1
00:00:00,100 --> 00:00:05,300
I mean I stand by my prediction 
long-term you know that that 

2
00:00:05,300 --> 00:00:07,400
Tesla will be the most valuable 
company in the world. 

3
00:00:07,500 --> 00:00:10,500
Tesla will be the most valuable 
company in the world. 

4
00:00:10,600 --> 00:00:13,400
That is what Elon Musk just 
said, December 22nd. 

5
00:00:13,400 --> 00:00:16,600
So that was very recent just 
this month, he repeated his 

6
00:00:16,600 --> 00:00:18,400
prediction again that he thinks 
his company. 

7
00:00:18,400 --> 00:00:21,100
Tesla will become the most 
valuable company in the world. 

8
00:00:21,100 --> 00:00:24,200
Now, he's even made comparisons 
that he thinks it will become 

9
00:00:24,200 --> 00:00:27,700
worth, more than Saudi aramco, 
more than Apple and more than 

10
00:00:27,700 --> 00:00:30,400
all these other companies 
combined a Massive 

11
00:00:30,400 --> 00:00:33,300
multitrillion-dollar market cap 
company, and these predictions 

12
00:00:33,300 --> 00:00:35,400
are ones that lots of people. 
Hold, we have Steven, from 

13
00:00:35,400 --> 00:00:38,700
solving, the money problem, a 
very popular Channel on YouTube.

14
00:00:39,000 --> 00:00:41,900
He's basically all in on Tesla. 
That's been as portfolio for a 

15
00:00:41,908 --> 00:00:44,200
long period of time. 
I think he's done really well on

16
00:00:44,200 --> 00:00:46,500
it. 
And his prediction is that Tesla

17
00:00:46,500 --> 00:00:49,600
like Elon Musk. 
It will be the most valuable 

18
00:00:49,600 --> 00:00:52,500
company in the world with a 
multitrillion-dollar market cap.

19
00:00:53,000 --> 00:00:55,500
We have Jeremy from Financial 
education, just putting out a 

20
00:00:55,500 --> 00:00:58,100
video. 
I think yesterday where he gave 

21
00:00:58,100 --> 00:01:02,300
his base case for Tesla Implying
that it would have 50 billion 

22
00:01:02,300 --> 00:01:05,099
dollars of net income. 
And again have a multi-trillion 

23
00:01:05,099 --> 00:01:07,800
dollar valuation. 
So I'm aware I'm surrounded by a

24
00:01:07,800 --> 00:01:10,100
lot of YouTube channels that are
very bullish on Tesla. 

25
00:01:10,100 --> 00:01:12,500
They think this company is going
to be massive, it's going to be 

26
00:01:12,500 --> 00:01:14,400
huge. 
They have lots of reasons to 

27
00:01:14,400 --> 00:01:17,600
back that up and that comes at a
time where the stock is down. 

28
00:01:17,600 --> 00:01:21,100
Big, it's down 72%. 
So naturally, a lot of people 

29
00:01:21,100 --> 00:01:23,600
are asking the question. 
Is this a good time to be 

30
00:01:23,600 --> 00:01:25,600
jumping into Tesla? 
And I've asked the same 

31
00:01:25,600 --> 00:01:28,800
question, I've come to a 
different conclusion, so I'm 

32
00:01:28,800 --> 00:01:31,900
hopeful that in this So I can 
share an opposing view about 

33
00:01:31,900 --> 00:01:35,500
Tesla of why I'm not buying the 
stock without being labeled a 

34
00:01:35,500 --> 00:01:37,600
hater. 
I don't have anything against 

35
00:01:37,600 --> 00:01:39,300
anybody that's invested in 
Tesla. 

36
00:01:39,300 --> 00:01:41,900
I don't think there are dumb or 
stupid or anything like that, 

37
00:01:42,200 --> 00:01:45,000
but I think it's good to hear 
opposing viewpoints with any 

38
00:01:45,000 --> 00:01:47,600
company. 
And I think if you get into the 

39
00:01:47,600 --> 00:01:50,300
attitude of only hearing 
viewpoints that reaffirm your 

40
00:01:50,300 --> 00:01:53,100
biases, it can cause a little 
bit of an echo chamber. 

41
00:01:53,400 --> 00:01:54,700
So, in this video, I'm laying 
out, why? 

42
00:01:54,700 --> 00:01:58,200
I'm not investing in Tesla, why?
I think this company has way 

43
00:01:58,200 --> 00:01:59,800
more risk inherent in the 
investment. 

44
00:02:00,000 --> 00:02:01,900
Most investors are giving it 
credit for. 

45
00:02:02,100 --> 00:02:04,300
I think it's a much riskier 
investment than most people 

46
00:02:04,300 --> 00:02:06,700
realize and this is something 
that I've done routinely and I 

47
00:02:06,708 --> 00:02:09,000
hope these videos are valuable. 
I hope these different 

48
00:02:09,000 --> 00:02:10,699
contrarian view points are 
valuable. 

49
00:02:10,900 --> 00:02:13,400
I've done something similar with
palantir when it was trading 

50
00:02:13,400 --> 00:02:16,200
around $30 per share. 
I made a video about why I'm not

51
00:02:16,200 --> 00:02:18,000
buying it. 
I think the company had a lot 

52
00:02:18,000 --> 00:02:19,400
more risk. 
I think investors are too 

53
00:02:19,400 --> 00:02:21,500
enthusiastic. 
I think they're predicting too, 

54
00:02:21,500 --> 00:02:24,700
good of a future for it. 
Pounders like six or seven 

55
00:02:24,700 --> 00:02:28,500
dollars a share down its down 
70% during the peak of Arc 

56
00:02:28,500 --> 00:02:31,300
invest hype. 
Be wary of 2021. 

57
00:02:31,400 --> 00:02:34,100
I made a video warning about 
Arc, invest how I thought it 

58
00:02:34,100 --> 00:02:37,600
would have low perspective. 
Returns it's down to 80% since 

59
00:02:37,600 --> 00:02:40,600
that video and so I'd like to 
make these opposing Viewpoint 

60
00:02:40,600 --> 00:02:43,100
videos because I think they can 
be helpful when you're doing 

61
00:02:43,100 --> 00:02:44,900
research. 
And I think this one will be 

62
00:02:44,900 --> 00:02:47,600
helpful to consider even if your
Tesla investor. 

63
00:02:47,700 --> 00:02:49,600
That would be the Hope here. 
So let's go ahead and Jump Right

64
00:02:49,600 --> 00:02:52,500
In will bring up Tesla here. 
And the big thing that's drawing

65
00:02:52,500 --> 00:02:56,400
attention to test the stock a 
recently is both at the CEO, 

66
00:02:56,400 --> 00:02:59,200
obviously, Elon Musk is an 
attention-grabbing person. 

67
00:02:59,400 --> 00:03:01,300
Tesla Is an attention-grabbing 
stock. 

