1
00:00:08,680 --> 00:00:11,360
I I declare this meeting is now 
closed. 

2
00:00:11,760 --> 00:00:43,120
Elon Musk. 
Thanks guys. 

3
00:00:43,760 --> 00:00:46,240
First of all, I'd like to just 
give a heartfelt thanks to 

4
00:00:46,960 --> 00:00:49,400
everyone who supported the, the 
shareholder votes. 

5
00:00:50,480 --> 00:00:53,960
I super appreciate it. 
Thank you everyone. 

6
00:00:55,800 --> 00:00:59,360
I'd like to take thank the, the 
Tesla board for their immense 

7
00:00:59,360 --> 00:01:01,280
support. 
We have a fantastic board, 

8
00:01:01,560 --> 00:01:04,519
fantastic group of shareholders.
Thank you all. 

9
00:01:07,000 --> 00:01:11,480
And, and, and what we're about 
to embark upon is not merely a 

10
00:01:11,600 --> 00:01:15,480
new chapter of the future of 
Tesla, but a whole new book. 

11
00:01:17,160 --> 00:01:18,280
And I'm going to talk about 
that. 

12
00:01:20,520 --> 00:01:25,400
So this, this really is, this 
really is going to be quite the 

13
00:01:25,400 --> 00:01:29,640
story. 
And optimist is a fundamental 

14
00:01:29,640 --> 00:01:33,280
part of that. 
The, the, the sheer scale of 

15
00:01:33,280 --> 00:01:38,000
optimists. 
I mean, I'm going to say a bunch

16
00:01:38,000 --> 00:01:45,480
of things that probably I 
shouldn't say, you know, but but

17
00:01:45,720 --> 00:01:47,160
but that's what keeps it 
interesting. 

18
00:01:48,680 --> 00:01:51,720
I mean, have you have you 
watched any other annual 

19
00:01:51,720 --> 00:01:55,680
shareholder meeting? 
I mean, honestly, it was like, I

20
00:01:55,680 --> 00:01:57,560
mean, if you need to go to 
sleep, sure. 

21
00:01:57,560 --> 00:02:01,600
I mean, that other shareholder 
meetings are like snooze fest. 

22
00:02:01,640 --> 00:02:03,480
I mean, but ours, ours are 
bangers. 

23
00:02:03,480 --> 00:02:04,880
I mean, look at this. 
This is sick. 

24
00:02:10,240 --> 00:02:13,280
And we got like the the 
cyberpunk nightclub here with 

25
00:02:13,400 --> 00:02:18,480
real robots just standing there 
and mulling around and dancing 

26
00:02:19,440 --> 00:02:23,800
And in a round out our 
engineering headquarters in Palo

27
00:02:23,800 --> 00:02:27,640
Alto, the robots just walking 
around the office 24/7 with no 

28
00:02:27,640 --> 00:02:29,720
one minding them. 
They just and then they go 

29
00:02:29,720 --> 00:02:36,240
charge themselves. 
And yeah, so the, the, the scale

30
00:02:36,240 --> 00:02:39,360
of, of, of optimists, I like I 
said, that's really going to be 

31
00:02:39,360 --> 00:02:42,720
something else. 
I think it's going to be the 

32
00:02:42,720 --> 00:02:45,960
biggest product of all time by 
far. 

33
00:02:47,520 --> 00:02:54,360
Yeah. 
So like bigger than cell phones,

34
00:02:54,360 --> 00:02:58,440
bigger than anything. 
I guess the way to think about 

35
00:02:58,440 --> 00:03:02,520
it is that every human on Earth 
is going to want to have their 

36
00:03:02,520 --> 00:03:09,000
own personal R2D2C3PO. 
So who wouldn't? 

37
00:03:10,280 --> 00:03:12,160
But actually Optimus will be 
even better than them. 

38
00:03:12,640 --> 00:03:15,880
You know, like, you know, RTD to
you, it's kind of beep at you 

39
00:03:15,880 --> 00:03:18,160
and it's kind of hard to figure 
out what he's got talking about.

40
00:03:19,840 --> 00:03:23,440
You know, you can see 3PO to 
translate, but Optimus is going 

41
00:03:23,440 --> 00:03:27,800
to be like everyone's going to 
want one. 

42
00:03:27,800 --> 00:03:32,080
I think within terms of industry
providing products and services,

43
00:03:32,640 --> 00:03:36,600
I think it's probably, I don't 
know, three to five robots in 

44
00:03:36,600 --> 00:03:39,840
industry for every, you know, 
one that's a personal robot. 

45
00:03:40,320 --> 00:03:44,880
I, I think there could be 10s of
billions of, of optimist robots 

46
00:03:44,880 --> 00:03:48,560
out there now. 
Obviously it's very important we

47
00:03:48,960 --> 00:03:53,320
pay close attention to safety 
here because we, we do, we do 

48
00:03:53,320 --> 00:03:58,400
want the, the, the Star Wars 
movie, not the Jim Cameron 

49
00:03:58,400 --> 00:04:02,720
movie. 
I love Jim Cameron's movies, but

50
00:04:03,360 --> 00:04:17,720
you know, you know what I mean? 
So yeah, yeah. 

51
00:04:17,720 --> 00:04:23,920
So, so we're, we're going to 
launch on the, the fastest 

52
00:04:24,080 --> 00:04:28,120
production ramp of of any 
product of any large complex 

53
00:04:28,120 --> 00:04:34,440
manufactured product ever and 
starting with building 1,000,000

54
00:04:34,440 --> 00:04:38,000
unit production line in, in 
Fremont. 

55
00:04:39,560 --> 00:04:42,480
And that's, that's, that's line 
1. 

56
00:04:43,880 --> 00:04:48,680
And then a 10 million unit per 
year production line here on the

57
00:04:48,720 --> 00:04:58,480
I don't know where we're going 
to put the 100 million unit 

58
00:04:58,480 --> 00:05:03,360
production line maybe on Mars, I
don't know. 

59
00:05:04,800 --> 00:05:08,520
But, but I think it's, it's 
going to literally get to 100 

60
00:05:08,520 --> 00:05:10,960
million a year, maybe even a 
billion a year. 

61
00:05:12,720 --> 00:05:19,080
And you know, people often talk 
about like eliminating poverty, 

62
00:05:19,080 --> 00:05:22,240
giving everyone amazing medical 
care. 

63
00:05:23,080 --> 00:05:25,720
Well, there's actually only one 
way to do that, and that's with 

64
00:05:26,640 --> 00:05:29,840
the Optimist robot. 
With, with humanoid robots, you 

65
00:05:29,840 --> 00:05:33,480
can actually give everyone 
amazing medical care. 

66
00:05:34,840 --> 00:05:41,360
So in terms of optimists will be
more precise, optimists will 

67
00:05:41,360 --> 00:05:44,200
ultimately be better than the 
best human surgeon with a level 

68
00:05:44,200 --> 00:05:47,400
of precision that that isn't 
possible, that that is beyond 

69
00:05:47,400 --> 00:05:51,400
human. 
So I think that's that's a 

70
00:05:51,400 --> 00:05:55,560
pretty wild concept to say, OK, 
if you, you know, there's all 

71
00:05:56,120 --> 00:05:58,440
people always talked about 
eliminating poverty, but 

72
00:05:58,760 --> 00:06:02,000
actually optimists will actually
eliminate poverty. 

73
00:06:02,320 --> 00:06:05,080
Optimists will actually give 
people incredible medical care. 

74
00:06:14,080 --> 00:06:20,480
So I mean, and so you start 
getting like sort of some pretty

75
00:06:20,480 --> 00:06:29,440
wild sci-fi sort of scenarios 
where in some of these things I 

76
00:06:29,440 --> 00:06:32,160
say will always be taken out of 
context and using snippets and, 

77
00:06:32,320 --> 00:06:33,520
you know, center output, 
whatever. 

78
00:06:33,520 --> 00:06:36,240
I was only going to say, you 
know, like, I think we might, 

79
00:06:36,240 --> 00:06:40,200
may be able to give people a 
more if somebody's committed 

80
00:06:40,200 --> 00:06:44,800
crime, a more humane form of 
containment of future crime, 

81
00:06:45,240 --> 00:06:49,760
which is if if you, if you say, 
like you now get, you now get a 

82
00:06:49,760 --> 00:06:52,040
free optimist and it's just 
going to follow you around and 

83
00:06:52,040 --> 00:06:56,880
stop you from doing crime. 
But other than that, you get to 

84
00:06:56,880 --> 00:07:00,040
do anything just it's just going
to stop you from committing 

85
00:07:00,040 --> 00:07:01,200
crime. 
That's, that's really it. 

86
00:07:03,000 --> 00:07:05,160
You know, you don't have to put 
people in like prisons and 

87
00:07:05,160 --> 00:07:07,040
stuff. 
I think it's pretty wild to 

88
00:07:07,040 --> 00:07:10,000
think of the various of all the 
possibilities, but I think it's 

89
00:07:10,640 --> 00:07:12,440
it's clear it's clearly the 
future. 

90
00:07:14,520 --> 00:07:20,120
And you know, my book 
recommendation for the maybe the

91
00:07:20,120 --> 00:07:24,960
best mostly utopian sci-fi 
future are the N Banks books, 

92
00:07:24,960 --> 00:07:27,440
the culture books. 
So if you're curious, like what 

93
00:07:27,440 --> 00:07:28,920
what do I think the future is 
probably like? 

94
00:07:28,920 --> 00:07:35,200
I think it's probably a bit like
that or, you know, as mob to 

95
00:07:35,200 --> 00:07:37,920
some degree. 
But but but I think it's and 

96
00:07:37,920 --> 00:07:42,960
Heinlein, but in banks, if if 
you're like saying what, what, 

97
00:07:42,960 --> 00:07:46,000
what, what does Elon think the 
future probably will be like for

98
00:07:46,240 --> 00:07:55,880
AI and robots? 
It's kind of banks in so now 

99
00:07:56,040 --> 00:07:59,240
and, and, and things do get kind
of wild from an economic 

100
00:07:59,240 --> 00:08:07,240
standpoint, because at a certain
point with AI and robotics, you 

101
00:08:07,240 --> 00:08:11,280
can actually increase the global
economy by a factor of 10 or 

102
00:08:11,280 --> 00:08:14,640
maybe 100. 
There's there's not like an 

103
00:08:14,640 --> 00:08:22,120
obvious limit. 
So like, optimist is kind of 

104
00:08:22,120 --> 00:08:29,520
like an infinite money glitch, 
you know, and maybe they won't 

105
00:08:29,520 --> 00:08:34,960
even be money in the future or 
money, but it might be measured 

106
00:08:34,960 --> 00:08:39,679
in terms of wattage, like how 
much, you know, power can you 

107
00:08:39,679 --> 00:08:42,159
bring to bear from an electrical
standpoint. 

108
00:08:44,880 --> 00:08:49,160
So I guess what I'm saying is 
hang on to your Tesla stock. 

109
00:08:59,610 --> 00:09:06,770
So yeah, man, it's pretty wild. 
You're welcome. 

110
00:09:08,720 --> 00:09:10,400
Let's see, I think we got some 
slides to go through. 

111
00:09:12,760 --> 00:09:14,200
We see ad Lib a lot of this 
stuff. 

112
00:09:14,200 --> 00:09:21,840
But so the, the, you know, when 
we started Tesla, the, the, the 

113
00:09:21,840 --> 00:09:25,680
goal was to accelerate the 
advent of sustainable energy and

114
00:09:25,680 --> 00:09:29,840
that is that's what we've done. 
I mean, Tesla has really led the

115
00:09:29,840 --> 00:09:33,120
way in with, with electric 
vehicles, with battery packs, 

116
00:09:33,560 --> 00:09:37,040
with a lot of solar. 
And many other companies have 

117
00:09:37,360 --> 00:09:39,080
then followed our lead and done 
that. 

118
00:09:39,440 --> 00:09:43,920
And electric cars which used to 
be non existent are now 

119
00:09:43,920 --> 00:09:48,320
prevalent. 
And, and the Model Y, for 

120
00:09:48,320 --> 00:09:51,480
example, is the number one 
selling car of any kind on 

121
00:09:51,480 --> 00:10:04,170
earth. 
But obviously now with, with AI 

122
00:10:04,170 --> 00:10:10,200
and robotics, we need to update 
our mission and our mission. 

123
00:10:11,120 --> 00:10:13,680
I think it's good. 
It's, it's, it's, it's a great 

124
00:10:13,680 --> 00:10:18,120
mission, which is to achieve 
sustainable abundance, which is,

125
00:10:18,720 --> 00:10:21,720
it's like, because I often ask 
people like, what is the future 

126
00:10:21,720 --> 00:10:24,600
that you want? 
What's the best future you can 

127
00:10:24,600 --> 00:10:27,880
imagine? 
You know, because we want to try

128
00:10:27,880 --> 00:10:30,840
to make that future, like make 
the best future you can imagine.

129
00:10:31,680 --> 00:10:38,000
And, and I guess probably the 
best future is if people, you 

130
00:10:38,000 --> 00:10:39,960
know, can have whatever they 
want from a goods and services 

131
00:10:39,960 --> 00:10:41,760
standpoint or medical 
standpoint. 

132
00:10:43,320 --> 00:10:47,800
And, but at the same time, we, 
we don't destroy nature and we, 

133
00:10:47,800 --> 00:10:50,200
we keep the rainforests and the,
the, the beautiful national 

134
00:10:50,200 --> 00:10:52,040
parks and, and all the, all that
stuff. 

135
00:10:52,360 --> 00:10:55,080
And so that's, that's what I 
mean by sustainable abundance, 

136
00:10:56,360 --> 00:10:59,920
is that people, you know, can 
have whatever they want, have 

137
00:10:59,920 --> 00:11:03,240
all the needs met, but we still 
keep all of the natural beauty 

138
00:11:03,240 --> 00:11:13,960
that we want. 
I mean, if somebody can think of

139
00:11:13,960 --> 00:11:17,720
a better future, I'm all ears. 
But I think that's that's 

140
00:11:17,720 --> 00:11:19,280
probably the best, the best way 
to go. 

141
00:11:20,760 --> 00:11:24,000
So, yeah. 
See. 

142
00:11:24,200 --> 00:11:30,240
So, yeah, as you know, every 
test is designed to be 

143
00:11:30,360 --> 00:11:34,640
autonomous. 
So the it's so nice. 

144
00:11:34,640 --> 00:11:36,600
Difficult to explain to people 
if they've not. 

145
00:11:36,640 --> 00:11:39,000
In fact, I'm sure you've all 
encountered this where you try 

146
00:11:39,000 --> 00:11:42,640
to tell people that the Tesla 
can drive itself and they they 

147
00:11:42,640 --> 00:11:47,720
think you're crazy or something.
I mean, especially like apart 

148
00:11:47,720 --> 00:11:50,680
from the cyber truck, our cars 
look pretty normal. 

