rational products - Tesla

 

Despite saying for a long time Tesla's delivery figures are quite insignificant, I will say this. The fact that Tesla's sales are now negative for two years in a row tells us A LOT about the mainstream consumer. They're either terrible at product research or have been fed so much anti-EV and anti-Elon propaganda they've lost the ability to think rationally. And sure, Tesla could advertise more, I've said as much.

But all of the facts are freely available.

Tesla makes THE safest cars on the road which you would think would be a priority for most. The total cost of ownership numbers are far superior to "comparable" gas cars. The convenience of the app. Reliable charging. Software updates. A blast to drive. FSD. The list goes on.

Yet for some reason, millions of people globally are paying $40k+ for vehicles that are not a Tesla. Which in my opinion is a prime example of the negative impact of infowars and the media largely getting away with spewing nonsense to push a narrative. The data is telling me most people still lack the skills and/or desire to cut through the noise $TSLA




My wife just called—she’s out of town with our youngest daughter at a birthday party, and it’s 9°F outside. Wife: Can you unlock the Tesla? Our daughter drained my phone battery and I can’t get in the car. Me: Sure, I’m warming the interior, seats and steering wheel for you too! Wife: Thank you, I’ll let you know when we’re leaving. Me: No worries, I can see when the doors open and when the car starts moving. We are cities apart, and I did everything with my app from home!

THE TRILLION-DOLLAR QUESTION: WHY OPTIMUS CHANGES EVERYTHING Everyone understands cars are to Tesla what books were to Amazon: just the beginning. The real product walks on two legs and could generate what Elon calls "infinite revenue." Inside Tesla's Palo Alto headquarters, these 6-foot robots navigate offices alongside employees, sorting Legos, folding laundry, using power tools. Each task learned not through programming but by watching humans work. A machine that learns work by watching work. No coding, just show it once and it remembers forever. Morgan Stanley predicts humanoid robots will generate $7.5 trillion annually by 2050. Tesla's targeting one million units within 10 years. At $20,000 each, one Optimus could replace three human shifts, working 24/7/365. The labor economics alone justify everything. From a person in a robot costume in 2021 to robots performing choreographed fights at movie premieres in 2024. Three years from joke to functional prototype. Tesla's already on generation three. Optimus in factories means products without human injury. In hospitals, surgeries with perfect precision. On Mars, construction workers who don't need oxygen. Every human becomes a potential customer. Every task becomes automatable. Every limitation becomes optional. Sustainable transport freed us from fossil fuels. Optimus frees us from physical limitation itself. The biggest product ever might be underselling it. Source: WSJ


ELON MUSK: TESLA IS THE BIGGEST AI COMPANY “Tesla is already the biggest robot manufacturer in the world, because every car we make is a robot. And when you break it down to the fundamental elements, you've got batteries, power electronics, motors, gearboxes, you've got connectivity, you've got a vision-based AI.” Seeing cars as AI-powered robots represents a shift in how we view manufacturing. This perspective ties Tesla's core strengths directly to AI and robotics. It shows how existing vehicle technology sets the stage for advanced AI applications. Why it matters: Reframing cars as AI systems highlights Tesla's massive scale in real-world AI deployment, beyond just transportation.

2026 is shaping up to be the biggest year yet for every single one of ’s companies. Buckle up—humanity’s future accelerates HARD this year! 🚀🤖🧠 • Tesla: Widespread unsupervised Robotaxi fleets rolling out, Cybercab production ramping, Optimus V3 humanoid robots entering factories (and maybe homes soon). Autonomy and robotics go mainstream. • SpaceX: First uncrewed Starships launch to Mars, massive Starship flight cadence, potential blockbuster IPO. We’re literally becoming multi-planetary. • Neuralink: Shifting to high-volume brain implant production with fully automated surgeries. Restoring vision, mobility, and unlocking human potential at scale. • xAI: Pushing Grok and AI boundaries to accelerate scientific discovery—building the tools to understand the universe. • The Boring Company: Vegas Loop connects to the airport, new high-speed transit projects kicking off. Traffic becomes obsolete. • 𝕏: Evolving the everything app, empowering creators, and free speech platform for the world. Elon wasn’t kidding—this year changes everything. The future is here. What are you most excited for? 🔥


GOOD NEWS 🚨 TESLA HAS INVENTED HIGH-TECH CLEANLINESS "POLICE" TO ENSURE CLEAR VISION FOR FSD 🧹 Imagine trusting your life to a self-driving car, only to have its "vision" blurred by a microscopic film of grease invisible to the naked eye. Terrifying, right? Well, Tesla just revealed how they are eliminating that risk. On January 1, 2026, a new patent surfaced that exposes the extreme lengths the company goes to ensuring the "eyes" of its Autopilot are crystal clear. It’s not just quality control; it’s a high-tech fortress of solitude for windshields, designed to spot the invisible enemies of autonomy before a car ever rolls off the line.