68
00:03:01,300 --> 00:03:04,600
It's always been that way, but 
especially so over the past six 

69
00:03:04,600 --> 00:03:06,500
months because of the 
breathtaking fall of the 

70
00:03:06,500 --> 00:03:08,700
company. 
Now, I've seen a lot of dramatic

71
00:03:08,700 --> 00:03:11,600
Falls of companies. 
We've seen meta, we've seen 

72
00:03:11,600 --> 00:03:14,300
PayPal. 
We've seen Netflix, we've seen a

73
00:03:14,308 --> 00:03:18,200
lot of companies fall, but none 
quite like Tesla, because the 

74
00:03:18,200 --> 00:03:21,100
size of this company was 
massive, a trillion dollar 

75
00:03:21,100 --> 00:03:24,100
market cap and it's down 73 
percent year-to-date. 

76
00:03:24,400 --> 00:03:27,700
And then if we look at it in, 
just the past 90 days, three 

77
00:03:27,700 --> 00:03:31,800
months, it's down 59%, Don't we 
look in the past month. 

78
00:03:31,900 --> 00:03:34,000
One month, then it's down. 
More than a percent that day 

79
00:03:34,000 --> 00:03:37,500
down 40%. 
This is a breathtaking dramatic 

80
00:03:37,500 --> 00:03:40,900
fall and there's been a lot of 
finger-pointing people blaming 

81
00:03:40,900 --> 00:03:44,600
Elon Musk, Elon Musk blaming the
fed and the, you know, it goes 

82
00:03:44,600 --> 00:03:47,700
on and on people blame different
things but regardless, that is 

83
00:03:47,700 --> 00:03:50,800
why people are focused on Tesla.
Now, what does this fall do? 

84
00:03:50,800 --> 00:03:53,100
Of course, it makes the 
valuation cheaper for Tesla. 

85
00:03:53,100 --> 00:03:55,900
So people are wondering now, 
they should buy the dip for the 

86
00:03:55,900 --> 00:03:59,500
company and I think that 
question that one question. 

87
00:04:00,000 --> 00:04:02,200
Is reliant on one other 
question. 

88
00:04:02,500 --> 00:04:04,700
The other question of whether or
not you should buy, the dip is 

89
00:04:04,700 --> 00:04:07,700
reliant on. 
The question is Tesla, a car 

90
00:04:07,700 --> 00:04:09,500
company. 
This is an important question 

91
00:04:09,500 --> 00:04:12,400
for Tesla investors. 
Listen to Gene Munster call in 

92
00:04:12,400 --> 00:04:16,300
on the phone for CNBC I think he
accurately portrays this 

93
00:04:16,300 --> 00:04:20,399
question which of the panelists 
talked about this today but is 

94
00:04:20,399 --> 00:04:22,100
this a tech company or a car 
company? 

95
00:04:22,500 --> 00:04:24,600
And I think that to me is the 
bigger question. 

96
00:04:24,600 --> 00:04:26,200
If you think it's a car company,
you shouldn't own. 

97
00:04:26,200 --> 00:04:29,700
It this means that they're going
to have minimal market share. 

98
00:04:29,900 --> 00:04:31,700
Share that their margins will go
away. 

99
00:04:31,700 --> 00:04:33,600
That other companies are going 
to catch up to them. 

100
00:04:34,000 --> 00:04:36,300
If you think they have some sort
of a competitive Tech advantage 

101
00:04:36,300 --> 00:04:41,700
or on manufacturing, whether 
it's FST batteries that will 

102
00:04:41,700 --> 00:04:43,500
yield higher margins than 
typical. 

103
00:04:43,500 --> 00:04:46,700
And there's a massive Market 
doesn't getting into so Melissa,

104
00:04:47,000 --> 00:04:49,800
80% of this is the vortex over 
the next month. 

105
00:04:49,800 --> 00:04:52,000
I think the bigger question 
investors should be asking here 

106
00:04:52,000 --> 00:04:54,500
is this the car or tech company?
If you believe it's a tech 

107
00:04:54,500 --> 00:04:57,100
company I think you should own 
it here despite what the the 

108
00:04:57,100 --> 00:04:59,500
sock is trying to tell us and 
think long term, it goes higher 

109
00:04:59,500 --> 00:05:02,000
and to Stan, why this question 
is so important of whether or 

110
00:05:02,008 --> 00:05:05,500
not Tesla's a car company or a 
good tech company is because of 

111
00:05:05,500 --> 00:05:07,900
the implications in those 
definitions. 

112
00:05:08,000 --> 00:05:10,700
If you're to break down the 
differences between a good tech 

113
00:05:10,700 --> 00:05:13,700
company in a car company, it 
looks something like this. 

114
00:05:14,000 --> 00:05:16,500
Good tech companies have high 
Returns on Capital employed, 

115
00:05:16,600 --> 00:05:19,100
they're typically asset light, 
they have high gross, margins, 

116
00:05:19,100 --> 00:05:22,000
High profit margins, High 
operating margins, they have 

117
00:05:22,000 --> 00:05:24,300
reoccurring Revenue, they're 
highly scalable. 

118
00:05:24,500 --> 00:05:28,100
They also have high barriers to 
entry large Network effects. 

119
00:05:28,300 --> 00:05:30,300
They have a lock in creating a 
note. 

120
00:05:30,400 --> 00:05:33,200
This is what defines a good tech
company. 

121
00:05:33,200 --> 00:05:35,500
Now, a car company. 
On the other hand is very 

122
00:05:35,500 --> 00:05:39,800
different car, companies are not
good companies period, it's not 

123
00:05:39,800 --> 00:05:43,000
a good industry, not good. 
Place to be car companies have 

124
00:05:43,000 --> 00:05:47,000
low Returns on Capital employed,
that's also very sporadic car. 

125
00:05:47,000 --> 00:05:50,600
Companies are capital intensive,
they faced intense competition. 

126
00:05:50,700 --> 00:05:53,000
They're highly cyclical. 
They're sensitive to the 

127
00:05:53,000 --> 00:05:55,100
economy, they sell a product, 
that's not a reoccurring 

128
00:05:55,100 --> 00:05:57,800
purchase rather. 
It's a one-time lumpy expense 

129
00:05:58,100 --> 00:05:59,700
that the lifespan can be 
extended for you. 

130
00:05:59,900 --> 00:06:03,600
Years during economic slowness, 
overall car companies are bad 

131
00:06:03,600 --> 00:06:06,300
businesses and their different 
than tech companies. 

132
00:06:06,500 --> 00:06:09,400
That is why they trade 
differently from tech companies.

133
00:06:09,600 --> 00:06:13,300
An example of this a great 
example is Ford a car company 

134
00:06:13,400 --> 00:06:18,000
for trades at the same price it 
did in 1987 over 30 years ago, 

135
00:06:18,200 --> 00:06:20,600
the only gains over that time 
period is basically, the 

136
00:06:20,600 --> 00:06:23,800
dividends that spade and that 
has not kept up with the market 

137
00:06:23,800 --> 00:06:25,800
Ford's earnings per share. 
Not a compounder. 

138
00:06:25,800 --> 00:06:28,400
They don't just continuously 
grow over time, rather, they're 

139
00:06:28,400 --> 00:06:31,100
highly cyclical and Suitable 
Ford's Returns on Capital 

140
00:06:31,100 --> 00:06:34,500
employed, overall are incredibly
low, most of the time, be lower 

141
00:06:34,500 --> 00:06:37,600
the cost of capital and more 
than that, they're also highly 

142
00:06:37,600 --> 00:06:40,000
cyclical. 
This company never knows whether

143
00:06:40,000 --> 00:06:41,900
the Investments it makes are 
going to be profitable. 