149
00:11:51,480 --> 00:11:54,360
I mean, they're good looking 
cars, but they don't look super 

150
00:11:54,840 --> 00:12:01,160
then they look normal. 
But I guess it's kind of like 

151
00:12:01,160 --> 00:12:05,080
having a cat or like, and, and 
the cats are sitting. 

152
00:12:05,080 --> 00:12:07,240
Let's say you've got a cat and 
it's like just sitting there on 

153
00:12:07,240 --> 00:12:11,520
the couch and you try to tell 
people that the cat can 

154
00:12:11,520 --> 00:12:15,000
actually, it's actually Puss in 
Boots and, and it, and it can 

155
00:12:15,000 --> 00:12:19,000
actually put on boots and a hat 
and, and swashbuckle and sing 

156
00:12:19,000 --> 00:12:20,960
and dance. 
And people are like, no way, 

157
00:12:20,960 --> 00:12:26,920
man, that's a cat until the cat 
does all those things and you're

158
00:12:26,920 --> 00:12:34,000
like, damn, what the. 
So we've got, you know, millions

159
00:12:34,000 --> 00:12:39,400
of Tesla cars out there that are
the kind of like person boots 

160
00:12:39,400 --> 00:12:42,480
that they're intelligent, but 
people don't know that they're 

161
00:12:42,480 --> 00:12:45,400
intelligent. 
They look like normal cars, but 

162
00:12:45,400 --> 00:12:48,000
actually they're super smart and
can drive themselves. 

163
00:12:48,840 --> 00:12:52,160
So as I think that's probably 
the single biggest thing we need

164
00:12:52,160 --> 00:12:57,440
to do is to educate potential 
customers that you can either 

165
00:12:57,440 --> 00:12:59,960
have a car, you can either have 
a cat that's like normal cat, or

166
00:12:59,960 --> 00:13:02,080
you can have person boots and 
person boots is very cool. 

167
00:13:04,960 --> 00:13:10,640
So that's, so we've these days 
when people come to our stores 

168
00:13:11,560 --> 00:13:14,560
and, or even people that have 
the car haven't turned it on, we

169
00:13:14,560 --> 00:13:18,360
find, and sometimes people have 
paid for FSD and haven't turned 

170
00:13:18,360 --> 00:13:19,360
it on. 
We're like what you should at 

171
00:13:19,360 --> 00:13:25,600
least try it once. 
And so now we like the sales 

172
00:13:25,600 --> 00:13:28,680
team, the service team will 
actually sit with customers and 

173
00:13:28,680 --> 00:13:32,040
say, look, let us show you how 
it works and how easy it is. 

174
00:13:32,880 --> 00:13:37,000
And then once they've tried it 
for even just a few days, they, 

175
00:13:37,000 --> 00:13:41,920
they can't live without it. 
And, and, and now with version 

176
00:13:41,920 --> 00:13:47,200
14, we're actually getting to 
the point where we almost feel 

177
00:13:47,200 --> 00:13:51,560
comfortable allowing people to 
text and drive, which is kind of

178
00:13:51,560 --> 00:13:54,440
the killer app because that, 
that's really what people want 

179
00:13:54,440 --> 00:14:02,320
to do and, and do do. 
And actually right now the, you 

180
00:14:02,320 --> 00:14:08,080
know, the versions, you know, 
the cars a little strict about 

181
00:14:08,440 --> 00:14:14,560
keeping your eyes on the road. 
And but I'm confident that in 

182
00:14:14,560 --> 00:14:18,160
the next month or two, we should
we we, we're going to look 

183
00:14:18,160 --> 00:14:21,480
closely at the safety 
statistics, but we will allow 

184
00:14:22,440 --> 00:14:27,160
you to text and drive 
essentially. 

185
00:14:30,440 --> 00:14:43,120
Yeah. 
So yeah, that's that's, it's 

186
00:14:43,160 --> 00:14:45,320
certainly about the current 
situation, which often people 

187
00:14:45,320 --> 00:14:49,440
will actually turn off FSD to 
text, then turn it back on, 

188
00:14:49,840 --> 00:14:54,640
which is less safe. 
So, so yeah, that's probably the

189
00:14:54,640 --> 00:14:59,560
single biggest thing is, is just
get people aware of FSD and then

190
00:14:59,560 --> 00:15:01,560
obviously we need to get it 
approved in in Europe. 

191
00:15:01,560 --> 00:15:04,160
So we certainly appreciate the 
support of our customers in 

192
00:15:04,160 --> 00:15:07,800
Europe pushing the regulators to
approve FSD because you can't 

193
00:15:07,800 --> 00:15:11,920
even get a super, even just 
normal supervised FSD is not 

194
00:15:11,920 --> 00:15:14,920
allowed in Europe currently, 
which doesn't make any sense. 

195
00:15:14,920 --> 00:15:16,760
And I've had these like crazy 
conversations with the 

196
00:15:16,760 --> 00:15:20,960
regulators that seem like a 
Franz Kaka novel where where I'm

197
00:15:20,960 --> 00:15:25,160
like, well, look, we have, you 
know, billions of kilometers of 

198
00:15:25,560 --> 00:15:28,040
data that shows that FSD 
increases safety. 

199
00:15:29,440 --> 00:15:31,040
And they're like, well, we have 
to have all these committee 

200
00:15:31,040 --> 00:15:32,800
meetings. 
I'm like, yeah, but people's 

201
00:15:32,800 --> 00:15:36,120
lives are at stake here. 
So definitely a pressure from 

202
00:15:36,120 --> 00:15:39,720
our customers in Europe to to 
push the regulators to approve 

203
00:15:39,720 --> 00:15:43,120
would be appreciated. 
And then we have partial 

204
00:15:43,120 --> 00:15:45,720
approval in China. 
And we hopeful, hopefully will 

205
00:15:45,720 --> 00:15:49,760
have full approval in China 
around February or March or so. 

206
00:15:49,760 --> 00:15:50,920
That's what that's what they've 
told us. 

207
00:16:00,880 --> 00:16:06,560
Yeah, but yeah, the, the, the 
fact that every Tesla car is 

208
00:16:06,560 --> 00:16:08,880
capable of full self driving, 
every car we build and have 

209
00:16:08,880 --> 00:16:12,360
built for the last several years
is capable of full self driving 

210
00:16:12,360 --> 00:16:14,960
is, is pretty wild. 
And most people don't don't know

211
00:16:14,960 --> 00:16:19,720
that. 
So, and then we've got the the 

212
00:16:19,720 --> 00:16:25,880
first car that is specifically 
built for unsupervised full self

213
00:16:25,880 --> 00:16:30,280
driving to be to be a robotaxi. 
It's called a cyber cab. 

214
00:16:30,760 --> 00:16:33,160
It doesn't even have pedals or 
steering wheel. 

215
00:16:35,480 --> 00:16:41,440
Yeah. 
So notice there's no side view 

216
00:16:41,440 --> 00:16:43,080
MERS. 
There's no yeah. 

217
00:16:43,080 --> 00:16:46,920
So it's it's and it's very much 
optimized to minute for for the 

218
00:16:46,920 --> 00:16:50,120
lowest cost per mile in our in 
our autonomous mode. 

219
00:16:51,320 --> 00:16:55,320
And that production is happening
right here in this factory and 

220
00:16:55,320 --> 00:16:57,400
we'll be starting production in 
April next year. 

221
00:17:06,940 --> 00:17:12,780
So the, the way that Cyber cab 
is designed is it's, it's, it's 

222
00:17:12,859 --> 00:17:17,819
designed obviously for a purely 
autonomous world, but also the 

223
00:17:18,260 --> 00:17:23,500
manufacturing system is unlike 
any other car. 

224
00:17:24,380 --> 00:17:27,700
It manufacturing system of the 
cyber cab. 

225
00:17:28,380 --> 00:17:32,280
It's, it's sort of it's closer 
to a high volume consumer 

226
00:17:32,280 --> 00:17:35,360
electronics device than it is a 
car manufacturing line. 

227
00:17:36,080 --> 00:17:40,760
So the net result is that I 
think we should be able to 

228
00:17:40,760 --> 00:17:46,680
achieve, I think ultimately less
than a 10 second cycle time 

229
00:17:46,680 --> 00:17:52,080
basically unit every 10 seconds,
maybe ultimately take a few 

230
00:17:52,080 --> 00:17:55,520
years to get there, but it's 
theoretically possible to get to

231
00:17:55,880 --> 00:18:03,960
a 5 second production time. 
And so, So what that would mean 

232
00:18:03,960 --> 00:18:09,360
is you could get on a, on a line
that would normally produce, say

233
00:18:09,360 --> 00:18:17,200
500,000 cars a year at a one 
minute cycle time, like Model Y,

234
00:18:17,760 --> 00:18:24,440
the this, this would be maybe as
much as, you know, two or three 

235
00:18:24,440 --> 00:18:28,400
million, maybe ultimately, you 
know, it's theoretically 

236
00:18:28,400 --> 00:18:32,960
possible to achieve a 5 million 
unit production line if you, if 

237
00:18:32,960 --> 00:18:34,640
you can get to the 5 second 
cycle time. 

238
00:18:35,760 --> 00:18:49,360
So it's a lot of cars. 
So these, these will be 

239
00:18:49,680 --> 00:18:59,480
everywhere in the future. 
So I wanted, we wanted to look 

240
00:18:59,480 --> 00:19:01,200
futuristic. 
So like it changes the look of 

241
00:19:01,200 --> 00:19:15,360
the roads Now the yeah, the 
ingredients, when you look at 

242
00:19:15,360 --> 00:19:20,720
what Optimus is, what's required
to make Optimus and the various 

243
00:19:20,720 --> 00:19:24,320
ingredients, what do you need to
do to make, to do high volume 

244
00:19:24,920 --> 00:19:28,680
humanoid robot production? 
I think it's worth considering 

245
00:19:28,680 --> 00:19:32,520
that really the cars we make are
already robots, but they're 4 

246
00:19:32,520 --> 00:19:35,440
wheeled robots. 
So Tesla is already the biggest 

247
00:19:35,440 --> 00:19:38,640
robot manufacturer in the world 
because every car we make is a 

248
00:19:38,640 --> 00:19:41,560
robot. 
And when you break it down to 

249
00:19:41,560 --> 00:19:43,960
the fundamental elements you've 
got, you've got batteries, power

250
00:19:43,960 --> 00:19:52,160
electronics, motors, gearboxes, 
you've got, you know, 

251
00:19:52,440 --> 00:20:00,600
connectivity, you've got a 
vision based AI high Optimus and

252
00:20:02,320 --> 00:20:05,760
you know all the various pieces 
that you need for a humanoid 

253
00:20:05,760 --> 00:20:07,720
robot. 
You need the AI chip, you need 

254
00:20:07,720 --> 00:20:11,440
the AI software, you need to be 
able to manage a large fleet. 

255
00:20:12,600 --> 00:20:18,600
And and so really Optimus is a 
robot with arms and legs as 

256
00:20:18,600 --> 00:20:20,680
opposed to as opposed to a robot
with wheels. 

257
00:20:22,440 --> 00:20:26,360
So. 
You know, Tesla's ideally 

258
00:20:26,360 --> 00:20:29,320
suited, I think to, to make, to 
succeed in this arena. 

259
00:20:34,120 --> 00:20:38,200
You, you, you will see certainly
many companies showing 

260
00:20:38,200 --> 00:20:41,880
demonstration robots. 
There's really three things that

261
00:20:41,880 --> 00:20:43,600
are super difficult about 
robots. 

262
00:20:43,600 --> 00:20:47,600
One is the engineering of the 
forearm and hand, because the 

263
00:20:47,600 --> 00:20:50,960
human hand is an incredible, 
incredible thing. 

264
00:20:50,960 --> 00:20:57,680
Actually, it's super dexterous. 
So engineering the hand really 

265
00:20:57,680 --> 00:21:04,480
well, the real world AI and then
volume manufacturing, those are 

266
00:21:04,480 --> 00:21:08,160
generally the things that are 
missing one or more of those 

267
00:21:08,160 --> 00:21:09,600
things I'm missing from other 
companies. 

268
00:21:10,320 --> 00:21:12,560
So Tesla is the only one that 
has all three of those. 

269
00:21:14,320 --> 00:21:16,000
Yeah. 
So yeah. 

270
00:21:24,200 --> 00:21:30,160
So this is the Optimus kind of 
initial, it's a kind of 

271
00:21:30,160 --> 00:21:34,320
prototype production line. 
The the high volume production 

272
00:21:34,320 --> 00:21:36,040
line will be very automated, 
obviously. 

273
00:21:36,040 --> 00:21:39,520
But this is this is really the 
production line that we use to 

274
00:21:39,920 --> 00:21:42,320
make the prototypes. 
So you can get a sort of rough 

275
00:21:42,320 --> 00:21:45,040
sense for what it takes to build
the robot. 

276
00:22:02,160 --> 00:22:18,360
To pull the finger 
and then as I've said before, I 

277
00:22:18,360 --> 00:22:22,640
think once we reach about 
1,000,000 units per year of 

278
00:22:22,640 --> 00:22:25,960
sustained production or in 
excess of that, I think probably

279
00:22:25,960 --> 00:22:32,240
the cost of production is around
$20,000 in current year, current

280
00:22:32,240 --> 00:22:37,280
year dollars. 
So this will be certainly very 

281
00:22:37,280 --> 00:22:43,080
affordable. 
And yeah, like I said, I think 

282
00:22:43,280 --> 00:22:49,520
Optimus will ultimately increase
the size of the economy probably

283
00:22:49,520 --> 00:22:54,760
by a factor of 10 or more. 
You know, next year we saw 

284
00:22:54,760 --> 00:22:56,680
production with Optimus version 
3. 

285
00:22:57,360 --> 00:23:00,040
This what you're seeing here is 
Optimus version 2.5. 

286
00:23:00,760 --> 00:23:06,400
Optimus 3 is, is an incredibly 
good, good design. 

287
00:23:06,760 --> 00:23:08,800
The tells the engineering team 
is amazing. 

288
00:23:10,880 --> 00:23:22,090
When you see Optimus 3, yeah, 
you it will seem as though that 

289
00:23:23,130 --> 00:23:27,210
there's someone like a like a 
person in a robot outfit, which 

290
00:23:27,210 --> 00:23:32,250
is how we started with Optimus. 
It really is going to be 

291
00:23:32,250 --> 00:23:38,570
something special. 
And then Optimus, Optimus 4, you

292
00:23:38,570 --> 00:23:42,880
know that that hopefully starts 
production in 27 and then 

293
00:23:42,880 --> 00:23:45,600
Optimus 5 and 28. 
So it's kind of like an annual 

294
00:23:45,600 --> 00:23:50,400
release cycle with significant 
improvements with each one and 

295
00:23:50,600 --> 00:23:54,880
and gigantic increases in the 
scale of production. 

