Everyone that owns a Tesla, owns Tesla shares or is interested in Tesla should read this interview.

It's eye-opening for many of you, I guarantee you!

"But then they showed up in a courtroom and they say, No, no, no, this is nothing but a driver assistance feature."

Two of these things (robotaxis and robots) currently have zero revenue and have multiple competitors further advanced than Tesla currently is (especially if you believe Lidar is a safety necessity)
Tesla Stock Gets a New Valuation. It’s Surprising.

Noble's valuation breaks down Tesla's worth into $18 for cars, $20 for battery storage, $30 for robo-taxis, and $12 for robots.

At least the ride hailing service does something. 🤪 The robot is likely human operated and not very good even at that. It’s pure pump and dump. There was a risible article in the WSJ that leant a credulous ear to his idiotic claims with almost no push back. And yet…the stock is up again today!

What the headlines didn’t say was that Q4 2025 sales outside of China were mostly made up by the new “cheapo” Model Y Standard, which starts at $39,990 in the US, but lists as low as $34,663 in Korea (implying $8,000 in losses after shipping fees).
Tesla's Q4 is Way Worse Than the Headlines
Tesla rammed through tons of cheap Model Ys in Asia and Europe during the last 2 months of 2025. Profit margins in Q4 2025 and this year should be razor-thin to negative.

This valuation seems much more realistic. The battery storage and charging businesses are valuable. The vaporware parts of the business not so much, and the car business lacks a pipeline of viable future products.

At this point, Tesla is essentially a religion. Investors aren’t deciding based on company results, but rather on whether the flock will lose faith. When Tesla loses that cultish magic, there will be a bloodbath, but not until that time.

Anyone remember roadster 2 with the "SpaceX Package?" "Plaid Plus Model S?"

JFC, why do people keep falling for this scam?

The "SpaceX Package" was going to be cold gas thrusters to improve handling and would require COPV canisters. The things that utterly destroy the vehicle when they fail.

Tesla is starting to get squeezed by competition in China...

... applying the same sales/export split seen in December 2024 (roughly 88% retail), Tesla likely sold around 86,000 units domestically last month. That puts the final 2025 domestic total closer to 618,000—a roughly 6% drop year-over-year

Nothing about worth per share.

$80 for all of Tesla sounds on the low side to me, but closer to reality than their current market capitalisation.

No parent wants those creepy robots in their home. The target audience is desperate young men who can’t get a date. Let’s be honest. $12 evaluation for the robots may be overstated.

How is the taxi business worth more than the car business?

It’s a fricken taxi business.

Taxi.

Uber makes half the revenue of Tesla, and it’s not as if Tesla is going to achieve a huge market share with its tightly contained, geofenced, two-person taxis.

A financial expert placed the value of a Tesla share at $80. It is currently trading at $455. That implies the company is worth $246 billion instead of $1.4 trillion.

But even that could be too high since half the value is based on products that don't exist yet and the company has lied about.

A lot of these drivers don't like that and give me the 🖕, so I just shrug my shoulders and smile while I drive off.

L and if I may say so OL. Someone’s in a death spiral. There is no way to come back from this. Once you are selling too few cars and at too great a loss it’s the same as the population death spiral. It just becomes easier not to buy the car/not to have the baby, and you can never hit replacement.

Hype and visionary leadership can sustain a stock for years, but eventually performance has to match expectations. If standard variants aren’t filling the gap, the market is starting to price in the risk that Elon’s magic has limits.