144
00:06:41,900 --> 00:06:45,800
And again, the sensitivity to 
the economy market Cycles. 

145
00:06:45,800 --> 00:06:49,000
Make this company overall with 
its Investments, very 

146
00:06:49,000 --> 00:06:51,800
unpredictable, even Ford's 
revenue is not very stable. 

147
00:06:51,800 --> 00:06:55,000
It typically goes down a lot 
during recessions and takes a 

148
00:06:55,008 --> 00:06:56,100
long time. 
Period to recover. 

149
00:06:56,100 --> 00:06:59,200
Now, investors realize all of 
these things with Ford and it's 

150
00:06:59,200 --> 00:07:01,800
priced appropriately. 
Really four trades below a 

151
00:07:01,800 --> 00:07:04,700
commodity multiple of a 12 
forward P/E, that means that 

152
00:07:04,700 --> 00:07:08,400
investors are literally pricing 
it as a wealth destructive 

153
00:07:08,400 --> 00:07:11,700
company, a company that does not
create wealth above the cost of 

154
00:07:11,700 --> 00:07:14,700
capital, the pricing a day, 
seven forward P/E. 

155
00:07:14,800 --> 00:07:17,800
So all of these various concerns
with Ford the cyclic ality the 

156
00:07:17,800 --> 00:07:21,100
sensitivity to the economy, the 
low Returns on Capital employed.

157
00:07:21,100 --> 00:07:23,700
The historically, bad 
performance are being priced 

158
00:07:23,700 --> 00:07:27,400
into the stock, by investors it 
trades at a below, commodity 

159
00:07:27,400 --> 00:07:29,400
multiple with this seven forward
P/E. 

160
00:07:29,800 --> 00:07:31,900
A very low multiple. 
And for again, is not 

161
00:07:31,900 --> 00:07:34,900
cherry-picking, it's not unique 
in this, this is the car 

162
00:07:34,900 --> 00:07:39,400
industry companies like GM trade
at a 64 PE, because they suffer 

163
00:07:39,400 --> 00:07:42,800
from the very same thing. 
This is an industry-wide problem

164
00:07:42,800 --> 00:07:45,000
with these Investments. 
Now, the big outlier here, of 

165
00:07:45,000 --> 00:07:47,900
course is Tesla. 
This company does not trade at a

166
00:07:47,900 --> 00:07:52,700
six or seven forward P/E ratio, 
even after the dramatic 72% 

167
00:07:52,700 --> 00:07:55,900
sell-off year-to-date, 50% over 
the past three months, the 

168
00:07:55,907 --> 00:08:00,300
company still trades at a 28.8 
forward, P/E ratio, Which is 

169
00:08:00,300 --> 00:08:03,300
four times as much as GM and 
Ford four times the price for 

170
00:08:03,300 --> 00:08:06,000
this company's next year's 
earnings and that's what raises 

171
00:08:06,000 --> 00:08:08,900
this big question of if Tesla's 
different than other car 

172
00:08:08,900 --> 00:08:11,700
companies. 
Because if Tesla is the same 

173
00:08:11,900 --> 00:08:15,000
around the same as other car 
companies, it deserves to fall 

174
00:08:15,000 --> 00:08:18,200
in price by another 70%, that's 
the implications there. 

175
00:08:18,500 --> 00:08:20,800
So we have to show that Tesla is
different than other car 

176
00:08:20,800 --> 00:08:23,500
companies by a substantial 
amount to be trading up four 

177
00:08:23,500 --> 00:08:25,300
times a multiple. 
So let's go ahead and jump into 

178
00:08:25,300 --> 00:08:26,800
this. 
Question is Tesla different than

179
00:08:26,800 --> 00:08:29,100
a car company. 
Well, a lot of people attribute 

180
00:08:29,100 --> 00:08:32,799
different The Buttes to Tesla 
one of them that I heard really 

181
00:08:32,799 --> 00:08:37,100
frequently six months to a year 
ago was unlimited demand. 

182
00:08:37,100 --> 00:08:40,100
That was one of the biggest 
talking points from Tesla bowls.

183
00:08:40,299 --> 00:08:43,400
I've heard it over and over and 
over again, Tesla doesn't have 

184
00:08:43,400 --> 00:08:45,600
demand issues. 
It sells as many vehicles as it 

185
00:08:45,600 --> 00:08:48,200
can produce, it's only limited 
by the amount of vehicles. 

186
00:08:48,200 --> 00:08:51,100
It can produce. 
In fact we have people with 

187
00:08:51,100 --> 00:08:52,900
interviews. 
One year ago that say this 

188
00:08:52,900 --> 00:08:55,600
pretty explicitly. 
Here's one of the most notable 

189
00:08:55,600 --> 00:08:59,700
Tesla analysts who is pure. 
They have unlimited demon so far

190
00:08:59,900 --> 00:09:04,400
Six months, wait times for all 
cars, unlimited demand so far, 

191
00:09:04,400 --> 00:09:08,000
six months plus wait time. 
That's not a random clip. 

192
00:09:08,000 --> 00:09:11,700
I'm not cherry picking here. 
I could find a dozen two dozen 

193
00:09:11,700 --> 00:09:14,900
clips of people saying the same 
thing on CNBC Tesla, both saying

194
00:09:14,900 --> 00:09:18,300
the exact same thing Tesla has 
unlimited demand unlimited 

195
00:09:18,300 --> 00:09:20,400
demand, unlimited demand. 
Now what's happened over the 

196
00:09:20,400 --> 00:09:22,100
past year? 
Well it seems like the unlimited

197
00:09:22,100 --> 00:09:25,900
demand thesis that part of the 
thesis is starting to vanish. 

198
00:09:25,900 --> 00:09:28,400
It seems like there's a little 
bit of cracks in that unlimited 

199
00:09:28,400 --> 00:09:29,600
demand Tesla. 
Sure. 

200
00:09:29,800 --> 00:09:32,800
Those are sliding on demand 
concerns, we have articles going

201
00:09:32,800 --> 00:09:34,900
back, just a couple of months 
saying that there's a lot of 

202
00:09:34,908 --> 00:09:38,200
price Cuts with the model 3 to 
try to make it so that it can 

203
00:09:38,200 --> 00:09:40,600
sell their current Vehicles. 
They're they're cutting down 

204
00:09:40,600 --> 00:09:43,100
prices, which is a clear 
indication that they have a 

205
00:09:43,100 --> 00:09:46,500
lower demand companies, don't 
lower prices because they have 

206
00:09:46,500 --> 00:09:48,600
unlimited demand. 
Then we have other reports of 

207
00:09:48,600 --> 00:09:51,500
Tesla not only cutting prices 
but actually cutting output. 

