🤖 Tesla's second act: AI5 + energy + CyberCab

On an 18-month lens, Tesla's next version is humming on all cylinders: AI5 silicon ('40x better than AI4' by some metrics) as the building block for CyberCab and Optimus, an energy business printing $3.5B/quarter at 30% operating margins as the LFP-battery limiter-solver, and CyberCab as a 'shockwave'. Governance risk: the pay-package vote.

“here's a shipping container that you can just drop on a concrete pad somewhere, plug in the power and let it rip. ... if Tesla can make them available, folks like us for my data center project, we would be enormous buyers of these things ... you have like a 90-day build cycle, which is unheard of.”

“I still don't like the fact that Tesla is over here. And as I told you, that will get merged in. And now you have this incredible corpus of physical capability, movement of all kinds... That thing will look very cheap, I think, in a few years.”

“When Tesla and SpaceX merge, and we have all things Elon and Elon Corp, which will happen probably by the end of the year, maybe the middle of next year... you'll have this one asset that will trade at a valuation premium... which is logically explainable — everybody else has stopped innovating.”

“All of the cars we make are capable of unsupervised full autonomy... We start production of the CyberCab in Q2 next year... ultimately, we'll make millions of CyberCabs per year... we do expect that the cars will be driving around without any safety monitor before the end of the year, so sometime in December... [with a 100M-vehicle fleet] you'd have 100 gigawatts of inference computer.”

“when you buy it today, you're trying to buy what that company is going to look like in 18 months from now. ... printing $3.5 billion a quarter and it's operating margins, ... I read all of those things and I was very bullish. I think that he is humming on all cylinders on the critical layers of the stack that he needs to build this next version of Tesla.”