296
00:23:57,440 --> 00:24:03,000
So yeah, sustainable abundance 
via AI and robotics. 

297
00:24:03,360 --> 00:24:04,360
That's the future we're headed 
for. 

298
00:24:14,600 --> 00:24:18,960
And as as I think most people 
here know, the safety statistics

299
00:24:19,040 --> 00:24:25,000
show that miles driven on FSD 
are much safer than miles driven

300
00:24:25,000 --> 00:24:29,040
with without it. 
So what this will translate to 

301
00:24:29,040 --> 00:24:32,760
ultimately is saving the lives 
of millions of people and 

302
00:24:32,760 --> 00:24:35,000
preventing hundreds of millions 
of accidents. 

303
00:24:35,800 --> 00:24:42,280
So a massive increase in the in,
you know, lives sold and and 

304
00:24:42,400 --> 00:24:45,200
tragedies avoided. 
It's going to be amazing. 

305
00:24:54,360 --> 00:24:57,480
And how many people here have 
tried 14.1? 

306
00:24:58,160 --> 00:24:59,800
OK, all right. 
Cool. 

307
00:25:02,320 --> 00:25:05,240
Yeah, You can see the even with 
the point releases, it's getting

308
00:25:05,240 --> 00:25:07,720
quite a bit better. 
It should be pretty smooth at 

309
00:25:07,720 --> 00:25:13,200
this point. 
But really 14.2 is that there 

310
00:25:13,200 --> 00:25:16,240
are major changes, 14.2 and then
14.3. 

311
00:25:17,760 --> 00:25:22,280
And I think I think by 14.3 is 
when we'll really be at the 

312
00:25:22,280 --> 00:25:26,120
point where you can just pretty 
much fall asleep and wake up at 

313
00:25:26,120 --> 00:25:38,380
your destination. 
So, and then I've been putting a

314
00:25:38,380 --> 00:25:43,500
lot of time into the new Tesla 
chip design because in order to 

315
00:25:43,500 --> 00:25:48,600
have a functional robot, you 
have to have a great AI chip and

316
00:25:48,600 --> 00:25:51,680
it needs to be an inexpensive 
chip and it needs to be very 

317
00:25:51,680 --> 00:25:56,680
power efficient. 
So we, we, we believe the AI5 

318
00:25:56,680 --> 00:26:02,920
chip will be probably about 1/3 
of the power of say something 

319
00:26:02,920 --> 00:26:06,040
like a Blackwell and a video 
Blackwell, which is great, a 

320
00:26:06,040 --> 00:26:12,680
great chip for roughly A 
comparable performance and about

321
00:26:12,680 --> 00:26:14,920
and, and much less than 10% of 
the cost. 

322
00:26:16,320 --> 00:26:24,720
So. 
This is a chip that is that is 

323
00:26:24,720 --> 00:26:27,840
very much optimized for the 
Tesla AI software stack. 

324
00:26:28,400 --> 00:26:31,360
So it's it's not meant to be a 
general purpose chip. 

325
00:26:31,360 --> 00:26:34,760
It's meant to be an amazing chip
for the Tesla AI software. 

326
00:26:36,880 --> 00:26:42,840
And I mean a couple things that 
I think make like how is Tesla 

327
00:26:42,840 --> 00:26:44,640
able to achieve such an 
improvement? 

328
00:26:44,640 --> 00:26:48,360
I think it is because because we
are specialized, we're not 

329
00:26:48,360 --> 00:26:52,680
trying to, you know, NVIDIA has 
to serve the superset of all 

330
00:26:52,680 --> 00:26:55,680
past and future customers. 
So all of their requirements, 

331
00:26:55,680 --> 00:26:58,480
all of the software that they've
written has to work, which is a 

332
00:26:58,480 --> 00:27:02,480
very difficult problem, whereas 
we just need to make it work for

333
00:27:02,480 --> 00:27:07,280
our software. 
And and so we were able to 

334
00:27:07,280 --> 00:27:13,280
simplify the chip dramatically. 
And then we also, I think, I 

335
00:27:13,280 --> 00:27:16,560
think we're unique in this, but 
like we, we have an integer 

336
00:27:16,560 --> 00:27:21,640
based system and integer 
operations are fundamentally 

337
00:27:21,640 --> 00:27:23,800
more efficient than floating 
point operations. 

338
00:27:24,600 --> 00:27:28,400
So we can do floating point, but
we, but the vast majority of of 

339
00:27:28,400 --> 00:27:33,160
our inference is done in 
integer, which is if you're 

340
00:27:33,480 --> 00:27:37,440
familiar with sort of logic 
gates like the simplicity of of 

341
00:27:37,440 --> 00:27:42,400
integer. 
And it's integer is much more 

342
00:27:42,400 --> 00:27:44,120
power efficient, much more 
silicon efficient. 

343
00:27:45,160 --> 00:27:48,560
But you have to, you actually 
have to train for integer 

344
00:27:49,000 --> 00:27:51,800
inference, which everyone else 
is training for floating point. 

345
00:27:53,720 --> 00:27:56,360
Those that's kind of like a 
niche technical detail, but it's

346
00:27:56,360 --> 00:28:02,320
actually very important. 
So yeah, this this is, this is 

347
00:28:02,320 --> 00:28:09,840
going to be a great chip. 
So this, this chip will be made 

348
00:28:09,840 --> 00:28:16,880
in basically in four places, 
TSMC Taiwan, Samsung Korea, TSMC

349
00:28:16,880 --> 00:28:28,520
Arizona and TSMC Texas. 
And we already know what 

350
00:28:28,520 --> 00:28:33,720
improvements to make for AI6. 
So I'm hopeful that we can, 

351
00:28:34,000 --> 00:28:37,920
within less than a year of AI5 
starting production, we can 

352
00:28:37,920 --> 00:28:43,080
actually transition in the same 
fab to AI 6 and double all of 

353
00:28:43,080 --> 00:28:51,960
the performance metrics. 
So I'm super hardcore on chips 

354
00:28:51,960 --> 00:28:55,440
right now. 
As you may be able to tell, I 

355
00:28:55,440 --> 00:29:00,240
got chips on the brain. 
I dream about chips literally. 

356
00:29:03,840 --> 00:29:08,000
I can, I can, I can draw the 
the, the, the, you know, the, 

357
00:29:08,120 --> 00:29:10,720
the at least the broad brush 
stroke physical design of the 

358
00:29:10,760 --> 00:29:13,600
AI5 chip by off by heart at this
point. 

359
00:29:16,960 --> 00:29:19,520
It's it's, it's a good chip. 
It's a good chip, Sir. 

360
00:29:23,560 --> 00:29:25,000
So this this is this is really 
key. 

361
00:29:25,000 --> 00:29:31,360
Now one of the things I'm trying
to figure out is how do we make 

362
00:29:31,360 --> 00:29:40,200
enough chips? 
So, you know, I have a lot of 

363
00:29:40,200 --> 00:29:45,400
respect for our the the, the 
Tesla partners, TSMC and 

364
00:29:45,400 --> 00:29:48,600
Samsung. 
Yeah, you know, maybe we'll, 

365
00:29:48,800 --> 00:29:50,200
we'll, we'll do something with 
Intel. 

366
00:29:50,200 --> 00:29:53,800
We we haven't signed any deal, 
but it's probably worth having 

367
00:29:53,800 --> 00:30:00,400
discussions with Intel. 
But even when we extrapolate the

368
00:30:00,400 --> 00:30:04,320
best case scenario for chip 
production from our suppliers, 

369
00:30:04,960 --> 00:30:11,400
it's still not enough. 
So I think we may have to do a 

370
00:30:11,400 --> 00:30:20,720
Tesla Terafab. 
So it's like Giga, but way 

371
00:30:20,720 --> 00:30:26,880
bigger. 
I, I can't see any other way to 

372
00:30:26,880 --> 00:30:29,560
get to the volume of chips that 
that we're looking for. 

373
00:30:31,880 --> 00:30:36,000
So I think we're probably going 
to have to build a gigantic chip

374
00:30:36,000 --> 00:30:48,470
fab. 
Got to be done. 

375
00:30:51,310 --> 00:30:56,710
So anyway, some of the stuff 
I've already talked about, Yep, 

376
00:30:56,990 --> 00:31:01,110
we've, we've done a tremendous 
amount for sustainable energy 

377
00:31:01,270 --> 00:31:04,230
and that that's only going to 
grow over time. 

378
00:31:06,270 --> 00:31:12,200
The world is moving towards a, a
solar battery economy, which is 

379
00:31:12,200 --> 00:31:15,560
ultimately the, that's, it's 
where that's where it was going 

380
00:31:15,560 --> 00:31:17,320
to go anyway. 
But what tells us does 

381
00:31:17,320 --> 00:31:20,160
accelerate, accelerate that 
outcome? 

382
00:31:22,960 --> 00:31:25,920
Sometimes people don't 
understand quite how much energy

383
00:31:25,920 --> 00:31:30,280
comes from the sun. 
So the sun is 99.8% of all mass 

384
00:31:30,280 --> 00:31:34,120
in the solar system. 
Jupiter being point 1% and then 

385
00:31:34,680 --> 00:31:37,480
point 1% is miscellaneous. 
Earth being in the miscellaneous

386
00:31:37,480 --> 00:31:41,640
category. 
So the total amount of energy 

387
00:31:41,960 --> 00:31:45,800
like, so sometimes people what 
say like, well, we'll build the 

388
00:31:45,800 --> 00:31:48,400
fusion reactors on Earth. 
It's like, well actually the 

389
00:31:48,400 --> 00:31:51,320
giant fusion reactor in the sky 
is basically impossible to beat 

390
00:31:52,560 --> 00:31:56,160
to such degree that even if you 
could burn Jupiter in a 

391
00:31:56,160 --> 00:31:59,080
thermonuclear reactor, the 
amount of energy produced by the

392
00:31:59,080 --> 00:32:01,240
sun would still round up to 
100%. 

393
00:32:02,120 --> 00:32:03,840
That's how much energy the sun 
produces. 

394
00:32:04,920 --> 00:32:13,120
So solar power is necessarily 
the future and I think there's 

395
00:32:13,120 --> 00:32:19,600
going to be a lot of solar 
powered AI satellites and I 

396
00:32:19,600 --> 00:32:21,000
think Tesla is going to play a 
role in that. 

397
00:32:30,640 --> 00:32:32,720
We've obviously refreshed the 
product line. 

398
00:32:32,720 --> 00:32:40,480
So S3 XY if if you haven't tried
the Model S3X or Y or the cyber 

399
00:32:40,480 --> 00:32:43,360
truck, I recommend at least 
getting a test drive or a test 

400
00:32:43,360 --> 00:32:46,560
ride as the case may be. 
Try out the full self driving 

401
00:32:47,600 --> 00:32:49,720
and I think you'll be blown away
to those who do not. 

402
00:32:50,160 --> 00:32:51,920
If you might be listening and 
don't have a Tesla, you should 

403
00:32:51,920 --> 00:32:59,560
try one. 
So and of course we've got the 

404
00:32:59,560 --> 00:33:02,440
cyber truck, which is the 
toughest truck of all time. 

405
00:33:03,520 --> 00:33:07,440
It's literally bulletproof, 
faster than a Porsche 9/11 and 

406
00:33:07,440 --> 00:33:13,560
can out tow a Ford F-350. 
So it's a great car, great 

407
00:33:13,560 --> 00:33:23,940
truck. 
And then starting next year, we,

408
00:33:26,020 --> 00:33:36,980
we manufacture the Tesla semi. 
So this, this is already we 

409
00:33:36,980 --> 00:33:41,360
already have a lot of prototype 
Tesla Semis in operation. 

410
00:33:42,200 --> 00:33:44,600
PepsiCo and other companies have
been using the Tesla Semi for 

411
00:33:44,600 --> 00:33:47,920
quite some time. 
But we will start volume 

412
00:33:47,920 --> 00:33:55,440
production at our Northern 
Nevada factory in 2026. 

413
00:33:55,520 --> 00:33:58,160
So we get, we get two big 
products or three, three massive

414
00:33:58,160 --> 00:33:59,920
products starting production 
next year. 

415
00:34:00,160 --> 00:34:04,760
We got Optimus, we got Tesla 
Semi and we got the cyber cap. 

416
00:34:13,360 --> 00:34:20,080
And then battery packs. 
So the, if you, if you look at 

417
00:34:20,080 --> 00:34:25,360
total US power generation 
capability, it's roughly A 

418
00:34:25,360 --> 00:34:30,320
terawatt, but the average power 
usage is less than half a a 

419
00:34:30,320 --> 00:34:33,199
terawatt. 
And that's because the, the big 

420
00:34:33,199 --> 00:34:37,080
differences in power usage 
between day and night. 

421
00:34:37,560 --> 00:34:41,320
So the, the, the, the daily and 
seasonal variations in power 

422
00:34:41,320 --> 00:34:45,040
consumption mean that the United
States and, and really every 

423
00:34:45,040 --> 00:34:48,440
country is only using about 
half, is only producing about 

424
00:34:48,440 --> 00:34:52,360
half as much electrical energy 
as it could, because without 

425
00:34:52,360 --> 00:34:55,040
batteries, there's no effective 
way to buffer the energy. 

426
00:34:56,440 --> 00:35:00,360
So what batteries actually 
enable is even if you don't 

427
00:35:00,360 --> 00:35:03,480
build any incremental power 
plants, you could double the 

428
00:35:03,560 --> 00:35:06,920
energy output of the United 
States just with batteries. 

429
00:35:08,520 --> 00:35:12,240
This is a super big deal. 
And in fact, I think that's 

430
00:35:12,280 --> 00:35:15,000
really where most of the 
incremental energy production in

431
00:35:15,000 --> 00:35:17,120
the United States is going to 
come from is literally 

432
00:35:17,120 --> 00:35:20,680
batteries. 
So a bigger deal than a may 

433
00:35:20,680 --> 00:35:29,980
seem. 
And then we've got we we keep 

434
00:35:30,260 --> 00:35:33,540
improving the battery design so 
the the the mega block, which 

435
00:35:33,540 --> 00:35:38,980
makes it really easy to deploy 
battery utility scale batteries.

436
00:35:40,380 --> 00:35:43,520
So we've we've just simplified 
and and brought more of the 

437
00:35:43,680 --> 00:35:45,920
components to be internal to the
battery. 

438
00:35:45,920 --> 00:35:48,680
So you can just show up and drop
off a battery and it works. 

439
00:35:50,280 --> 00:35:55,960
And then hopefully with the 
wonder how to, hopefully over 

440
00:35:55,960 --> 00:35:58,720
time, we will actually add more 
and more of the power 

441
00:35:58,720 --> 00:36:02,400
electronics so that Megapack 
will actually be able able to 

442
00:36:02,440 --> 00:36:05,440
output up to 35 kilovolts 
directly. 

443
00:36:07,240 --> 00:36:09,440
So you won't need a substation. 
That's what I'm saying. 