208
00:09:51,700 --> 00:09:54,000
So they're out right, sizing 
down the amount of vehicles, 

209
00:09:54,000 --> 00:09:56,700
they're producing again. 
The only reason they do this is 

210
00:09:56,700 --> 00:09:59,700
because of demand issues now 
even though you don't hear this,

211
00:09:59,800 --> 00:10:02,400
The thesis is much anymore 
because it's starting to be 

212
00:10:02,900 --> 00:10:06,300
diminished a little bit. 
Keep in mind, this was a central

213
00:10:06,300 --> 00:10:09,300
thesis of many Tesla investors 
just one year ago. 

214
00:10:09,500 --> 00:10:12,300
One year ago, the story of Tesla
and why it was different than 

215
00:10:12,300 --> 00:10:15,500
other car companies? 
Is it had unlimited amounts of 

216
00:10:15,500 --> 00:10:18,800
demand and we're just seeing 
that not happen. 

217
00:10:19,000 --> 00:10:23,300
It seems like Tesla is starting 
to act and behave like other car

218
00:10:23,300 --> 00:10:26,200
companies with demand 
limitations and it's starting to

219
00:10:26,208 --> 00:10:29,500
act like a cyclical company. 
That's sensitive to the economy.

220
00:10:29,800 --> 00:10:31,100
We know what's going on right 
now. 

221
00:10:31,500 --> 00:10:33,500
The situation has changed for 
the economy. 

222
00:10:33,500 --> 00:10:35,500
We have the car dealership guy 
on Twitter. 

223
00:10:35,900 --> 00:10:37,600
That post a lot about the car 
industry. 

224
00:10:37,600 --> 00:10:41,600
Sing imagine, you're a 750 plus 
credit score rating, which is 

225
00:10:41,600 --> 00:10:44,800
the highest score. 
Now, imagine you come to buy a 

226
00:10:44,800 --> 00:10:49,100
car and I offer you a nine 
percent APR puke Emoji. 

227
00:10:49,300 --> 00:10:52,700
Rightfully, so who wants a nine 
percent interest rate on an auto

228
00:10:52,700 --> 00:10:54,600
loan? 
I don't need to say much more. 

229
00:10:55,300 --> 00:10:58,100
High rates are killing the car 
business right now. 

230
00:10:58,600 --> 00:11:02,100
They're crushing it. 
A year ago, the unlimited demand

231
00:11:02,100 --> 00:11:04,900
was closely tied to unlimited 
amounts of capital. 

232
00:11:05,000 --> 00:11:07,700
You could get car loans for one 
or two percent. 

233
00:11:07,700 --> 00:11:10,800
I have a loan for a car that is 
2.1 percent. 

234
00:11:10,900 --> 00:11:13,600
It's about as cheap as money can
get, I get more in a savings 

235
00:11:13,600 --> 00:11:16,300
account. 
Now that's change that window of

236
00:11:16,300 --> 00:11:18,600
opportunity. 
For all these car, companies has

237
00:11:18,600 --> 00:11:21,800
vanished, the FED jacked up, 
interest rates so high, and it's

238
00:11:21,800 --> 00:11:23,700
going to take a while for them 
to come back down. 

239
00:11:23,900 --> 00:11:28,100
And we're seeing this affect 
every car company used cars and 

240
00:11:28,100 --> 00:11:31,300
the auto business as a whole. 
Oh, and what we're not seeing is

241
00:11:31,300 --> 00:11:33,200
Tesla being spared from these 
effects. 

242
00:11:33,400 --> 00:11:36,600
We're seeing Tesla be affected 
by them, with both price, cuts 

243
00:11:36,600 --> 00:11:39,700
and demand problems. 
We're seeing in the data itself.

244
00:11:39,700 --> 00:11:42,100
Used car prices, go down month. 
After month. 

245
00:11:42,100 --> 00:11:45,400
After month, this does have an 
impact on the overall car 

246
00:11:45,400 --> 00:11:48,100
industry and I think a lot of 
investors are forgetting. 

247
00:11:48,400 --> 00:11:51,800
If you can't get cheap interest 
rates on car loans and it goes 

248
00:11:51,800 --> 00:11:54,200
from 2 percent to 9 percent your
car. 

249
00:11:54,200 --> 00:11:57,500
Payment goes up dramatically, 
most people can't afford that 

250
00:11:57,500 --> 00:11:59,600
they simply can't afford a 
thousand. 

251
00:11:59,700 --> 00:12:01,500
Fifteen hundred dollar car 
payment. 

252
00:12:01,500 --> 00:12:03,800
They could afford a five hundred
dollar one or a four hundred 

253
00:12:03,800 --> 00:12:05,500
dollar one. 
But once it gets into the 

254
00:12:05,500 --> 00:12:09,000
thousands that is unaffordable 
for most families and they're 

255
00:12:09,000 --> 00:12:12,200
not going to be buying used 
luxury vehicles or new luxury 

256
00:12:12,200 --> 00:12:14,500
Vehicles when they can't get 
cheaper Credit. 

257
00:12:14,500 --> 00:12:17,000
Now to add on to those concerns.
That brings me to the next part.

258
00:12:17,000 --> 00:12:20,600
If Tesla's not a car company and
it said, a different company, a 

259
00:12:20,608 --> 00:12:23,300
different entity, a really 
quality tech company. 

260
00:12:23,300 --> 00:12:26,700
Then it's not going to be as 
economically sensitive as most 

261
00:12:26,700 --> 00:12:29,300
car companies, but I don't know 
if that's going to be the case. 

262
00:12:29,300 --> 00:12:33,200
I I really am unsure about that.
I think Tesla may be about as 

263
00:12:33,200 --> 00:12:35,500
economically sensitive to the 
economy. 

264
00:12:35,500 --> 00:12:38,800
As most car companies, not only 
is it affected by interest rates

265
00:12:39,200 --> 00:12:42,500
but economically sensitive 
companies have a wealth effect. 

266
00:12:42,600 --> 00:12:45,700
We have home prices, going down 
month after month, after month, 

267
00:12:45,700 --> 00:12:47,700
when home prices go down, it 
makes you feel poor. 

268
00:12:47,800 --> 00:12:50,800
When you feel poor, you don't 
buy high-end premium Vehicles, 

269
00:12:51,100 --> 00:12:54,800
we have the stock market going 
down dramatically the S&P, 500 

270
00:12:54,800 --> 00:12:58,800
down, 20 plus percent that QQQ 
down 30 plus percent that as a 

271
00:12:58,808 --> 00:13:01,300
massive wealth. 
Fact, people feel poor this year

272
00:13:01,300 --> 00:13:03,700
than last year. 
And again, if most people feel 

273
00:13:03,700 --> 00:13:06,700
poor, most people are going to 
be more reluctant to buy premium

274
00:13:06,700 --> 00:13:08,600
Vehicles. 
So I look at the whole situation

275
00:13:08,600 --> 00:13:11,000
here and I ask myself is Tesla 
really that much less 

276
00:13:11,000 --> 00:13:14,600
susceptible to the overall 
economy than most car companies 

277
00:13:15,000 --> 00:13:17,500
and I just don't know. 
But I think it's very risky and 

278
00:13:17,500 --> 00:13:20,500
I think most investors are 
assuming that it's not when 

279
00:13:20,500 --> 00:13:23,000
there's a good chance that it is
that it's going to be just as 

280
00:13:23,000 --> 00:13:25,300
susceptible as most other car 
companies. 

