedly) was to enable the Teslas factories to actually starting producing/delivering cars with the new batteries from the time of announcement.

Apparently if companies make announcements of imminent new technologies then many potential buyers will cancel current orders and wait for the upgrade.

....Novonix also held an investor briefing on June 9 after announcing its "breakthrough" where chief operating officer Chris Burns was asked about the Tesla rumours. "There's a lot of coverage around Tesla's expansion toward being vertically integrated and building their own cells. And so they would certainly fall in this list of companies that would be interested in working with us on our materials," he said in response to a question that had been emailed in by an investor and read out by a representative of a communications firm assisting with the briefing.

Mr St Baker said the group had had confidentiality agreements in place with a number of players when asked about the Tesla rumours. "Battery cell makers supplying the automakers are the companies you need to be doing deals with if you're a battery materials company and that's exactly what Novonix is doing," he said. "Publicly available information shows that Tesla buys its battery cells from the established makers, while they are working toward potentially making their own cells in the future."