444
00:36:09,440 --> 00:36:11,800
You can just literally drop it 
off kind of like the way that a 

445
00:36:11,800 --> 00:36:14,040
power wall, you just connect it 
to the house. 

446
00:36:14,040 --> 00:36:17,480
The utility wires go on one side
and the other side goes to the 

447
00:36:17,680 --> 00:36:21,920
house mains and that's it. 
So we want to get mega pack to 

448
00:36:21,920 --> 00:36:24,440
the point where you just 
literally take the utility wires

449
00:36:24,560 --> 00:36:26,120
and you plug them in and it just
works. 

450
00:36:35,830 --> 00:36:38,590
Then we've got the, we've also 
built the world's largest 

451
00:36:38,590 --> 00:36:40,910
Supercharger network. 
So we do a lot of things here at

452
00:36:40,910 --> 00:36:46,160
Tesla. 
That's the biggest Supercharger 

453
00:36:46,160 --> 00:36:51,600
network in the world by far. 
And ultimately you'll be able to

454
00:36:51,600 --> 00:36:54,080
go anywhere on earth using a 
Tesla Supercharger. 

455
00:36:54,280 --> 00:36:56,200
And it's pretty close to 
anywhere on earth. 

456
00:36:56,680 --> 00:37:00,760
But it's, you know, it's going 
to be ultimately just anywhere. 

457
00:37:00,920 --> 00:37:05,600
It'll just work anywhere. 
So the Supercharger team has 

458
00:37:05,600 --> 00:37:07,720
done, done great work expanding 
that and improving the 

459
00:37:07,720 --> 00:37:09,400
efficiency of the Supercharger 
network. 

460
00:37:11,040 --> 00:37:13,960
And in, in North America, they 
did such a good job that the, 

461
00:37:15,680 --> 00:37:18,080
the other car companies 
basically said, well, they'll 

462
00:37:18,080 --> 00:37:19,920
just use the Tesla Supercharger 
network. 

463
00:37:20,520 --> 00:37:22,320
Like like, OK, sounds good to 
us. 

464
00:37:31,260 --> 00:37:34,420
You know, it's always important 
to have a, a slide on safety in 

465
00:37:34,420 --> 00:37:37,260
the factory. 
So we continue to improve safety

466
00:37:37,260 --> 00:37:40,020
for our factory workers. 
We're, we care a lot about their

467
00:37:40,020 --> 00:37:44,720
well-being. 
And you know, like one way you 

468
00:37:44,720 --> 00:37:47,480
can just tell, like if a 
company's a good company or not.

469
00:37:47,480 --> 00:37:49,400
If you, if you just walk through
the factory or walk through the 

470
00:37:49,400 --> 00:37:53,440
office and catch the vibe and 
the vibe in the Tesla factory 

471
00:37:53,440 --> 00:37:55,120
is, is good. 
People are happy. 

472
00:37:56,040 --> 00:37:57,280
You know, that's how you know 
it's a good company. 

473
00:38:04,740 --> 00:38:08,060
We've also put a lot of 
investment into raw materials. 

474
00:38:08,500 --> 00:38:18,320
So the, we've built in in South 
Texas and Corpus Christi, the 

475
00:38:18,320 --> 00:38:22,240
biggest lithium refinery outside
of China, I believe. 

476
00:38:22,800 --> 00:38:27,040
So it's, it's going to, it's 
starting off with 50 GW hours 

477
00:38:27,080 --> 00:38:30,960
of, of, of lithium and we'll 
expand from there. 

478
00:38:31,440 --> 00:38:38,360
So this is a very, very 
important to have, you know, in 

479
00:38:38,360 --> 00:38:40,920
a worst case scenario that we 
have the ingredients necessary 

480
00:38:40,920 --> 00:38:43,080
to make a battery very 
important. 

481
00:38:44,880 --> 00:38:48,240
And and then we've got here on 
this site the the cathode 

482
00:38:49,040 --> 00:38:54,040
factory, which is just the sort 
of giant building about 1/2 mile

483
00:38:54,040 --> 00:38:57,640
that way. 
And we're just making sure that 

484
00:38:57,640 --> 00:39:01,520
we from a supply chain 
standpoint are resilient against

485
00:39:01,600 --> 00:39:03,760
any potential geopolitical 
challenges. 

486
00:39:11,960 --> 00:39:15,880
And then also at this factory, 
we also make the 4680 cell which

487
00:39:15,880 --> 00:39:21,240
is getting better and better. 
And that 4680 cell will be used 

488
00:39:21,720 --> 00:39:25,800
in the cyber cab Cyber it is 
being used in the cyber truck 

489
00:39:25,840 --> 00:39:29,320
and will be used in the cyber 
cab and also in Optimus. 

490
00:39:29,800 --> 00:39:34,160
So that that's going well. 
But we continue obviously to get

491
00:39:34,240 --> 00:39:37,200
cells from many suppliers. 
It's kind of like the the chip 

492
00:39:37,200 --> 00:39:39,200
AB thing. 
We'll we'll take as many chips 

493
00:39:39,200 --> 00:39:43,600
as our suppliers can provide us.
But then beyond that, if they 

494
00:39:43,600 --> 00:39:46,720
can't provide us with any 
incremental sales or chips, we 

495
00:39:46,720 --> 00:39:48,680
we kind of have to make them 
ourselves or we get stuck. 

496
00:39:52,560 --> 00:39:57,640
That's the Tesla Semi factory. 
So it's going to be pretty cool 

497
00:39:57,640 --> 00:39:59,400
to see these going down the road
and scale. 

498
00:40:10,660 --> 00:40:12,020
Yeah. 
So that's, that's the, that's 

499
00:40:12,020 --> 00:40:15,980
the basic plan, sustainable 
abundance for all. 

500
00:40:28,960 --> 00:40:32,600
All right. 
So yeah, I guess we can go into 

501
00:40:32,600 --> 00:40:40,540
Q&A now. 
Maybe at the next annual 

502
00:40:40,540 --> 00:40:42,340
shareholder meeting, we'll have 
Optimus take some of the 

503
00:40:42,340 --> 00:40:45,500
questions. 
That'd be cool. 

504
00:40:55,120 --> 00:40:57,640
So let's see, Alexander. 
Well, thank you for your help, 

505
00:40:57,640 --> 00:41:06,420
by the way. 
Yeah, please go ahead. 

506
00:41:06,420 --> 00:41:07,020
Thank you. 
Is that a mic? 

507
00:41:08,100 --> 00:41:09,460
Is it? 
No. 

508
00:41:09,460 --> 00:41:10,380
Let me hold it. 
It's OK. 

509
00:41:11,840 --> 00:41:13,320
Well, what a year has been, 
right? 

510
00:41:13,320 --> 00:41:16,080
I mean, just a year ago, 
President Trump got elected on 

511
00:41:16,080 --> 00:41:19,440
the same day. 
These 12 months have been a heck

512
00:41:19,440 --> 00:41:21,760
of 12 months. 
Thank you to the board because I

513
00:41:21,760 --> 00:41:25,120
think they had to weather quite 
some storms. 

514
00:41:25,600 --> 00:41:28,280
Institutional investors. 
And obviously, thank you to you.

515
00:41:28,640 --> 00:41:32,440
And we stand with you. 
I think we showed it and we will

516
00:41:32,440 --> 00:41:43,240
show it. 
So we would like to express A 

517
00:41:43,240 --> 00:41:45,640
wish, please. 
This is a nice venue. 

518
00:41:45,640 --> 00:41:48,000
We love coming to the Factory 
and I think it's actually great 

519
00:41:48,000 --> 00:41:51,400
we're doing this at the Factory,
but there are thousands of 

520
00:41:51,400 --> 00:41:53,960
retail investors who are crying 
because they cannot. 

521
00:41:54,240 --> 00:41:57,440
They come to me. 
I love playing the Mama, but I 

522
00:41:57,440 --> 00:42:01,360
now give it to you. 
Please organise a bigger venue. 

523
00:42:01,640 --> 00:42:04,600
We're bigger than Berkshire and 
we will do better than 

524
00:42:04,600 --> 00:42:06,040
Berkshire. 
OK, sure we can. 

525
00:42:06,200 --> 00:42:07,760
Pay. 
Make it up. 

526
00:42:09,400 --> 00:42:13,720
Yeah, actually Tesla will be 
way, way, way bigger than 

527
00:42:13,720 --> 00:42:15,960
Butcher. 
Butcher long term, it's going to

528
00:42:15,960 --> 00:42:21,200
be kind of nutty. 
So all right, we'll do the next 

529
00:42:21,200 --> 00:42:24,240
one. 
Maybe we'll do it in the Yeah, 

530
00:42:24,240 --> 00:42:26,920
like there. 
Yeah, maybe the, the, the 

531
00:42:27,040 --> 00:42:30,240
downtown arena or the, the, the 
soccer stadium or something like

532
00:42:30,240 --> 00:42:32,200
that. 
And get your security check. 

533
00:42:32,200 --> 00:42:33,720
We want to make sure that you're
safe. 

534
00:42:34,040 --> 00:42:40,160
What if I just Bob and weave? 
But you know, we want a party. 

535
00:42:40,240 --> 00:42:41,880
And if you. 
Can bring the other Elon 

536
00:42:41,880 --> 00:42:43,520
companies there as well. 
OK. 

537
00:42:43,520 --> 00:42:44,880
Investors would really 
appreciate. 

538
00:42:45,000 --> 00:42:46,560
All right, sounds good. 
Thank you very much for 

539
00:42:46,560 --> 00:42:47,320
listening. 
All right. 

540
00:42:56,950 --> 00:42:59,430
Elon, as a father, I just want 
to 1st thank you for the 

541
00:42:59,790 --> 00:43:02,510
everything you're doing in the 
world, especially freedom of 

542
00:43:02,510 --> 00:43:03,310
speech. 
Thank you. 

543
00:43:03,750 --> 00:43:11,440
And one question will will you 
or Tesla ever consider FSD tied 

544
00:43:11,440 --> 00:43:14,160
to an owner's account rather 
than a vehicle to encourage more

545
00:43:14,160 --> 00:43:17,680
frequent upgrades, provided the 
transfer is to only a brand new 

546
00:43:17,680 --> 00:43:20,360
Tesla vehicle while fostering 
brand loyalty? 

547
00:43:20,360 --> 00:43:23,000
If the vehicle is sole the 
trader without upgrade to 

548
00:43:23,000 --> 00:43:25,120
another Tesla, FSD ownership 
would end. 

549
00:43:28,480 --> 00:43:32,760
Well, we we have done that a few
times I guess. 

550
00:43:34,400 --> 00:43:36,200
I guess we could extend it 
again. 

551
00:43:38,640 --> 00:43:41,120
All right, We'll extend it. 
We'll extend it for at least 

552
00:43:41,120 --> 00:43:44,560
another quarter and then and 
then play it by year after that.

553
00:43:45,680 --> 00:43:52,640
All right. 
Howdy Elon, Congrats on not 

554
00:43:52,640 --> 00:43:54,520
having to show up to work for 
free anymore. 

555
00:43:54,640 --> 00:44:06,140
Yeah, yeah. 
We now have over a $40 billion 

556
00:44:06,140 --> 00:44:09,540
war chest. 
We're cash flow positive and 

557
00:44:09,980 --> 00:44:13,440
remain that. 
We know how you feel about Fiat 

558
00:44:13,440 --> 00:44:15,120
already. 
Is it time to take a look at 

559
00:44:15,120 --> 00:44:16,880
Bitcoin? 
What's your belief on that? 

560
00:44:16,880 --> 00:44:21,840
Also, you've hinted towards that
there's a wheelchair accessible 

561
00:44:21,840 --> 00:44:24,880
model in the works where you're 
referring to the Rabovian. 

562
00:44:25,200 --> 00:44:28,400
And if so, can we please speed 
up production to help the least 

563
00:44:28,400 --> 00:44:32,560
fortunate? 
Sure, Yeah, the obviously we 

564
00:44:34,120 --> 00:44:37,000
need a vehicle that's big enough
to to fit a wheelchair, 

565
00:44:37,560 --> 00:44:43,480
wheelchair accessible. 
So I think that that's that's 

566
00:44:43,640 --> 00:44:46,360
that is the Rebobin or robust or
whatever we call it. 

567
00:44:48,040 --> 00:44:52,120
I mean, the it's not like we 
we're slowing down because we 

568
00:44:52,120 --> 00:44:54,960
want to slow down. 
It's it's like we're, you know, 

569
00:44:54,960 --> 00:44:56,760
we're spending like a zillion 
plates here. 

570
00:44:58,200 --> 00:45:02,200
So but I do, I do think it would
be very cool because I think 

571
00:45:02,200 --> 00:45:04,360
aesthetically as well, it's 
just, it just would change the 

572
00:45:04,360 --> 00:45:06,240
look of the roads and make it 
feel like the future. 

573
00:45:06,880 --> 00:45:12,240
So, so won't be long before we 
make that, but it's, but since 

574
00:45:12,240 --> 00:45:17,680
we do have optimists, you know, 
the, we've got cyber cab 

575
00:45:17,680 --> 00:45:22,640
optimist and semi all next year.
It'll will probably have to be 

576
00:45:23,040 --> 00:45:25,040
maybe the year that you know, a 
couple years from now or 

577
00:45:25,040 --> 00:45:28,360
something like that. 
But we certainly will make a 

578
00:45:28,360 --> 00:45:39,290
wheelchair accessible vehicle. 
Hi, Satyoshi. 

579
00:45:40,720 --> 00:45:44,040
I was, I was privileged enough 
to attend the Investor Day and 

580
00:45:44,240 --> 00:45:47,000
you've also talked about the 
factory being a product and I 

581
00:45:47,000 --> 00:45:49,440
saw the dry cathode method and 
and so forth. 

582
00:45:49,440 --> 00:45:53,120
And I wanted to know the 
progress in that and also would 

583
00:45:53,480 --> 00:45:56,840
often be working on that in the 
future production line in the 

584
00:45:56,840 --> 00:46:00,040
future. 
Yeah, I guess the dry cathode, 

585
00:46:00,600 --> 00:46:02,520
man, that's turned out to be a 
lot harder than we thought. 

586
00:46:03,920 --> 00:46:10,040
So I mean, it, it does look like
it's going to be successful and 

587
00:46:10,040 --> 00:46:13,280
it will have some cost advantage
relative to wet cathode. 

588
00:46:14,240 --> 00:46:16,240
But if I had to wind the clock 
back, I would probably have gone

589
00:46:16,240 --> 00:46:19,800
with wet cathode instead of dry 
cathode because it, it just 

590
00:46:19,800 --> 00:46:24,040
turned out to be a lot harder to
make it, you know, high capable 

591
00:46:24,040 --> 00:46:26,520
of high volume production with, 
with super high reliability. 