281
00:13:25,300 --> 00:13:28,000
Now we bring up the next point 
of the question as Tesla, 

282
00:13:28,000 --> 00:13:31,800
another car company. 
Of the big moat advantages that 

283
00:13:31,800 --> 00:13:35,500
lots of Tesla bulls have cited. 
Is that Tesla has a unique 

284
00:13:35,500 --> 00:13:37,900
Advantage with their Giga 
factories and with their 

285
00:13:37,900 --> 00:13:40,600
manufacturing prowess. 
They basically are so 

286
00:13:40,600 --> 00:13:42,500
sophisticated. 
And so Advanced with their 

287
00:13:42,500 --> 00:13:46,600
robots and Manufacturing process
that they can manufacture these 

288
00:13:46,600 --> 00:13:49,600
vehicles for a cheaper price, 
which raises their margins 

289
00:13:49,600 --> 00:13:53,700
overall and Tesla has gone to 
Great Lengths to sort of show 

290
00:13:53,700 --> 00:13:55,500
off their, their Advanced 
manufacturing. 

291
00:13:55,500 --> 00:13:57,800
With these really slick 
Productions. 

292
00:13:57,800 --> 00:14:00,100
Look at this video here. 
This is from the Ella YouTube 

293
00:14:00,100 --> 00:14:25,100
channel. 
By the way, I just find this 

294
00:14:25,100 --> 00:14:28,700
stuff so amazing and 
fascinating, what we're able to 

295
00:14:28,700 --> 00:14:31,700
create, its it is incredible. 
I have to give Tesla engineers 

296
00:14:31,700 --> 00:14:34,000
in the robotic Engineers. 
I mean, this stuff is just 

297
00:14:34,000 --> 00:15:01,600
fascinating. 
You know, I'm thinking about how

298
00:15:01,600 --> 00:15:03,600
they're filming this. 
Do they have some, like 

299
00:15:03,700 --> 00:15:07,000
world-class drone flyer in here.
Just going in between the 

300
00:15:07,000 --> 00:15:09,100
machines, hoping not to get 
stamped by one of them 

301
00:15:09,500 --> 00:15:12,200
impressive. 
They got someone good with a 

302
00:15:12,200 --> 00:15:22,900
drone here I really think so The
Tesla gigafactory is in their 

303
00:15:22,900 --> 00:15:26,300
manufacturing process is 
legitimately incredible and I 

304
00:15:26,300 --> 00:15:29,000
know why they would want to show
this off because it's incredibly

305
00:15:29,000 --> 00:15:31,400
impressive to show what they've 
done and what they've 

306
00:15:31,400 --> 00:15:33,600
accomplished. 
But again the question here is 

307
00:15:33,600 --> 00:15:36,900
not if Tesla's impressive but if
it's different than a car 

308
00:15:36,900 --> 00:15:40,300
company, let's go ahead and look
at another Factory. 

309
00:15:40,400 --> 00:15:57,800
This one happens to be by Ford. 
This is a walkthrough of a Ford 

310
00:15:57,800 --> 00:16:01,500
factory by the YouTuber 
jerryrigeverything and they 

311
00:16:01,500 --> 00:16:03,700
invited him in. 
They don't have a fancy drone 

312
00:16:03,800 --> 00:16:06,300
with an incredibly skilled pilot
for that drone. 

313
00:16:06,600 --> 00:16:08,500
But rather they just walked 
through and he filmed some of 

314
00:16:08,500 --> 00:16:11,200
the process here. 
Now it looks like Ford has like 

315
00:16:11,200 --> 00:16:12,700
a different color scheme of 
hair. 

316
00:16:12,700 --> 00:16:15,700
A lot of it is this yellow and 
orange but if you look at the 

317
00:16:15,700 --> 00:16:18,000
robotics I think it's I think 
it's pretty neat. 

318
00:16:18,000 --> 00:16:22,000
What Ford was able to do? 
They have similar to Tesla these

319
00:16:22,000 --> 00:16:26,000
gigantic hydraulic robots 
Basically assembling every 

320
00:16:26,000 --> 00:16:29,700
single aspect of the car. 
In fact, watching this entire 

321
00:16:29,700 --> 00:16:32,600
video, you realize how little 
humans are doing now. 

322
00:16:32,700 --> 00:16:35,700
Now not only does it actually 
assemble it and build it, but he

323
00:16:35,708 --> 00:16:38,100
goes on to describe how this 
little robot hair with that 

324
00:16:38,100 --> 00:16:41,100
camera goes around and takes 
pictures of all the different 

325
00:16:41,100 --> 00:16:44,500
parts of the truck to make sure 
that every single component is 

326
00:16:44,500 --> 00:16:47,500
in the exact right spot. 
If it's off by 1 cm, they'll 

327
00:16:47,500 --> 00:16:50,600
have a human common inspected 
and look at what's going wrong 

328
00:16:50,600 --> 00:16:53,500
with it, because they can 
actually do the checking with 

329
00:16:53,500 --> 00:16:56,300
robots and cameras. 
Then they move it, the move it 

330
00:16:56,300 --> 00:16:59,600
along with this big robot here, 
that basically Scoops. 

331
00:16:59,600 --> 00:17:02,800
The truck up and moves it along 
and it goes through the assembly

332
00:17:02,800 --> 00:17:06,599
process, humans, do part of it. 
They just make sure the robots 

333
00:17:06,599 --> 00:17:09,099
are doing their jobs. 
The humans do very little in and

334
00:17:09,099 --> 00:17:12,099
of themselves and this is the 
process. 

335
00:17:12,500 --> 00:17:16,500
When I looked through Tesla's, 
gigafactory, I think it is 

336
00:17:16,500 --> 00:17:19,200
incredibly impressive, but then 
I looked through Ford's 

337
00:17:19,200 --> 00:17:21,700
factories and I think, again, 
they're incredibly impressive. 

338
00:17:21,900 --> 00:17:23,599
And I think you should do the 
same, especially if you're a 

339
00:17:23,608 --> 00:17:25,800
Tesla. 
Take a look at this video from 

340
00:17:25,800 --> 00:17:27,599
jerryrigeverything. 
I'll put it in the description 

341
00:17:27,599 --> 00:17:29,200
of this video. 
Watch the whole thing. 

342
00:17:29,200 --> 00:17:32,600
It shows the entire process 
beginning to end and almost 

343
00:17:32,600 --> 00:17:35,900
everything is done by robots. 
They eventually test the truck 

344
00:17:35,900 --> 00:17:38,400
and case it has any leaks and 
any part of it. 

345
00:17:38,600 --> 00:17:41,100
They actually spray it down with
water just to make sure no Park 

346
00:17:41,100 --> 00:17:43,400
gets wet. 
And then after a test drive by 

347
00:17:43,400 --> 00:17:46,000
an employee, that's when it's 
finally good to go. 

348
00:17:46,000 --> 00:17:49,300
It's cleaned off and you have 
the Ford electric truck there. 

349
00:17:49,300 --> 00:17:51,700
So when I look at Ford's 
manufacturing process and I see 

350
00:17:51,700 --> 00:17:54,200
that it's also very impressive 
and almost entirely done. 

