π Whatβs Different vs. βUnlimitedβ Case
π Takeaways
Still extraordinary growth: revenue 8Γ and market cap ~5Γ by 2029βeven under supply & regulatory friction.
Robotaxi + Optimus comprise ~47 % of β29 revenue and >60 % of EBIT, but the cap on unit output delays Optimus supremacy beyond 2030.
Execution headroom: missing any single plant ramp by one year trims 2029 EPS ~10 % (β $100 on share price).

This is what every CEO sounds like before they get disrupted

Uber CEO in new interview on @Tesla potentially being their biggest problem/competitor:
"No one wants to compete against Tesla or Elon, if you can help it. Their capabilities are pretty extraordinary, but I think the same economic laws apply to them. Ultimately, if Tesla puts their cars on our network, we already have 150,000 drivers who are driving Teslas, and if they get FSD, theyβd love to plug it into Uber as well. Then, that Tesla that is both on Uber, and by the way, they could be both on Uber and the network, that is going to create much, much more revenue. Ultimately, thatβll increase the value of the Tesla so that the residual value of that car improves, and if they donβt do that, thereβll be some other OEM that does it.
So it all comes back to revenue generation, you have a box with wheels, you want to maximize the revenue of that box in order to reduce your cost of capital, and economic laws apply to Tesla, just as they do to any other car company. To some extent, you look at the food business. Iβll go there, right? McDonaldβs has its own app, and has an incredible brand, has a lot of capital, has terrific reach. They still work with Uber Eats and DoorDash, because they want to drive utilization of the box called the restaurant, that same economic value is going to be true going forward. Ultimately, weβre hoping that my charm and the economic argument gets Tesla to work with us as well. If they want a direct channel, no problem."
Jo I don't know why you think the stock price will lead the fundamentals. I can't see Tesla stock shooting up multiple times the value of Waymo until the reality is multiple times that business. When the rest of the market isn't convinced it is unlikely to lead the concrete news and fundamentals. BTW I'm a huge Tesla bull but I think the stock has to prove itself for wider market adoption of the bull case.
We need @aelluswamy to produce a roadmap of features and innovations needed to launch robotaxi in Austin in June. Then we need milestones, dates and version numbers. Just like he did in the fall.