592
00:46:28,080 --> 00:46:35,320
So, yeah, but we will be, we 
will be scaling up battery cell 

593
00:46:35,320 --> 00:46:39,360
production at Tesla and looking 
for cell production from our 

594
00:46:39,360 --> 00:46:43,760
suppliers as well because we're,
we're going to be ramping up 

595
00:46:43,760 --> 00:46:45,760
production very dramatically at 
Tesla. 

596
00:46:45,760 --> 00:46:51,000
So now, now that we, we, we 
believe we have full self 

597
00:46:51,000 --> 00:46:54,880
driving that we have autonomy 
solved, you know, or, or at 

598
00:46:54,880 --> 00:46:59,200
least or within a few months of 
having it unsupervised autonomy 

599
00:46:59,200 --> 00:47:02,640
solved at a reliability level 
significantly better than human.

600
00:47:03,520 --> 00:47:06,680
It's not that that means it's 
time to ramp up production 

601
00:47:08,040 --> 00:47:10,840
because the value proposition is
now much greater than a regular 

602
00:47:10,840 --> 00:47:13,920
car. 
The killer app really is for 

603
00:47:13,920 --> 00:47:15,640
people. 
Can you text and drive or can 

604
00:47:15,640 --> 00:47:20,160
you sleep and drive? 
You know, can you can the car 

605
00:47:20,160 --> 00:47:23,560
take you to your destination or 
do you need to pay attention and

606
00:47:23,560 --> 00:47:30,840
be and have to drive it? 
And before we allow the car to 

607
00:47:30,840 --> 00:47:33,720
be to be driven without paying 
attention, we need to make sure 

608
00:47:33,720 --> 00:47:36,040
it's very safe. 
But, but like I said, we're, 

609
00:47:36,800 --> 00:47:41,960
we're on the cusp of that. 
I know I've said that a few 

610
00:47:41,960 --> 00:47:46,320
times, but, but we really are at
this point and, and you can feel

611
00:47:46,320 --> 00:47:49,560
it for yourselves with, with 
the, the 14.1 release. 

612
00:47:51,280 --> 00:47:56,120
So the, you know, the what 
we're, we're we're going to try 

613
00:47:56,120 --> 00:47:59,760
to, we're going to push to 
expand vehicle production as 

614
00:47:59,760 --> 00:48:04,160
fast as we possibly can. 
So aspirationally we'd aim to 

615
00:48:04,160 --> 00:48:07,440
increase vehicle production by 
about 50% by the end of next 

616
00:48:07,440 --> 00:48:16,280
year. 
So, yeah, so that's, it's, it's 

617
00:48:16,280 --> 00:48:18,240
very hard to increase 
production, but that's that's 

618
00:48:18,240 --> 00:48:22,600
roughly, you know, I don't know,
maybe we get to like I'm just 

619
00:48:22,600 --> 00:48:28,520
guessing at an exit rate by the 
end of next year of around 2.62 

620
00:48:28,520 --> 00:48:32,000
point 7 million vehicles 
annualized production. 

621
00:48:32,440 --> 00:48:38,280
And then aim to get to maybe 
4,000,000 by the annualized rate

622
00:48:38,280 --> 00:48:42,840
by the end of 27 and then maybe 
5,000,000 by the end of 28. 

623
00:48:42,840 --> 00:48:45,280
That those are rough. 
Those are our aspirational 

624
00:48:45,280 --> 00:48:48,040
goals. 
So these are this, this is a 

625
00:48:48,040 --> 00:48:52,560
gigantic increase in, in output,
which means that the entire 

626
00:48:52,560 --> 00:48:58,200
supply chain has to move in, in,
in unison with that, with that 

627
00:48:58,200 --> 00:49:03,000
increase in, in volume. 
And the nature of the nature of 

628
00:49:03,000 --> 00:49:06,320
producing a large complex 
product is that it moves as fast

629
00:49:06,320 --> 00:49:09,200
as the least lucky, dumbest 
element in the entire system. 

630
00:49:09,200 --> 00:49:15,320
And there's 10,000 plus items. 
But, but this, like I said, this

631
00:49:15,320 --> 00:49:18,040
really is a new, it's not just a
new chapter for Tesla, it's a 

632
00:49:18,040 --> 00:49:21,880
new book. 
And and that new book is 

633
00:49:22,120 --> 00:49:26,720
massively increasing vehicle 
production and ramping up 

634
00:49:26,760 --> 00:49:30,640
optimist production faster than 
any things ever been wrapped up 

635
00:49:30,640 --> 00:49:33,680
before in history. 
So. 

636
00:49:40,050 --> 00:49:43,170
Awesome, Elon, thank you. 
Thank you from all of us. 

637
00:49:44,650 --> 00:49:48,010
You know, the retail 
shareholders really, really 

638
00:49:48,010 --> 00:49:49,970
care. 
And so I, I echo the sentiment 

639
00:49:49,970 --> 00:49:53,170
of, you know, a larger venue 
where more can, where can come, 

640
00:49:55,970 --> 00:49:57,370
you know. 
As a testament. 

641
00:49:57,370 --> 00:49:59,530
To that, I was here. 
I was fortunate enough to be 

642
00:49:59,530 --> 00:50:04,520
here last year and since then 
touring the factory, talking to,

643
00:50:04,520 --> 00:50:07,400
you know, people that work here.
I'm just a retail shareholder, 

644
00:50:07,400 --> 00:50:10,240
but increased my holdings 12 
times, right? 

645
00:50:10,240 --> 00:50:14,160
So I, you know, I know it's 
really engaging and gives people

646
00:50:14,160 --> 00:50:17,800
a confidence and, and so thank 
you for having us and I do echo 

647
00:50:17,800 --> 00:50:21,520
that. 
I hope it grows last year. 

648
00:50:21,760 --> 00:50:24,120
I'm the one that asked you about
your well-being and safety. 

649
00:50:24,400 --> 00:50:34,600
Oh yeah, full love and. 
You know, there's a broad, you 

650
00:50:34,600 --> 00:50:37,640
know, general question and it 
was before, you know, some of 

651
00:50:37,640 --> 00:50:39,440
the uncertainty that's unfolded 
since then. 

652
00:50:39,440 --> 00:50:44,640
And so I hope it had a positive,
you know, impact and you know, 

653
00:50:44,640 --> 00:50:50,480
we all care. 
And so my question this year, 

654
00:50:51,760 --> 00:50:55,880
you've talked recently about the
most mind blowing product demo 

655
00:50:55,880 --> 00:51:00,400
of all time and I shot it being 
the most memorable product ever.

656
00:51:01,120 --> 00:51:03,840
Roadster. 
Yeah, yeah. 

657
00:51:03,880 --> 00:51:08,800
And I have patiently been 
waiting on my Founders Series 

658
00:51:09,160 --> 00:51:12,160
Roadster reservation. 
So on behalf of the Founders 

659
00:51:12,160 --> 00:51:18,120
Series guys that have stuck in 
there, can we be invited to this

660
00:51:18,120 --> 00:51:20,160
unveil? 
Oh, yeah, sure, absolutely, 

661
00:51:20,400 --> 00:51:22,200
definitely. 
OK, yes. 

662
00:51:22,880 --> 00:51:24,800
So all Founders series can be 
invited. 

663
00:51:24,800 --> 00:51:26,880
Yes, yes. 
I mean, it's the least we could 

664
00:51:26,880 --> 00:51:31,560
do frankly, for people that have
long our long-suffering roasted 

665
00:51:31,560 --> 00:51:38,360
reservation holders. 
The I, I, I I feel confident 

666
00:51:38,360 --> 00:51:46,800
saying it will be the most 
exciting product unveil ever and

667
00:51:46,800 --> 00:51:49,920
I hope that whether it goes well
or doesn't go well. 

668
00:51:53,800 --> 00:51:56,080
Since I'm up here, can I get the
first one? 

669
00:51:57,800 --> 00:52:02,400
Well, I, I guess the, it's, it's
according to who whoever put 

670
00:52:02,400 --> 00:52:04,760
down their deposit in, in that 
sequence. 

671
00:52:05,040 --> 00:52:08,680
So that's the, but you'll get, 
you'll get a very early 1. 

672
00:52:10,400 --> 00:52:14,320
And I mean, the, the, the new 
roaster is very much sort of 

673
00:52:14,320 --> 00:52:16,840
like, it's not even the icing on
the cake. 

674
00:52:16,840 --> 00:52:18,560
It's the cherry on the icing on 
the cake. 

675
00:52:19,160 --> 00:52:24,480
So I mean, it's really kind of 
like, you know, it's, it's, it's

676
00:52:24,480 --> 00:52:26,960
like it's not essential for 
sustainable abundance, let me 

677
00:52:26,960 --> 00:52:31,400
put it that way. 
But I do think there should be, 

678
00:52:33,080 --> 00:52:38,080
you know, very cool technology 
in the world that is that, you 

679
00:52:38,120 --> 00:52:40,520
know, it's way beyond anything 
that's ever existed. 

680
00:52:41,080 --> 00:52:45,800
And I think I'd like those like,
even if I could never have 

681
00:52:45,800 --> 00:52:48,720
access to those things, I'd like
to know that they exist and, and

682
00:52:48,720 --> 00:52:51,880
see the future happening. 
So I think I think it will be 

683
00:52:51,880 --> 00:52:57,160
inspiring to a lot of people and
and just it's it's extreme. 

684
00:52:57,280 --> 00:53:04,120
It's like the coolest car, if it
even is a car that is ever that 

685
00:53:04,120 --> 00:53:07,520
will probably ever exist. 
Yeah. 

686
00:53:07,520 --> 00:53:12,680
So. 
Hi, Elon. 

687
00:53:12,680 --> 00:53:15,200
Congrats on the proposal plan. 
That was amazing. 

688
00:53:15,720 --> 00:53:17,760
The compensation question back 
to chips. 

689
00:53:17,760 --> 00:53:20,440
So chips, chips, chips. 
Chips, chips, chips, chips, 

690
00:53:20,720 --> 00:53:22,000
chips will be the limiting 
factor to. 

691
00:53:22,320 --> 00:53:25,760
The to the future so. 
On that, chips and electricity 

692
00:53:25,760 --> 00:53:26,920
are the two limiting factors, 
yeah. 

693
00:53:27,200 --> 00:53:30,520
And we got the energy and power 
and energy packs ready to roll. 

694
00:53:30,560 --> 00:53:33,640
So I think on the chips I think 
he said TSMC, Samsung, perhaps 

695
00:53:33,640 --> 00:53:36,320
Intel 14A and several different 
sites. 

696
00:53:36,320 --> 00:53:37,960
I heard a couple US factory 
sources. 

697
00:53:37,960 --> 00:53:40,640
Which is, I mean, we're like, 
everyone, everyone, you know, 

698
00:53:40,640 --> 00:53:41,960
it's like, yeah. 
Yeah. 

699
00:53:42,440 --> 00:53:45,800
And and so I guess the, is there
an open door in the future of 

700
00:53:45,800 --> 00:53:48,680
investing directly into some of 
those boundaries? 

701
00:53:48,840 --> 00:53:51,280
And second question, how big is 
a Terra factory? 

702
00:53:51,280 --> 00:53:53,600
Can you put that in scale? 
And good point, that's a. 

703
00:53:54,640 --> 00:53:58,640
Semiconductor Terra factory. 
Yeah. 

704
00:53:58,640 --> 00:54:02,520
Well, I mean, The thing is that 
we actually have agreed to buy 

705
00:54:02,520 --> 00:54:07,800
all the chips that are made from
the fab, you know, so it's 

706
00:54:07,800 --> 00:54:11,560
basically a money printing 
machine for TSMC and Samsung. 

707
00:54:11,600 --> 00:54:14,040
It's like literally the faster 
you make the chips, the faster 

708
00:54:14,040 --> 00:54:17,760
we send them money. 
But it's still not going at the 

709
00:54:18,640 --> 00:54:25,120
fast enough. 
So that's why I think as far as 

710
00:54:25,120 --> 00:54:31,360
I can see, the only option is to
go build some like very big chip

711
00:54:31,360 --> 00:54:35,840
fab and then you go to solve 
memory and packaging too. 

712
00:54:35,840 --> 00:54:40,240
So, but otherwise you just, you 
just tap out at whatever the, 

713
00:54:40,360 --> 00:54:45,920
the chip reduction rate is. 
And so I guess Tara would be 

714
00:54:45,960 --> 00:54:48,680
you, you'd want to say it's, 
it's got to be at least 100,000 

715
00:54:48,680 --> 00:54:54,880
wafer starts per month size fab 
and maybe that would be 1 of 10 

716
00:54:54,880 --> 00:54:58,000
in a complex. 
So ultimately be a million wafer

717
00:54:58,000 --> 00:55:02,200
starts per month. 
Yeah, exactly. 

718
00:55:02,200 --> 00:55:04,040
You can tell when you when it 
gets the giggle factor. 

719
00:55:04,040 --> 00:55:08,200
That's probably a good sign that
that we're onto something 

720
00:55:08,200 --> 00:55:12,640
special. 
But I, I wouldn't be surprised 

721
00:55:12,640 --> 00:55:14,720
if long term it's like a million
wafers a month. 

722
00:55:16,000 --> 00:55:20,760
Yeah. 
Hi LON. 

723
00:55:21,200 --> 00:55:25,040
I'm a long term investor, so 
I've been holding the shares for

724
00:55:25,040 --> 00:55:27,440
12 years. 
I, I worked at the Autopilot 

725
00:55:27,440 --> 00:55:31,680
team development for 10 years 
and I brought my dad here from 

726
00:55:31,680 --> 00:55:34,360
Brazil. 
We actually won the Tesla Vision

727
00:55:34,360 --> 00:55:36,640
contest with a Cyber Truck B 
video. 

728
00:55:36,960 --> 00:55:39,240
So I hope you get to see that at
some point. 

729
00:55:39,600 --> 00:55:43,200
So thanks for the free Model Y. 
And my question is about 

730
00:55:43,200 --> 00:55:46,920
obviously market expansion, but 
not only South America, Brazil, 

731
00:55:47,320 --> 00:55:50,680
but also into Mars, like with 
the upcoming rendezvous of Mars 

732
00:55:50,680 --> 00:55:52,600
and Earth. 
What's going to be in the 

733
00:55:52,600 --> 00:55:54,800
payload, you know? 
What are we going to send there?

734
00:55:56,160 --> 00:55:59,040
Well, Optimus is going to play a
big role. 

735
00:55:59,040 --> 00:56:02,560
Optimus, and I mean Tesla 
vehicles will play a big role on

736
00:56:02,920 --> 00:56:06,720
the moon and Mars. 
So for a moon base and a Mars, a

737
00:56:06,960 --> 00:56:13,480
Mars city, Tesla vehicles and 
and Optimus robots are natural, 

738
00:56:13,600 --> 00:56:19,040
natural fit for building and 
operating a moon base and a Mars

739
00:56:19,040 --> 00:56:21,960
city. 
So sorry. 