351
00:17:54,300 --> 00:17:57,400
By robots. 
I asked the question is Tesla 

352
00:17:57,400 --> 00:18:00,200
that much different than Ford 
even in the manufacturing 

353
00:18:00,200 --> 00:18:03,300
process. 
Now I'm no manufacturing expert.

354
00:18:03,300 --> 00:18:05,100
Maybe there's some differences, 
I'm missing. 

355
00:18:05,400 --> 00:18:07,600
But when I look at both, the 
factories and the walkthroughs 

356
00:18:07,600 --> 00:18:10,400
of both of them, it looks like 
almost everything in both 

357
00:18:10,400 --> 00:18:13,400
factories is being done by 
robots, completely automated. 

358
00:18:13,700 --> 00:18:16,700
And the big idea here, that 
Tesla's entirely different than 

359
00:18:16,700 --> 00:18:18,700
Ford because of the 
manufacturing process. 

360
00:18:19,300 --> 00:18:20,900
I don't know. 
Again, it's something that I 

361
00:18:20,900 --> 00:18:23,100
think is a little risky. 
I don't know how different they 

362
00:18:23,100 --> 00:18:25,300
really are to me. 
Look very similar. 

363
00:18:25,400 --> 00:18:28,600
So we have the thesis part 1 
Tesla is different than a car 

364
00:18:28,600 --> 00:18:30,600
company because it has unlimited
demand. 

365
00:18:30,900 --> 00:18:32,600
I don't really think that's the 
case. 

366
00:18:32,600 --> 00:18:34,700
I think we're seeing that 
Tesla's, more similar to other 

367
00:18:34,700 --> 00:18:37,700
car companies with limitations 
to demand and economic 

368
00:18:37,700 --> 00:18:40,300
sensitivity. 
Then we have thesis part to 

369
00:18:40,700 --> 00:18:43,100
Teslas different because of its 
manufacturing prowess. 

370
00:18:43,400 --> 00:18:45,800
Again, I'm not really seeing a 
huge difference there. 

371
00:18:45,800 --> 00:18:48,500
Maybe I'm missing something but 
they look very similar to me. 

372
00:18:48,900 --> 00:18:52,700
Let's move on to Tesla thesis 
part 3, full self-driving 

373
00:18:52,900 --> 00:18:55,500
Tesla's, a tech company. 
Penny and not a car company 

374
00:18:55,600 --> 00:18:58,400
because of its Advanced full 
self driving and the 

375
00:18:58,400 --> 00:19:02,600
availability the capability of 
their cars to be upgraded even 

376
00:19:02,600 --> 00:19:04,900
after you buy them. 
So let's take a look together at

377
00:19:04,900 --> 00:19:07,100
the full self driving. 
This is something that really 

378
00:19:07,100 --> 00:19:09,600
would separate Tesla from any 
other car company. 

379
00:19:09,800 --> 00:19:12,900
Now, luckily through the magic 
of YouTube, we have some content

380
00:19:12,900 --> 00:19:16,000
in some video footage on this as
well, for Marcus Brown's 

381
00:19:16,000 --> 00:19:17,800
Channel. 
It's a Great Tech reviewer. 

382
00:19:18,500 --> 00:19:21,600
One of the most popular ones, 
but he actually did a full 

383
00:19:21,600 --> 00:19:24,200
self-driving, full drive like a 
20-minute. 

384
00:19:24,300 --> 00:19:28,200
Plus drive on his way from his 
home to work where he films in 

385
00:19:28,208 --> 00:19:32,300
his studio and I really liked 
him doing this because I think 

386
00:19:32,300 --> 00:19:34,900
that he gave a very transparent 
honest review of this. 

387
00:19:34,900 --> 00:19:37,500
I thought it was very 
straightforward and he describes

388
00:19:37,500 --> 00:19:40,200
the pros and cons of it. 
Now this is him on the freeway 

389
00:19:40,200 --> 00:19:43,300
and he says that the best part 
of full self-driving, where it 

390
00:19:43,300 --> 00:19:45,800
has it down? 
Best is on the freeway but he 

391
00:19:45,808 --> 00:19:49,500
still describes the challenges 
with full self-driving, get 

392
00:19:49,500 --> 00:19:50,900
stressful. 
I'm going to show you actually 

393
00:19:50,900 --> 00:19:53,400
what it's showing me on the 
screen which is its kind of 

394
00:19:53,408 --> 00:19:54,800
picking a spot. 
Right now. 

395
00:19:55,100 --> 00:19:58,600
Wow, that is assertive. 
That was in assertive move right

396
00:19:58,600 --> 00:20:01,900
there, okay? 
That qualifies as assertive. 

397
00:20:02,400 --> 00:20:04,400
So he's saying it's assertive 
Tesla. 

398
00:20:04,700 --> 00:20:06,800
It was trying to get into the 
slain it needed to. 

399
00:20:06,800 --> 00:20:09,900
So it really cut in and front of
someone a very assertive move. 

400
00:20:10,000 --> 00:20:11,400
So it goes through this drive 
narrating. 

401
00:20:11,400 --> 00:20:16,100
It and Marcus says repeatedly 
that right now full self-driving

402
00:20:16,100 --> 00:20:19,300
would not be able to make this 
drive without his interaction, 

403
00:20:19,300 --> 00:20:21,300
with out him watching the 
vehicle. 

404
00:20:21,500 --> 00:20:23,800
So even though it's called Full 
self-driving, that's the label 

405
00:20:23,800 --> 00:20:25,500
of it. 
It's not really full 

406
00:20:25,500 --> 00:20:28,400
self-driving. 
It's more like a helpful tool to

407
00:20:28,400 --> 00:20:31,200
drive but you still have to be 
on guard watching the car in 

408
00:20:31,200 --> 00:20:33,600
case it screws up. 
In fact in one part here that 

409
00:20:33,600 --> 00:20:36,900
we're going to watch this is 
where he had actually interject 

410
00:20:36,900 --> 00:20:39,400
and take over the car because it
was about to do something. 

411
00:20:39,600 --> 00:20:41,400
He didn't want it to do 
something that would not have 

412
00:20:41,408 --> 00:20:46,600
been good which is like 2 to 5 
and then 5 to 2. 

413
00:20:47,300 --> 00:20:50,100
Now it's gone. 
This is not going to work. 

414
00:20:50,100 --> 00:20:53,100
If it doesn't see that it's yet 
their Zone here. 

415
00:20:53,100 --> 00:20:54,000
It's not hard. 
Is it strong? 

416
00:20:54,200 --> 00:20:57,300
Yeah, I'm taking over so, that 
was bad. 

417
00:20:57,700 --> 00:21:00,600
There's a cone over there. 
I took over and I also need to 

418
00:21:00,600 --> 00:21:03,700
be back over to the right, which
this car didn't. 

419
00:21:03,800 --> 00:21:06,400
Now he's having to cut like 
across the utilization. 

420
00:21:06,400 --> 00:21:09,000
Is the second link here. 
So I'm going to go back into the

421
00:21:09,000 --> 00:21:12,700
correct Lane here. 
Now again I'm not trying to bash

422
00:21:12,700 --> 00:21:15,000
full self-driving. 
What they've accomplished so far

423
00:21:15,000 --> 00:21:18,400
is amazing, but this really 
isn't full self-driving. 

