      Well Q1 deliveries shouldn't really be compared to prior quarters, since the automotive industry is highly cyclical and Q1 is always the lowest quarter. It is up on 2025 Q1 however. As far as Tesla capex splurge, there are good reasons for doing this now, not least the 100% depreciation in year 1. So I'm not really overly concerned about that decision. As to revenue, we are on the cusp of Cybercab rollout, and Robotaxis hold the promise of far eclipsing automotive revenue in the relatively near future, let alone the growth of Tesla Energy, because all those new Datacentres are going to need heaps of BESS to be able to guarantee that their ravenous energy requirements are not going to negatively affect their local grid.

      TeslaBoomerMama and Pejjy had a great discussion on YouTube discussing this scenario. Bottom line was that it's better for $Tsla shareholders to hold off selling their shares to participate in the IPO. The most likely scenario is that SpaceX IPOs around June 9th and bids for $TSLA much sooner thereafter than most people are thinking, the reason being to protect $Tsla from a possible hostile takeover. Existing Tesla shareholders would likely benefit from a takeover premium of between 20-40% (if they continue to hold $Tsla stock), whereas SpaceX shareholders would face dilution on a bid for $tsla.

      Hmm. Have to be careful when looking at Tesla's China sales. Remember that Shanghai is Tesla's export hub, serving Japan, Korea, Australia, NZ and now Canada and possibly some others. It can be misleading to look at China registrations for a particular month since for some months most of Shanghai's output is shipped off to other countries.

      Tesla Stock Falls. Why It's No Longer Getting a Boost from Oil-Price Spikes

      Tesla stock fell early Monday, along with most stocks, despite rising oil prices that, at one point, had given the electric vehicle maker a boost.Shares of Elon Musk's car company were down 2.3% at $393.48 in premarket trading, while S&P 500 and Dow Jones Industrial Average futures were both down about 1.1%.The move came as oil prices shot higher after the U.S. and Israel began military operations against Iran over the weekend. Benchmark U.S. crude prices were up 7.5% to $72.04 per barrel in early trading.In the past, Tesla stock would get a boost from spikes in oil prices, with higher gasoline prices driving buyers to check out all-electric options. That was at a time when electric-vehicle penetration of new-car sales was lower, though. Americans bought about 1.3 million cars in 2025, accounting for roughly 8% of all new car sales.Tesla stock might also be affected by weak Chinese EV sales. In February, XPeng delivered 15,256 cars, down 50% from last year. Li Auto delivered 26,421, d

      I believe the market is right to worry about AI disrupting software companies. One only has to glance at "Macrohard", Musk's not so subtly named vehicle to attack Microsoft as a case in point. Clearly Musk believes that AI will inevitably disrupt the software space and is positioning his AI efforts to be part of that disruption.

      Hmm, I can't help wondering whether Elon Musk's lawsuit against OpenAI is queering the pitch for this investment. Should Musk prevail, this would hit OpenAI and Microsoft badly and investing in XAI might be a better bet for Nvidia.

      No, this is not the reason that Tesla is "pivoting away from EVs". Chinese automakers are struggling because their business model is to sell low-priced EVs at low margin at volume, because they can't compete with Tesla up market. Tesla continues to make decent margins at these elevated price points. The reason Tesla is not so concerned about EVs is because it has other juicy alternatives to extract higher margins from the batteries it consumes to make its products. For example, the Energy business makes much higher margins than the auto business. The Robotaxi business, though still nascent, will attract SAAS margins, of the order of 80%, which compared to the ~16% margins on autos makes the pivot somewhat of a no-brainer.

      It's almost as if Photoshop never existed for the EU. XAI won't generate the images unless asked to do so by a user.  A painter who chooses to paint a pucture of a nude uses the tools available. If it's too spicy, do we condemn the painter or the company that supplied the paint and brushes they used?