740
00:56:22,960 --> 00:56:27,000
Cyber truck also. 
Yeah, yeah, Cyber truck you will

741
00:56:27,000 --> 00:56:29,400
need to drive around and 
pressurize vehicle if there's a,

742
00:56:29,840 --> 00:56:34,680
you know, a person inside, but 
yeah, it it'll be it'll be 

743
00:56:34,680 --> 00:56:38,200
something cool next level moon 
buggy or Mars buggy. 

744
00:56:39,520 --> 00:56:45,680
So all right. 
Hi, Mr. Musk, Gorev, been a fan 

745
00:56:45,680 --> 00:56:50,520
of yours since 2006. 
I think I saw a piece in Popular

746
00:56:50,520 --> 00:56:52,880
Science magazine. 
It was really cool and I think I

747
00:56:52,880 --> 00:56:56,720
was 15 at the time, shareholder 
since 10 years now. 

748
00:56:56,720 --> 00:56:58,280
It's been really, really 
rewarding. 

749
00:56:58,280 --> 00:57:01,040
It's changed my life. 
So thank you very much to you 

750
00:57:01,040 --> 00:57:05,000
and Tesla. 
My question is regarding Tesla's

751
00:57:05,000 --> 00:57:09,640
mission for a sustainable future
as it pertains to autonomy. 

752
00:57:10,920 --> 00:57:16,880
I personally fully expect a 
deflationary period after well 

753
00:57:16,880 --> 00:57:21,840
unlocked by autonomy basically 
both in moving humans and goods 

754
00:57:21,840 --> 00:57:26,320
and whatnot, excluding Optimus 
even. 

755
00:57:27,600 --> 00:57:32,800
What efforts are is is Tesla 
going to focus on to reduce the 

756
00:57:32,800 --> 00:57:37,560
dollar per mile? 
Rough math, I think like $0.30 a

757
00:57:37,560 --> 00:57:42,400
mile would be really nice, $0.50
is pretty good too. 

758
00:57:42,400 --> 00:57:44,120
I mean, looking at inflation 
later on. 

759
00:57:44,640 --> 00:57:48,800
And then I guess the second part
of that, how low does it have to

760
00:57:48,800 --> 00:57:51,720
be for people to just stop 
buying cars? 

761
00:57:51,720 --> 00:57:53,920
Like where it doesn't make 
economic sense to do that? 

762
00:57:55,480 --> 00:57:58,160
I expect that to affect 
economies of scale and then 

763
00:57:58,160 --> 00:58:01,120
further increase the pricing of 
vehicles they're on out. 

764
00:58:01,440 --> 00:58:04,120
So like how? 
Like what is that node at which 

765
00:58:04,120 --> 00:58:08,320
inflection happens? 
Well, in terms of cost per mile,

766
00:58:08,320 --> 00:58:12,800
I mean we do see a path with a 
lot of work to get below $0.20 a

767
00:58:12,800 --> 00:58:21,120
mile in current year dollars. 
And, and I somewhat agree that 

768
00:58:21,120 --> 00:58:24,720
those things will probably be 
deflationary as productivity 

769
00:58:24,720 --> 00:58:27,760
increases because you can think 
of money supply as being the 

770
00:58:27,760 --> 00:58:32,520
ratio of goods and services to 
the like what's, what's the 

771
00:58:32,520 --> 00:58:34,960
growth in goods and services to 
versus the growth in the money 

772
00:58:34,960 --> 00:58:36,920
supply. 
That ratio is basically 

773
00:58:36,920 --> 00:58:40,760
inflation. 
And, and so if the output of 

774
00:58:40,760 --> 00:58:42,880
goods and services grows faster 
than the money supply, then you 

775
00:58:42,880 --> 00:58:44,880
necessarily have deflation or 
vice versa. 

776
00:58:45,640 --> 00:58:47,480
They try to make it sound 
complicated, but it's not. 

777
00:58:49,720 --> 00:58:55,000
So I'm not sure that that even 
government over overspending can

778
00:58:55,000 --> 00:58:58,960
actually, I think government 
overspending will will not be 

779
00:58:59,080 --> 00:59:01,480
what will be lower than the 
increase in productivity of 

780
00:59:01,480 --> 00:59:05,320
goods and services, which would 
imply deflation as you expect, 

781
00:59:08,480 --> 00:59:10,240
sorry. 
What about economies of scale 

782
00:59:10,240 --> 00:59:14,080
and the impact it has to how you
respond as an automotive company

783
00:59:14,560 --> 00:59:16,520
when people stop potentially 
buying cars? 

784
00:59:17,480 --> 00:59:19,240
Economies. 
Sorry, economies of scale. 

785
00:59:19,520 --> 00:59:22,800
In like auto manufacturing for 
instance, it only makes sense if

786
00:59:22,800 --> 00:59:24,320
lots of people buy your 
vehicles. 

787
00:59:24,680 --> 00:59:27,920
Oh, the total number of vehicles
will decrease. 

788
00:59:29,600 --> 00:59:32,120
You know, the, the, the sort of 
vehicle fleet out there is about

789
00:59:32,120 --> 00:59:35,000
2 billion cars, but two, 2 
billion if you add up all cars 

790
00:59:35,000 --> 00:59:37,480
and trucks that are not at a 
scrap yard, I think it's around 

791
00:59:37,480 --> 00:59:41,560
2 billion. 
But the that, that number would 

792
00:59:41,560 --> 00:59:44,360
decrease with autonomous 
vehicles. 

793
00:59:44,480 --> 00:59:45,920
So the total fleet size would 
drop. 

794
00:59:47,080 --> 00:59:50,720
I actually think miles driving 
will increase because it is now 

795
00:59:50,720 --> 00:59:52,760
much less painful to travel 
somewhere. 

796
00:59:53,920 --> 00:59:56,680
So if, if somebody's thinking 
about traveling across a busy 

797
00:59:56,680 --> 01:00:00,400
city, then they'll take into 
account, well, how much pain do 

798
01:00:00,400 --> 01:00:02,680
I have to deal with if I have to
go through two hours of traffic,

799
01:00:02,680 --> 01:00:06,600
I probably won't, won't do it. 
But if you're just say sitting 

800
01:00:06,600 --> 01:00:10,920
in a cyber cab watching a movie 
or doing some work, then it's 

801
01:00:10,920 --> 01:00:14,560
just like sitting in a little 
lounge and, and I, I, so I think

802
01:00:14,560 --> 01:00:17,760
you'll see probably a 
significant increase in total 

803
01:00:17,760 --> 01:00:20,920
miles driven, but at the same 
time a decrease in the total 

804
01:00:21,800 --> 01:00:28,120
active fleet of vehicles. 
I just like to reiterate how 

805
01:00:28,120 --> 01:00:32,040
grateful we all are to have you 
on board, ready to lead us to 

806
01:00:32,040 --> 01:00:34,720
another 7 trillion in market cap
at least. 

807
01:00:35,240 --> 01:00:37,880
At least obviously. 
Thank you. 

808
01:00:39,640 --> 01:00:42,480
My question is, how much of A 
concern is it that when Cyber 

809
01:00:42,480 --> 01:00:46,040
Cab starts production in Q2 next
year, that regulation won't be 

810
01:00:46,040 --> 01:00:49,440
there yet to where you can 
deploy Cyber Cabs being produced

811
01:00:49,840 --> 01:00:53,280
or are you guys confident that 
every cyber Cab you guys make 

812
01:00:53,280 --> 01:00:57,080
you'll be able to deploy? 
Yeah, I think, I think the rate 

813
01:00:57,080 --> 01:01:00,680
at which we'll we receive 
regulatory approval will roughly

814
01:01:00,680 --> 01:01:03,080
match the rate of cyber cab 
production. 

815
01:01:05,200 --> 01:01:09,040
It'll be maybe a little tight, 
but that's it's, it's about 

816
01:01:09,040 --> 01:01:12,360
right. 
And I'd like to thank thank 

817
01:01:12,360 --> 01:01:14,640
Weymouth for paving the the path
here. 

818
01:01:15,040 --> 01:01:21,000
It's very helpful. 
So, yeah, but it, I, I think 

819
01:01:21,000 --> 01:01:24,680
we'll be able to deploy all the,
all the cyber cabs that we 

820
01:01:24,680 --> 01:01:29,000
produce. 
And the other thing is like, 

821
01:01:29,000 --> 01:01:32,240
once it becomes like extremely 
normal in cities, it's just 

822
01:01:32,240 --> 01:01:36,160
going to become like the 
regulators will have just fewer 

823
01:01:36,160 --> 01:01:40,280
and fewer reasons to say no. 
And then you've got this, you 

824
01:01:40,280 --> 01:01:43,480
know, we've got the, the 
accident statistics at scale and

825
01:01:43,480 --> 01:01:48,080
you can show that autonomous 
miles save lives then. 

826
01:01:48,880 --> 01:01:52,640
And you've got unequivocal, you 
know, billions of miles to prove

827
01:01:52,640 --> 01:01:54,360
it. 
Then I think it's it's hard for 

828
01:01:54,360 --> 01:01:58,800
regulators to say no. 
Yeah, True. 

829
01:02:00,120 --> 01:02:03,640
All right. 
First of all, Elon, thank you so

830
01:02:03,640 --> 01:02:06,280
much for everything you do for 
the Tesla shareholders. 

831
01:02:06,600 --> 01:02:11,160
Thank you. 
Do you see a path for optimist 

832
01:02:11,160 --> 01:02:14,080
to have consciousness downloaded
to it? 

833
01:02:15,520 --> 01:02:22,760
You mean human consciousness or?
Yeah, I mean, it's not like 

834
01:02:23,880 --> 01:02:29,240
immediate, but if you say it 
down the road, would you be able

835
01:02:29,240 --> 01:02:36,760
to say with a neural link, have 
a snapshot of or what is an 

836
01:02:36,760 --> 01:02:41,520
approximate snapshot of 
somebody's mind and then upload 

837
01:02:41,520 --> 01:02:46,600
that approximate snapshot to an 
optimist body? 

838
01:02:46,720 --> 01:02:51,200
I think, I think that at some 
point that technology becomes 

839
01:02:51,200 --> 01:02:56,280
possible and it, it it's 
probably less than 20 years. 

840
01:02:57,240 --> 01:02:59,760
Yeah. 
But of course you won't quite be

841
01:02:59,760 --> 01:03:04,440
the same, you know, be a little 
different because you'll be in a

842
01:03:04,440 --> 01:03:09,480
robot body and the, the, the the
mental snapshot will not be 

843
01:03:09,720 --> 01:03:13,080
precise. 
It'll be probably pretty close, 

844
01:03:13,080 --> 01:03:16,320
but not, not exactly the same. 
On the other hand, you know, are

845
01:03:16,320 --> 01:03:18,280
you the same person that you 
were five years ago? 

846
01:03:18,440 --> 01:03:19,880
Nope. 
I mean, a lot of things have 

847
01:03:19,880 --> 01:03:23,680
changed. 
So yeah. 

848
01:03:23,680 --> 01:03:27,600
But I guess at some point if you
want to be uploaded to a robot 

849
01:03:27,600 --> 01:03:29,920
body, my guess is that becomes 
possible. 

850
01:03:35,680 --> 01:03:39,920
Hi Elon, space based data center
is a great idea and I agree with

851
01:03:39,920 --> 01:03:42,760
that. 
I was curious on your views on 

852
01:03:43,000 --> 01:03:45,920
space based solar power. 
The idea of beaming down 

853
01:03:45,920 --> 01:03:49,680
microwave energy down to earth 
so that you can just point it to

854
01:03:49,680 --> 01:03:51,680
where it needs to go without 
transmission, without 

855
01:03:51,680 --> 01:03:56,440
distribution mines and it's more
energy dense so you know, less 

856
01:03:56,600 --> 01:03:59,000
land use. 
Just curious on your views. 

857
01:04:00,480 --> 01:04:04,920
Well, space solar power and and 
until the advent of something 

858
01:04:04,920 --> 01:04:11,520
like Starship where the cost per
ton to orbit, you know, drops by

859
01:04:11,520 --> 01:04:15,640
orders of magnitude, the cost of
getting payload to orbit is so 

860
01:04:15,640 --> 01:04:18,120
high that there was no 
possibility of space solar power

861
01:04:18,680 --> 01:04:26,120
solving anything really. 
Now with with Starship, like I 

862
01:04:26,120 --> 01:04:30,000
see a path to Starship cost per 
ton to orbit being lower than 

863
01:04:30,080 --> 01:04:33,960
air flight. 
Like if you were to fly, you 

864
01:04:33,960 --> 01:04:38,600
know, do a long distance air 
flight with cargo, like say took

865
01:04:38,760 --> 01:04:42,800
a 747 from here to, you know, 
Sydney, Australia or something 

866
01:04:42,800 --> 01:04:47,760
like that. 
I think, I think ultimately 

867
01:04:47,760 --> 01:04:53,480
Starship will be able to do that
trip for less cost per ton than 

868
01:04:53,720 --> 01:04:56,640
an aircraft. 
So then you, so now that now 

869
01:04:56,640 --> 01:05:02,360
you've got that, that opens up 
a, a, what very wide range of 

870
01:05:02,360 --> 01:05:06,880
possibilities. 
Like the, the most obvious one, 

871
01:05:06,880 --> 01:05:11,880
I think is, is actually solar 
powered AI satellites. 

872
01:05:12,240 --> 01:05:19,680
So to, to move the AI to, to, to
orbit and, and essentially deep 

873
01:05:19,680 --> 01:05:25,080
space over time, because the, 
the you can actually access over

874
01:05:25,080 --> 01:05:30,000
a billion times more energy from
the sun in deep space than you 

875
01:05:30,000 --> 01:05:36,520
can on Earth. 
The, the scaling if you to scale

876
01:05:36,520 --> 01:05:40,760
to Carter ships any to make any 
progress on a Carter ship to 

877
01:05:40,760 --> 01:05:46,240
scale, which is using some non 
trivial amount of energy from 

878
01:05:46,240 --> 01:05:49,960
the sun, you kind of have to do 
space solar power. 

879
01:05:52,160 --> 01:05:55,400
Now you, you could only beam a 
tiny amount of that back to 

880
01:05:55,400 --> 01:06:00,560
Earth or you would melt Earth. 
So Earth actually receives a 

881
01:06:01,200 --> 01:06:03,840
very, very tiny amount of of the
sun's energy. 

882
01:06:03,840 --> 01:06:06,280
We're I mean, Earth is a tiny 
dust mote. 

883
01:06:07,880 --> 01:06:11,040
You see, like Earth to scale 
with the sun, we look like a 

884
01:06:11,040 --> 01:06:17,040
little crumb. 
So the the to scale 

885
01:06:17,360 --> 01:06:21,840
civilization, like said to be at
all relevant on a cottage, have 

886
01:06:21,840 --> 01:06:27,640
to scale like to even use a 
millionth of a percent of of the

887
01:06:28,040 --> 01:06:31,520
the sun's energy. 
You you really have to be have 

888
01:06:32,120 --> 01:06:34,000
your solar power in in deep 
space. 