424
00:21:18,500 --> 00:21:21,500
He has to be on guard and on 
watch the entire time. 

425
00:21:21,500 --> 00:21:24,600
He's making this drive and in 
some cases what I've heard from 

426
00:21:24,600 --> 00:21:27,500
feedback from people, I know 
personally that own Tesla's have

427
00:21:27,500 --> 00:21:30,700
a couple friends and people that
I work with the onnum, they say 

428
00:21:30,700 --> 00:21:34,600
that in some cases full self 
driving from Tesla, is almost 

429
00:21:34,600 --> 00:21:36,600
more stressful than just driving
yourself. 

430
00:21:36,800 --> 00:21:38,700
It's almost like having a 
student driver. 

431
00:21:39,000 --> 00:21:40,800
It gets it, right? 
And most cases. 

432
00:21:40,900 --> 00:21:43,200
But you still have to be on 
guard, you have to be ready to 

433
00:21:43,200 --> 00:21:45,300
take over the steering wheel 
because they might make a dumb 

434
00:21:45,300 --> 00:21:48,900
choice and so you're almost on 
more guard and more stressed out

435
00:21:48,900 --> 00:21:50,300
than if you're just driving 
yourself. 

436
00:21:50,500 --> 00:21:52,800
That's the feedback that I've 
often received. 

437
00:21:53,000 --> 00:21:56,100
In either case, Tesla does not 
have full self-driving. 

438
00:21:56,300 --> 00:21:58,700
Full self-driving would mean 
that you can punch in a 

439
00:21:58,700 --> 00:22:02,400
location, you can recline in 
your chair, close your eyes, or 

440
00:22:02,400 --> 00:22:05,000
you can recline and watch 
YouTube or Netflix, and not even

441
00:22:05,000 --> 00:22:07,500
worry about the road. 
That's the true definition of 

442
00:22:07,500 --> 00:22:10,200
full self-driving. 
Tesla simply isn't there in 

443
00:22:10,200 --> 00:22:13,100
fact, because The term full 
self-driving is a bit of a 

444
00:22:13,100 --> 00:22:15,200
misnomer, it's kind of an 
overstatement for its 

445
00:22:15,200 --> 00:22:17,900
capabilities. 
California has outright banned 

446
00:22:17,900 --> 00:22:21,700
Tesla from calling it, full 
self-driving saying they cannot 

447
00:22:21,700 --> 00:22:25,500
sell it under that label anymore
and that's one of their biggest 

448
00:22:25,500 --> 00:22:27,600
markets. 
So the full self driving aspect 

449
00:22:27,600 --> 00:22:30,600
of Tesla is cool. 
I think it's very impressive, 

450
00:22:30,800 --> 00:22:32,900
but I don't think it's a home 
run right now. 

451
00:22:32,900 --> 00:22:36,000
It's not gotten to the last step
of being, totally fully 

452
00:22:36,000 --> 00:22:38,900
autonomous and not having anyone
have to interact as it's 

453
00:22:38,900 --> 00:22:40,500
driving. 
And at the same time, again, if 

454
00:22:40,500 --> 00:22:42,300
we're asking. 
The question between the Tesla 

455
00:22:42,300 --> 00:22:45,200
and different Vehicles. 
A lot of vehicles can Aid 

456
00:22:45,200 --> 00:22:48,900
drivers on the freeway, just 
like the strongest point of full

457
00:22:48,900 --> 00:22:51,300
self-driving. 
There's many cars now that have 

458
00:22:51,300 --> 00:22:53,900
cameras and sensors and they 
realign trucks. 

459
00:22:53,900 --> 00:22:55,900
They rely on cars. 
If they're starting to go off 

460
00:22:55,900 --> 00:22:57,800
the road, they warned about 
trucks. 

461
00:22:58,100 --> 00:22:59,400
They'll automatically press the 
brake. 

462
00:22:59,400 --> 00:23:02,300
If you get too close to another 
car, I've actually seen that 

463
00:23:02,300 --> 00:23:05,100
happen. 
We're a non Tesla vehicle slams.

464
00:23:05,100 --> 00:23:07,000
The brakes because a car in 
front of it is getting too 

465
00:23:07,000 --> 00:23:08,500
close. 
Now this probably is not as 

466
00:23:08,500 --> 00:23:12,200
advanced as Tesla by any means 
but it is Their cars outside of 

467
00:23:12,200 --> 00:23:14,600
Tesla's are doing some of these 
functions. 

468
00:23:14,600 --> 00:23:17,600
Now, again, the problem for 
Tesla right now is that, if it's

469
00:23:17,600 --> 00:23:20,500
not full self-driving than it's 
something other than full 

470
00:23:20,500 --> 00:23:24,600
self-driving and that has huge 
implications, Tesla cannot run a

471
00:23:24,600 --> 00:23:27,900
robo taxi Network, they can't 
have the massive economics, 

472
00:23:27,900 --> 00:23:31,200
implied in a lot of valuations, 
unless they get to that end 

473
00:23:31,200 --> 00:23:34,300
point where they really have 
fully autonomous full self 

474
00:23:34,300 --> 00:23:36,500
driving at the same time, 
there's been a lot of 

475
00:23:36,508 --> 00:23:38,600
predictions. 
A lot of promises from Elon Musk

476
00:23:38,600 --> 00:23:40,100
at this is right around the 
corner. 

477
00:23:40,400 --> 00:23:46,100
This is Back in 2014 next year 
we'll probably be 90% capable of

478
00:23:46,100 --> 00:23:47,800
autopilot. 
Like so 90s, the model S and 

479
00:23:47,800 --> 00:23:50,100
model X. 
At this point, I can drive 

480
00:23:50,100 --> 00:23:52,400
autonomously with greater safety
than a person. 

481
00:23:52,800 --> 00:23:55,800
Right now, we're still on track 
for being able to go 

482
00:23:56,400 --> 00:23:59,000
cross-country from LA to New 
York by the end of the year 

483
00:23:59,000 --> 00:24:02,800
fully autonomous. 
But next year for sure We'll 

484
00:24:02,800 --> 00:24:05,800
have over a million Robo taxis 
on the road, I'm extremely 

485
00:24:05,800 --> 00:24:10,800
confident of achieving full 
autonomy and releasing it to the

486
00:24:10,800 --> 00:24:14,300
Tesla customer base. 
Next year, Tesla will solve 

487
00:24:14,300 --> 00:24:19,500
level for FSD, okay? 
It's looking quite likely that 

488
00:24:19,500 --> 00:24:21,800
it will be next year. 
So Elon Musk has been making 

489
00:24:21,800 --> 00:24:23,900
these repeated promises a full 
self-driving. 

490
00:24:23,900 --> 00:24:26,700
Going back all the way to 2014 
every year. 

491
00:24:26,700 --> 00:24:29,600
It's a year down the road or by 
the end of this year. 

492
00:24:29,800 --> 00:24:31,400
They're going to make the next 
big break. 

493
00:24:31,600 --> 00:24:34,800
Through with full self driving. 
Here we are in 2022. 