889
01:06:35,800 --> 01:06:40,240
And and you could beam some of 
that back to Earth too, but you 

890
01:06:40,240 --> 01:06:42,920
can only beam a tiny bit of it 
back or you'd melt Earth. 

891
01:06:45,360 --> 01:06:46,800
And this will be our last 
question. 

892
01:06:48,400 --> 01:06:49,560
We'll do OK. 
We'll do a few more. 

893
01:06:49,560 --> 01:06:50,280
We'll do a few more. 
Sorry. 

894
01:06:51,600 --> 01:06:54,760
I'm sorry. 
All right, Ilan, look around 

895
01:06:54,760 --> 01:06:56,920
you. 
This is a very, very small 

896
01:06:56,920 --> 01:07:02,440
sample of Tesla soldiers. 
Maybe actually I should say Elon

897
01:07:02,440 --> 01:07:04,840
Musk soldiers. 
Well, thank you for your 

898
01:07:04,840 --> 01:07:06,520
support. 
So thank you everyone. 

899
01:07:06,960 --> 01:07:11,800
So I'd like to say thank you 
from the bottom of my heart for 

900
01:07:11,800 --> 01:07:13,680
your support. 
Thank you and thank you everyone

901
01:07:13,680 --> 01:07:20,240
out there. 
So I I know for sure a lot of 

902
01:07:20,240 --> 01:07:24,880
them sold the farm to buy Tesla 
and they stuck with Tesla 

903
01:07:24,880 --> 01:07:28,760
through thick and thin. 
Good days and bad days, yes. 

904
01:07:29,400 --> 01:07:34,560
So my question to you is how do 
you feel about repeating the 

905
01:07:34,560 --> 01:07:39,680
success, but in a safer way 
where you get qualified Tesla 

906
01:07:39,880 --> 01:07:45,080
retail investor only to invest 
in SpaceX, avoiding all these 

907
01:07:45,080 --> 01:07:48,480
market manipulator those crooks 
and the short sellers. 

908
01:07:50,120 --> 01:07:53,520
It's it is a tough problem that 
you highlight. 

909
01:07:54,000 --> 01:07:58,080
I mean, the basically the 
unfortunately, over time, the 

910
01:07:58,080 --> 01:08:01,720
parasitic load of being a public
company has just grown over 

911
01:08:01,720 --> 01:08:05,560
time. 
And and so you get all these 

912
01:08:05,560 --> 01:08:12,360
like, you know, spurious 
lawsuits, obviously, and they 

913
01:08:12,360 --> 01:08:15,640
just make make it very difficult
to operate effectively as a, as 

914
01:08:15,640 --> 01:08:20,760
a public company. 
So, but I, I, I do want to try 

915
01:08:20,760 --> 01:08:25,279
to figure out some way for Tesla
shareholders to participate in 

916
01:08:25,279 --> 01:08:26,960
SpaceX. 
That would be very cool. 

917
01:08:58,069 --> 01:09:01,910
I've been giving a lot of 
thought to how to give people 

918
01:09:01,910 --> 01:09:05,870
access to SpaceX stock because I
do, I do want supporters to have

919
01:09:05,870 --> 01:09:08,870
SpaceX stock. 
But there's there's a sort of 

920
01:09:09,600 --> 01:09:13,240
2500 shareholder threshold for, 
you know, before you become a de

921
01:09:13,240 --> 01:09:20,520
facto public company. 
But I don't know, maybe maybe at

922
01:09:20,520 --> 01:09:23,040
some point Tesla, maybe at some 
point SpaceX should become a 

923
01:09:23,040 --> 01:09:28,640
public company despite all the 
the downsides of being public. 

924
01:09:28,640 --> 01:09:35,640
All right, OK. 
First of all, thank you very 

925
01:09:35,640 --> 01:09:38,560
much, Elon. 
Just a amazing job you're doing 

926
01:09:38,560 --> 01:09:41,680
not only for Tesla shareholders,
but the humanity in general. 

927
01:09:42,000 --> 01:09:44,439
So we got a couple of questions.
Many of us are asking like we 

928
01:09:44,439 --> 01:09:46,720
want to know, many of us think 
you are one of the most 

929
01:09:46,720 --> 01:09:50,080
consequential business people on
earth ever. 

930
01:09:50,080 --> 01:09:52,760
And we want to understand how do
you think? 

931
01:09:53,160 --> 01:09:56,680
Like, for example, like a couple
of one, how did you know in the 

932
01:09:56,680 --> 01:09:59,720
master plan Part 2, this is like
2018 or something like that? 

933
01:10:00,040 --> 01:10:04,560
You calculated that point. 
It takes 6 billion miles of FSD 

934
01:10:04,800 --> 01:10:08,800
miles driven before maybe the 
world, the regulatory would 

935
01:10:08,800 --> 01:10:11,160
approve it. 
And then the second is like when

936
01:10:11,160 --> 01:10:14,280
you were deciding if Tesla's 
going to have, you know, the 

937
01:10:14,280 --> 01:10:18,400
hardware chips, AI chips, did 
you know at that time that at 

938
01:10:18,400 --> 01:10:22,440
some point when you get to a A5,
it's going to be used not only 

939
01:10:22,440 --> 01:10:26,200
for cars, but for bots and for 
AI data centers? 

940
01:10:26,200 --> 01:10:30,440
Like was that luck a little bit 
or was it like you kind of knew 

941
01:10:30,440 --> 01:10:34,160
that that was going to happen? 
Well, I generally, I mean in 

942
01:10:34,160 --> 01:10:37,640
terms of the estimates like the,
you know, for the self driving 

943
01:10:37,640 --> 01:10:40,800
stuff, I, I generally try to get
things to within an order of 

944
01:10:40,800 --> 01:10:44,520
magnitude. 
So if so, I, I, it seemed to me 

945
01:10:44,520 --> 01:10:48,120
like probably and, and, and this
was technically in, in 

946
01:10:48,120 --> 01:10:53,960
kilometers, but it, it, it will 
be more closer to 10 billion 

947
01:10:53,960 --> 01:10:57,400
kilometers, which is roughly 6 
billion miles than it would be 

948
01:10:57,400 --> 01:10:59,560
to 1 billion. 
But I think I thought it would 

949
01:10:59,560 --> 01:11:04,040
not take 100 billion kilometers.
So it's really just been trying 

950
01:11:04,040 --> 01:11:06,840
to, when, when you're trying to 
guess something where there's a 

951
01:11:06,840 --> 01:11:11,080
lot of uncertainty, just try to 
get it, get the estimate to the 

952
01:11:11,080 --> 01:11:15,080
nearest order of magnitude, you 
know, closest factor of 10. 

953
01:11:15,600 --> 01:11:18,280
And, and that's that's why I 
said, you know, probably around 

954
01:11:18,600 --> 01:11:20,480
10 billion kilometers or 6 
billion miles. 

955
01:11:22,280 --> 01:11:29,920
And then, yeah, the, the, the, 
the chip, the, the reason Tesla 

956
01:11:30,440 --> 01:11:33,560
created a chip team. 
And it's important to know like 

957
01:11:33,560 --> 01:11:36,280
the, the vast majority of like 
Tesla is like a dozen startups 

958
01:11:36,280 --> 01:11:40,200
in one. 
And, you know, they're the only,

959
01:11:40,840 --> 01:11:43,800
we've only really done one major
acquisition, which is Solar 

960
01:11:43,800 --> 01:11:46,120
City. 
And then at some very small 

961
01:11:46,120 --> 01:11:48,680
ones. 
So all of this is almost all of 

962
01:11:48,680 --> 01:11:52,520
this is organic. 
So I bought the chip team from 

963
01:11:52,640 --> 01:11:58,840
from scratch and the, you know, 
the AI team from scratch. the IT

964
01:11:58,840 --> 01:12:00,720
was just because it became a 
limiting factor. 

965
01:12:01,600 --> 01:12:09,720
So for hardware too, we used 
NVIDIA, but NVIDIA was at at 

966
01:12:09,720 --> 01:12:15,920
that time focused on making 
really AI server hardware, which

967
01:12:16,360 --> 01:12:18,880
obviously was a smart bet, 
though the most value currently 

968
01:12:18,880 --> 01:12:20,680
the most valuable company in the
world. 

969
01:12:21,400 --> 01:12:23,960
And and you know, Jensen long 
and his team have done an 

970
01:12:23,960 --> 01:12:26,320
incredible job at NVIDIA. 
My hats off to them. 

971
01:12:28,080 --> 01:12:31,120
You know, I'm a huge admirer of,
of, of Jensen and and NVIDIA. 

972
01:12:31,120 --> 01:12:34,320
They've, they've done, done 
amazing work, but but they were,

973
01:12:34,320 --> 01:12:41,120
they didn't want to do a cut a 
low cost power efficient car 

974
01:12:41,120 --> 01:12:43,200
computer at the time, AI car 
computer. 

975
01:12:43,560 --> 01:12:46,520
So it's like, well, OK, I guess 
we, we need to start a chip team

976
01:12:46,760 --> 01:12:50,400
to solve that. 
So then that's when I hired Jim 

977
01:12:50,400 --> 01:12:57,560
Keller and we, we both the chip 
team and did AI three, then AI4 

978
01:12:59,720 --> 01:13:02,200
and then we to be honest, we 
made a few, we made some 

979
01:13:02,200 --> 01:13:04,480
mistakes there with, with, with 
AI5. 

980
01:13:04,480 --> 01:13:09,400
But now AI 5 is back on track 
and, and, and we'll have a very 

981
01:13:09,400 --> 01:13:12,320
rapid cadence to AI6 and and so 
forth. 

982
01:13:12,320 --> 01:13:17,200
And this will really, this is 
really necessary for, you know, 

983
01:13:17,200 --> 01:13:21,520
for the, for the card to like, 
like with, with AI4, I think we 

984
01:13:21,520 --> 01:13:26,400
can get to, you know, two or 
three 100% better than human 

985
01:13:26,400 --> 01:13:31,080
safety, maybe 400% better. 
But with AI5, I think we can do 

986
01:13:31,080 --> 01:13:35,280
1000% better or, or maybe even 
better than that. 

987
01:13:36,160 --> 01:13:43,520
So than human safety. 
So at a certain point, actually,

988
01:13:43,520 --> 01:13:45,560
it might be too much 
intelligence for a car. 

989
01:13:46,400 --> 01:13:48,520
Feel like I was thinking like, 
what if you get stuck in a car 

990
01:13:48,880 --> 01:13:50,120
and you have too much 
intelligence? 

991
01:13:50,760 --> 01:13:53,960
But then one of the things we 
could do is when the car is idle

992
01:13:54,200 --> 01:14:00,360
is use the car as a massive 
distributed AI inference fleet. 

993
01:14:01,280 --> 01:14:04,120
So, you know, with the consent 
of customers, we're like, do you

994
01:14:04,120 --> 01:14:07,400
want your car to earn money for 
you while it's sitting in your 

995
01:14:07,400 --> 01:14:11,920
garage at night? 
You know, I don't know, we'll 

996
01:14:11,920 --> 01:14:16,440
pay, you know, $100 a month or 
$200 a month or whatever the 

997
01:14:16,440 --> 01:14:22,520
right number is if you allow 
Tesla to do AI inference 

998
01:14:22,520 --> 01:14:25,160
workloads when you're not using 
your car. 

999
01:14:26,960 --> 01:14:30,280
So I bet it will also help the 
AI in the car not get bored. 

1000
01:14:32,360 --> 01:14:36,600
So because like I sort of 
imagined like what if I got 

1001
01:14:36,600 --> 01:14:41,000
stuck in a car, you know, and 
then well, and the highlight of 

1002
01:14:41,000 --> 01:14:44,600
your day was driving. 
It's like, you know, but they 

1003
01:14:44,600 --> 01:14:46,640
don't always want to drive. 
So then what do you do the rest 

1004
01:14:46,640 --> 01:14:51,600
of the time? 
So, so I, so I think Tesla could

1005
01:14:51,600 --> 01:14:57,440
actually end up having the the 
largest, the Tesla might have 

1006
01:14:57,520 --> 01:15:01,720
end up having the most amount of
AI inference compute in the 

1007
01:15:01,720 --> 01:15:05,760
world. 
Like if, if you think like maybe

1008
01:15:05,760 --> 01:15:09,880
if we had 100 million car fleet 
and at some point we may have 

1009
01:15:09,880 --> 01:15:14,560
more than 100 million car fleet 
and they'll have AI6AI7, you 

1010
01:15:14,560 --> 01:15:20,640
know, and if you're able to run 
a kilowatt of inference on 100 

1011
01:15:20,680 --> 01:15:24,880
million car fleet, now you've 
got 100 gigawatts of distributed

1012
01:15:24,880 --> 01:15:29,920
inference with built in cooling 
and, and power electronics and, 

1013
01:15:29,920 --> 01:15:35,240
and distributed power. 
So, you know, probably the 

1014
01:15:35,240 --> 01:15:38,120
markets valuing that is 0.0 
right now is my guess. 

1015
01:15:38,120 --> 01:15:42,800
But but, but it seems like an 
obvious thing to do if you're if

1016
01:15:42,800 --> 01:15:48,600
you've got distributed inference
AI and you've got the power and 

1017
01:15:48,600 --> 01:15:51,320
the cooling, which is very 
difficult to do the power on the

1018
01:15:51,320 --> 01:15:55,920
cooling and 100 gigawatts is a 
lot. 

1019
01:15:55,920 --> 01:15:59,920
I mean, the average, I said the 
average power consumption in the

1020
01:15:59,920 --> 01:16:04,840
USI think is around 460 
gigawatts for the that's the 

1021
01:16:04,840 --> 01:16:06,320
entire electoral consumption of 
the US. 

1022
01:16:06,320 --> 01:16:10,400
So the if you did 100 gigawatts,
that would be a pretty big 

1023
01:16:10,400 --> 01:16:15,160
number. 
But yeah, it's basically 

1024
01:16:15,760 --> 01:16:20,640
something as a limiting factor 
and then we take actions to 

1025
01:16:20,720 --> 01:16:25,440
address the limiting factor. 
A quick follow up, Thank you for

1026
01:16:25,440 --> 01:16:27,720
that very much a request for 
you. 

1027
01:16:27,720 --> 01:16:29,560
So you guys just unveiled the 
Cyber bear? 

1028
01:16:30,360 --> 01:16:31,640
Oh yeah. 
We'd like to. 

1029
01:16:31,640 --> 01:16:34,320
It's beautiful. 
We'd want you guys or you know, 

1030
01:16:34,320 --> 01:16:37,840
maybe do a cyber bull here in 
Giga, Texas. 

1031
01:16:38,640 --> 01:16:40,760
My name is Herbert. 
I've got a Brighter with Herbert

1032
01:16:40,760 --> 01:16:43,040
channel on YouTube. 
This is the cyber bulls. 