494
00:24:35,000 --> 00:24:39,300
Almost in 2023, we have Marcus 
Brownlee driving his Tesla. 20 

495
00:24:39,300 --> 00:24:42,000
minutes from his house to work, 
and you have to take over the 

496
00:24:42,000 --> 00:24:44,900
vehicle twice, two times in 20 
minutes. 

497
00:24:45,400 --> 00:24:47,200
That's not close to full 
self-driving. 

498
00:24:47,500 --> 00:24:50,000
It's impressive but it's not 
full self driving. 

499
00:24:50,000 --> 00:24:52,600
Now, maybe he'll get it right 
next year and that'll be the 

500
00:24:52,600 --> 00:24:54,800
year that it actually has full 
self-driving. 

501
00:24:55,100 --> 00:24:59,000
But as of right now with the 
data that we have people drive 

502
00:24:59,000 --> 00:25:03,300
Tesla's, not the car, the card, 
Not drive itself and people 

503
00:25:03,300 --> 00:25:05,800
drive forwards. 
They drive Ford trucks. 

504
00:25:06,100 --> 00:25:08,800
In both cases, people are 
driving the vehicles. 

505
00:25:08,800 --> 00:25:10,800
People have their hands on the 
steering wheels. 

506
00:25:11,100 --> 00:25:13,400
People are breaking. 
People are looking through the 

507
00:25:13,400 --> 00:25:16,400
windshield and making judgment 
calls and even if the Tesla can 

508
00:25:16,400 --> 00:25:19,500
do some things to Aid in the 
driving, it's still people that 

509
00:25:19,500 --> 00:25:22,300
have to be watching over it. 
There are legally mandated to 

510
00:25:22,300 --> 00:25:24,400
make that happen. 
So again, looking back on all of

511
00:25:24,400 --> 00:25:26,300
this, I'm not trying to bash 
Tesla. 

512
00:25:26,300 --> 00:25:29,000
That's not my goal here. 
I think it's an amazing company 

513
00:25:29,000 --> 00:25:31,000
and I think it's incredible what
they've accomplished. 

514
00:25:31,000 --> 00:25:33,700
I'm glad The company exists. 
But when you're paying for a 

515
00:25:33,700 --> 00:25:38,000
stock, you're paying a price a 
set price for the market cap. 

516
00:25:38,100 --> 00:25:42,100
Right now, Tesla's at 350 
billion dollar company and a lot

517
00:25:42,100 --> 00:25:45,600
of the thesis surrounding the 
implied market cap. 

518
00:25:45,600 --> 00:25:48,700
And these huge predictions about
a multi-trillion dollar company 

519
00:25:49,000 --> 00:25:50,700
or an Elon. 
Musk's words, the biggest 

520
00:25:50,700 --> 00:25:53,300
company in the world. 
I think it's difficult to get 

521
00:25:53,300 --> 00:25:55,100
behind it. 
At least for me I don't see 

522
00:25:55,100 --> 00:25:58,600
Tesla's having unlimited demand.
I see them being affected by 

523
00:25:58,600 --> 00:26:00,900
interest rates and being 
sensitive to the economy. 

524
00:26:01,200 --> 00:26:04,700
I See Tesla's, manufacturing 
process is all that different 

525
00:26:04,700 --> 00:26:06,400
than competitors. 
I don't see. 

526
00:26:06,400 --> 00:26:09,400
Full self-driving is really 
being full self-driving. 

527
00:26:09,700 --> 00:26:12,600
I see it as something cool but 
it's not autonomous driving 

528
00:26:12,600 --> 00:26:15,000
quite yet. 
And I think the company's 

529
00:26:15,000 --> 00:26:18,000
valuation implies something that
I'm not seeing what the 

530
00:26:18,000 --> 00:26:21,300
fundamentals of the company. 
And if Tesla is a tech company, 

531
00:26:21,600 --> 00:26:24,100
we can compare it from not even 
car companies, but we can 

532
00:26:24,100 --> 00:26:25,700
compare it to other tech 
companies. 

533
00:26:25,900 --> 00:26:29,200
Let's compare Tesla to Adobe, 
for example, Adobe trades at a 

534
00:26:29,208 --> 00:26:33,400
cheaper price based on next 
year's, PE ratio even if Tesla 

535
00:26:33,400 --> 00:26:36,000
outperforms and does five 
dollars in earnings per share 

536
00:26:36,000 --> 00:26:40,300
next year, hire the most 
analysts, expectations, Adobe 

537
00:26:40,300 --> 00:26:42,700
still cheaper. 
It's still trades at a lower PE 

538
00:26:42,700 --> 00:26:44,800
ratio. 
Adobe has a much higher free 

539
00:26:44,800 --> 00:26:47,100
cash flow yield. 
So for the price, you're paying 

540
00:26:47,100 --> 00:26:49,000
for the market cap, you're 
getting a lot more actual free 

541
00:26:49,000 --> 00:26:52,200
cash. 
Flows Adobe has incredibly fast 

542
00:26:52,200 --> 00:26:55,100
growing Revenue. 
Very Tesla like Revenue. 

543
00:26:55,400 --> 00:26:56,900
But the difference is is 
adobe's. 

544
00:26:56,900 --> 00:26:59,000
Revenue is almost entirely 
reoccurring. 

545
00:26:59,100 --> 00:27:02,000
It's almost all 
subscription-based test Is off 

546
00:27:02,000 --> 00:27:05,400
of large, lumpy sales of 
vehicles, which are difficult to

547
00:27:05,400 --> 00:27:09,000
sell during economic slowness. 
We have adobe's free, cash flow,

548
00:27:09,400 --> 00:27:11,300
credibly good. 
Hi free cash. 

549
00:27:11,300 --> 00:27:14,800
Flow growth and low amounts of 
stock-based compensation similar

550
00:27:14,800 --> 00:27:18,200
to Tesla, but again, very good, 
free cash flow growth. 

551
00:27:18,200 --> 00:27:20,400
While being subscription-based 
and not. 

552
00:27:20,400 --> 00:27:23,000
Having as much cyclicality, 
Adobe has been doing, share 

553
00:27:23,000 --> 00:27:25,600
BuyBacks while Tesla has been 
diluting the shareholder. 

554
00:27:25,600 --> 00:27:28,000
Issuing more shares. 
Adobe has higher Returns on 

555
00:27:28,000 --> 00:27:31,400
Capital employed by quite a bit 
Dobby has higher gross. 

556
00:27:31,500 --> 00:27:35,000
Ian's Dobby has higher operating
margins, Adobe has higher profit

557
00:27:35,000 --> 00:27:38,000
margins, all across the board, 
and they're very consistent 

558
00:27:38,100 --> 00:27:40,600
because, again, it's a 
subscription tech company 

559
00:27:40,700 --> 00:27:43,000
selling software. 
So I don't know what I'm missing

560
00:27:43,000 --> 00:27:44,300
here. 
But when I look at this, I'd 

561
00:27:44,300 --> 00:27:46,200
rather just buy something like 
Adobe. 

562
00:27:46,400 --> 00:27:48,800
Then something like Tesla. 
That's my thoughts for now. 

563
00:27:48,800 --> 00:27:50,800
I hope you enjoyed the video. 
Let me know what you think. 

564
00:27:50,800 --> 00:27:33,100