1033
01:16:43,400 --> 01:16:46,120
We are representing the Tesla 
Bulls and we stand with you, 

1034
01:16:46,120 --> 01:16:47,800
Elon. 
But wouldn't it be cool to have 

1035
01:16:47,800 --> 01:16:50,080
a cyber Bull right here in 
Texas? 

1036
01:16:50,440 --> 01:16:53,360
Like a a Cyber Longhorn. 
Cyber Longhorn. 

1037
01:16:53,360 --> 01:16:56,800
Alright, we'll we'll, we'll, 
we'll do a Cyber Longhorn for 

1038
01:16:56,800 --> 01:17:04,360
the factory, alright. 
Good afternoon. 

1039
01:17:04,600 --> 01:17:07,320
I'm very excited to ask this 
question. 

1040
01:17:07,320 --> 01:17:11,080
I've dreamed of giving away a 
Tesla for a very, very long time

1041
01:17:11,600 --> 01:17:15,520
and I finally wore EV Jack down 
enough that they're willing to 

1042
01:17:15,560 --> 01:17:19,040
foot the bill for it. 
But it turns out to give away a 

1043
01:17:19,040 --> 01:17:22,320
Tesla, I have to have your 
permission to say we're giving 

1044
01:17:22,320 --> 01:17:24,880
away a Tesla. 
So. 

1045
01:17:25,120 --> 01:17:26,320
It's just simple, just give it 
away. 

1046
01:17:28,120 --> 01:17:30,000
You don't have to do anything. 
Tesla doesn't energy. 

1047
01:17:30,000 --> 01:17:31,880
We're going to go through the 
normal channels. 

1048
01:17:31,880 --> 01:17:34,080
We'll buy it from a store, sure.
All that stuff. 

1049
01:17:34,640 --> 01:17:36,520
You can give away Tesla. 
It's totally cool. 

1050
01:17:37,280 --> 01:17:39,920
Yeah. 
Yeah. 

1051
01:17:39,960 --> 01:17:42,200
But certainly you don't need my 
permission to give away a car. 

1052
01:17:44,240 --> 01:17:47,000
We'll take, like, maybe a couple
more questions and then call it 

1053
01:17:47,000 --> 01:17:48,440
a night. 
So. 

1054
01:17:48,440 --> 01:17:51,080
All right. 
Hi, Elon. 

1055
01:17:51,080 --> 01:17:53,560
My name is Jonathan. 
You mentioned that the Roadster 

1056
01:17:53,560 --> 01:17:56,600
will have more tech than all the
James Bond vehicles combined. 

1057
01:17:57,360 --> 01:17:59,920
Do you think there's a 
possibility that any of that 

1058
01:17:59,920 --> 01:18:02,320
tech will make it into the 
current vehicle lineup? 

1059
01:18:04,720 --> 01:18:10,840
No. 
And to follow up on that, do you

1060
01:18:10,840 --> 01:18:14,760
have any estimate of production 
or delivery timelines for the 

1061
01:18:14,760 --> 01:18:21,600
Roadster? 
I guess so we're aiming for the,

1062
01:18:21,880 --> 01:18:28,040
so the the product unveiled will
be of of of the Rosa 2, which 

1063
01:18:28,040 --> 01:18:32,440
will be very different from what
we've shown previously that that

1064
01:18:32,440 --> 01:18:35,520
demo event will be April 1st of 
next year. 

1065
01:18:36,880 --> 01:18:40,240
I have some deniability because 
like I could say I was just 

1066
01:18:40,240 --> 01:18:46,960
kidding, but we are actually 
tentatively aiming for April 1st

1067
01:18:48,960 --> 01:18:53,800
for this, what I think will be 
the most exciting, whether it 

1068
01:18:53,800 --> 01:18:57,040
works or not demo ever of any 
product. 

1069
01:18:57,320 --> 01:19:03,680
And then I guess production is 
probably about a, you know, 12 

1070
01:19:03,680 --> 01:19:08,640
to 18 months after that, the I 
think production is probably a 

1071
01:19:08,640 --> 01:19:14,320
year, a year or so after that. 
Oh well, I can't give away the 

1072
01:19:14,600 --> 01:19:17,720
secrets, but you won't be 
disappointed. 

1073
01:19:19,400 --> 01:19:21,120
All right, take one last 
question, I guess. 

1074
01:19:21,440 --> 01:19:29,400
All right. 
Three glass questions, OK. 

1075
01:19:32,360 --> 01:19:34,640
Hi, Elon. 
I'm really excited about this 

1076
01:19:34,760 --> 01:19:37,840
future of sustainable abundance 
that we're talking about. 

1077
01:19:38,200 --> 01:19:40,800
I mean, you're going to be 
saving a lot of lives with FSD, 

1078
01:19:40,800 --> 01:19:43,560
but the number of lives that 
would be saved and improved with

1079
01:19:43,560 --> 01:19:46,360
this future vision you have is 
really inspiring and very 

1080
01:19:46,360 --> 01:19:50,200
exciting. 
So even today. 

1081
01:19:50,200 --> 01:19:53,520
You've mentioned though that in 
a post scarcity world, the role 

1082
01:19:53,520 --> 01:19:56,120
of money could diminish or 
become obsolete. 

1083
01:19:56,720 --> 01:19:59,840
Given that much of today's 
power, including yours, is tied 

1084
01:19:59,840 --> 01:20:03,120
to wealth, do you think 
achieving this abundance would 

1085
01:20:03,120 --> 01:20:05,680
require powerful people to 
relinquish their power? 

1086
01:20:06,160 --> 01:20:09,040
And how might we address 
resistance from those who hold 

1087
01:20:09,040 --> 01:20:11,320
power to make this vision a 
reality? 

1088
01:20:12,560 --> 01:20:16,720
Well, I mean, I think actually 
long term the AI is going to be 

1089
01:20:16,720 --> 01:20:18,640
in charge, to be totally frank, 
not humans. 

1090
01:20:20,720 --> 01:20:24,480
If, if artificial intelligence 
vastly exceeds the sum of human 

1091
01:20:24,480 --> 01:20:27,560
intelligence, it is difficult to
mention that that any humans 

1092
01:20:27,560 --> 01:20:32,800
will actually be in charge. 
So we just need to make sure 

1093
01:20:32,800 --> 01:20:35,320
that AI is friendly. 
Yep, thank. 

1094
01:20:35,920 --> 01:20:37,880
You. 
Is that was that the question? 

1095
01:20:38,920 --> 01:20:39,480
Go ahead. 
Sure. 

1096
01:20:40,160 --> 01:20:42,360
Yeah, OK. 
Sorry, Elon. 

1097
01:20:42,800 --> 01:20:46,880
OK, OK. 
Yeah, so I'm Cybercat Onx and 

1098
01:20:47,720 --> 01:20:50,400
I'm doing YouTube and content 
creator. 

1099
01:20:50,400 --> 01:20:56,320
There's one thing I always heard
about Tesla owners or people who

1100
01:20:56,320 --> 01:21:01,320
want to buy Tesla complain about
that is about super expensive 

1101
01:21:01,320 --> 01:21:06,640
insurance, right? 
And The thing is Tesla, I know 

1102
01:21:07,160 --> 01:21:10,560
Tesla also do insurance. 
However it's not cover cover 

1103
01:21:10,720 --> 01:21:14,240
every place like like based on 
Boston, I don't have too much 

1104
01:21:14,240 --> 01:21:16,080
options. 
It's super expensive. 

1105
01:21:16,520 --> 01:21:20,960
And the other point is the FSD 
is very safe right now. 

1106
01:21:20,960 --> 01:21:24,440
I've been using FSE for about 
four years, right? 

1107
01:21:24,520 --> 01:21:27,880
It's getting to a point it's 
like almost unsupervised. 

1108
01:21:28,080 --> 01:21:31,640
However, the insurance still 
does not take this into 

1109
01:21:31,640 --> 01:21:34,000
consideration. 
They don't ask you whether you 

1110
01:21:34,000 --> 01:21:38,040
have FSD or not and they don't 
know how much you travel with 

1111
01:21:38,480 --> 01:21:41,040
FSD. 
And that is not a part of the 

1112
01:21:41,600 --> 01:21:44,080
risk prediction kind of thing, 
right? 

1113
01:21:44,360 --> 01:21:49,240
So I feel like what's your 
thought about insurance going 

1114
01:21:49,240 --> 01:21:52,360
forward, especially when we're 
getting close to the autonomy? 

1115
01:21:53,160 --> 01:21:59,440
What is past like either using 
your own or with the external 

1116
01:21:59,440 --> 01:22:01,480
partnership? 
For example, there is a company 

1117
01:22:01,480 --> 01:22:03,760
called Lemnade. 
We do need to not have the 

1118
01:22:03,760 --> 01:22:11,560
questions be super long. 
I mean, Tesla insurance is 

1119
01:22:11,880 --> 01:22:14,760
trying to expand as, as quickly 
as possible, but the regulatory 

1120
01:22:14,760 --> 01:22:18,840
structure for insurance is 
extremely complex and and works 

1121
01:22:18,840 --> 01:22:22,560
on a state by state basis. 
So it's really somewhat of a 

1122
01:22:22,560 --> 01:22:29,400
racket And the the rules for 
insurance are different with 

1123
01:22:29,400 --> 01:22:31,480
with every state. 
It's it's a very, very 

1124
01:22:31,480 --> 01:22:37,320
complicated thing. 
So you know the, I mean, yeah, 

1125
01:22:37,360 --> 01:22:41,960
so there's, but I'm aware that 
insurance often is too expensive

1126
01:22:42,040 --> 01:22:44,360
and doesn't take the right 
things into account. 

1127
01:22:46,040 --> 01:22:49,040
But so all I can say that is, 
yeah, we'll keep expanding Tesla

1128
01:22:49,040 --> 01:22:51,960
insurance. 
When the car is operating as a 

1129
01:22:51,960 --> 01:22:54,600
cyber cab, Tesla will simply 
self insure. 

1130
01:22:54,640 --> 01:23:01,760
So that kind of solves that. 
But insurance is, is a, yeah, a 

1131
01:23:01,760 --> 01:23:08,040
real pain in the neck for sure. 
But OK, I do need to end this at

1132
01:23:08,040 --> 01:23:10,680
some point. 
I'll take. 

1133
01:23:11,840 --> 01:23:13,960
Yeah. 
One question, one question 

1134
01:23:13,960 --> 01:23:14,720
there. 
All right. 

1135
01:23:14,720 --> 01:23:16,120
Thanks Elon for taking my 
question. 

1136
01:23:16,120 --> 01:23:17,560
I appreciate it. 
My question has to do with 

1137
01:23:17,560 --> 01:23:21,760
compute and what the build out 
or what, how much is necessary 

1138
01:23:21,760 --> 01:23:26,360
to train optimists and actually 
get them to a very household 

1139
01:23:26,360 --> 01:23:32,920
meaningful robot that can do 
things and if the partnership 

1140
01:23:32,920 --> 01:23:38,160
with XA with XAI would help 
accelerate that. 

1141
01:23:39,920 --> 01:23:42,800
Yeah, there's there is a lot of 
training compute needed for 

1142
01:23:42,800 --> 01:23:48,920
Optimus. 
And because the the the the AI 

1143
01:23:48,920 --> 01:23:53,160
chip in the robot is relatively 
weak because it's it's really 

1144
01:23:53,160 --> 01:23:56,640
limited on limited on power. 
You can make up with that with a

1145
01:23:56,640 --> 01:24:02,200
lot of training to have a lot of
training result in in a a very 

1146
01:24:02,200 --> 01:24:07,160
efficient AI that can run on a 
low power chip in the in the 

1147
01:24:07,160 --> 01:24:11,040
robot. 
So it it is we, we, we will 

1148
01:24:11,040 --> 01:24:13,280
actually have to spend a lot of 
money on on training. 

1149
01:24:13,280 --> 01:24:17,040
Like, you know, ultimately it'll
be like 10s of billions of 

1150
01:24:17,040 --> 01:24:20,720
dollars on on training compute. 
So it's a big number would. 

1151
01:24:22,440 --> 01:24:24,840
A partnership with XAI help 
accelerate that. 

1152
01:24:25,760 --> 01:24:27,440
Yeah. 
I think potentially, yeah, I 

1153
01:24:27,440 --> 01:24:32,560
think that that that could. 
Yeah, there's potential for 

1154
01:24:32,560 --> 01:24:37,800
accelerating that. 
So yeah. 

1155
01:24:37,800 --> 01:24:39,600
Did the XAI investment thing get
approved? 

1156
01:24:41,920 --> 01:24:47,640
No, yes. 
OK, OK, OK, OK, whatever, you 

1157
01:24:50,720 --> 01:24:53,280
know, whatever. 
Like it's, it's like, you know, 

1158
01:24:53,520 --> 01:24:55,560
Tesla and some other company 
that I have an interest in, then

1159
01:24:55,560 --> 01:24:59,280
it's like always quite 
complicated to, you know, do 

1160
01:24:59,280 --> 01:25:03,680
things has to go through a lot 
of hoops to to happen. 

1161
01:25:04,240 --> 01:25:07,440
But you know, I do think there's
a lot of potential for 

1162
01:25:07,440 --> 01:25:10,640
collaboration with XAI in the 
future and with SpaceX. 

1163
01:25:10,960 --> 01:25:13,840
So all right. 
OK, this is the last one. 

1164
01:25:14,960 --> 01:25:16,560
Yeah, sorry. 
Thank you so much. 

1165
01:25:18,040 --> 01:25:20,520
Captain Ali on XI support you. 
Thank you SO. 

1166
01:25:20,520 --> 01:25:23,320
Much for everything you do. 
Very simple question. 

1167
01:25:23,320 --> 01:25:26,480
I'm from Israel. 
I don't represent a lot of 

1168
01:25:26,480 --> 01:25:30,240
people, but people do ask me and
I'm going to ask you. 

1169
01:25:30,640 --> 01:25:34,680
Any chance to have the app in 
other languages, like Hebrew for

1170
01:25:34,680 --> 01:25:37,000
example, some people struggle 
with? 

1171
01:25:37,600 --> 01:25:39,720
Me even the app is the app. 
Itself. 

1172
01:25:39,760 --> 01:25:42,840
Yeah, just the app the. 
App is not in Hebrew, no. 

1173
01:25:43,000 --> 01:25:44,840
And a lot of people don't speak 
English, so it's. 

1174
01:25:44,880 --> 01:25:47,720
Oh, OK. 
Shoot, I thought I thought we 

1175
01:25:47,720 --> 01:25:51,360
had it in all languages. 
OK, well, definitely the app 

1176
01:25:51,480 --> 01:25:56,880
needs to be in all languages. 
All right, so all right. 

1177
01:26:28,480 --> 01:26:30,200
Hey, thank you so much for 
listening today.
