Lowering $TSLA price targets by 40% (or watching the stock drop 40%) because of temporary Shanghai shutdowns is like saying a rental property is suddenly worth 40% less because it sat vacant for a month.
All I know is $TSLA is a massive BUY at these prices.
I think it's very probable that by February 1, 2023 $TSLA will be over $1500 per share. Which is a 66% upside over the next 10 months. Super bullish on $TSLA right now.
Say Tesla does $3/share earnings in Q4.
Annualized = $12/share.
Current price is $1062.
$1062/$12 = Annualized PE of 88.
The conclusion?
$TSLA is a bargain. 📈
After digesting the Tesla deliveries beat and considering where they are headed this year, I think it’s pretty probable $TSLA gains 50 to 100% over the next 12 months.

Just did some browsing of the $TSLAQ side of Twitter, and the only remaining bear argument seems to be:
"It's all a fraud."

Why do people view the Cybertruck as impractical? Do they not understand the engineering behind it?
I see it as a 1st principles designed utilitarian vehicle. No rust, dents or scratches. Frame on outside = roomier inside. Raise/lower suspension. High manufacturability.
Just drove $TSLA FSD (12.3.3) for the first time ever. It was extremely impressive. It’s not perfect, but it truly feels like a human is driving. I will continue to more thoroughly test.

$TSLA Megapack BIG PICTURE math:
Tesla's goal is to deploy 1500 GWh of storage/yr in 2030 out of a 10k GWh market at that time
That's 375x what they did in 2021 (4 GWh)
That's = to 37 fully operational Lathrop plants.
36 more plants in 8 yrs = ~4.5 new plants/yr 🤯

Some thoughts on $TSLA advertising
Elon is right that purchase price is incredibly important to demand. Macro environment with higher rates and recession concerns are a massive weight on demand. At some point rates should come down and demand will skyrocket.
But, Elon is wrong

What many don’t realize is the value of $TSLA FSD rises exponentially as it gets closer to L4 and L5 capabilities. Sure, a driver assist feature isn’t that valuable to the market, but a vehicle that can safely drive itself with no one inside or monitoring? The value to
IMO, only $TSLA enthusiasts (10-15% of TSLA buyers) will pay $12K or $199/month for an excellent drivers’ assist tool. The premise by many TSLA enthusiasts who have been arguing with me for 5 years (and so far been wrong) is the car will drive itself without disengagement or
How is $LMND 🍋 different than a legacy insurer?
The answer is they are built from the ground up on a fully digital platform with the ideal in mind.
This fully digital platform brings many qualitative advantages.

Not investment advice.
$TSLA feels like $AMZN in the early 2010s. Amazon’s revenue back then was growing exponentially as they took market share and mind share. But their earnings were flat. Most analysts misunderstood the long term potential of the strategy they were taking.

Well. Some not-so-great personal news:
I broke my wrist badly last night playing basketball. Taking it very easy and will evaluate what I’m capable of as days go on.
I still hope to make some $LMND video content around Q3, but if I’m even able to it will be less edited.
Honestly, probably next to no one was buying a Tesla with Bitcoin. So in a practical and operational sense, nothing really has changed. Tesla still owns it, and still no one is buying cars with it. 🤷🏻♂️

✅Lex can assemble eng team & execute
✅Removes Elon as face to blame for any Twitter complainers
✅Way less noise
✅Elon can spread attention more evenly across his companies
✅Lex is likeable and politically neutral

So the sentiment in $LMND 🍋 land is bad right now. BUT, the good news is that even though the stock price has fallen the fundamentals are GREAT.
Opex is flat. IFP, revenue, gross profit continue to climb, losses are shrinking and the path to profitability is ever clearer.
How can you quickly quantify the opportunity for $LMND? Check out this math:
IFP Now = $800M
Loss Ratio = 75%
IFP Growth Rate = 30%
OpEx Now = $400M
OpEx Growth Rate = 5%
Market Cap Now = $1.2B
Operating profit y in x years would be:
y(x)=$800 (1-0.75)*1.30^(x)-$400*1.05^(x)
Remember when $LMND 🍋 was trading at $16 after 5x’ing its IFP since their IPO and being on a clear path to profitability? Yeah, I remember that.
I bought more today ✅

The first things I’ll check in $LMND 🍋 Q4 letter will be:

✅ IFP (<$730M bad, $730-$745M good, >$745M great)
✅ Adjusted EBITDA (<-$40M bad, -$39M to -$35M good, > -$34M great)

To make a radical product change, it must be more compelling than the state quo. Tesla did this with EVs over gas vehicles.
F150 lightning is arguably equal to or worse than its gas counterpart, so how do they expect customers to switch to it en masse?

Well, we've been driving our Tesla Model Y for a few weeks now and while it's absolutely incredible, puts a smile on your face just driving it, and basically a spaceship on wheels, I did notice that one panel gap is 1mm out of tolerance and now I'm furious. What a terrible car.

$LMND 🍋is handling over 30% of customer email tickets automatically with generative AI. Three months ago it was 20% and the quarter before that it was 7%. Customer rating or satisfaction or success appears to be 4.3/5.
There are 3 main concerns for $LMND
1. Loss ratio is too high
2. Customer churn is too high
3. Operating costs are (you guessed it)…too high
If they don't improve, it'll go bankrupt. But if they do, the upside is enormous. Let’s look into why all 3 *should* improve over time👇
When house prices are falling, it's called a "buyer's market". It's a positive thing for those looking to buy.
An overall bear market is the same thing. It's a positive thing for long-term investors, as you can buy more of your favourite companies, for less.

🚨 Acceleration Alert: Expecting net cash flow breakeven by EOY '24!
✅ Top line: At $794 million
✅ Revenue grew by 25%, while OpEx remained almost flat (at +2%) Y/Y
✅ Loss Ratio down 8% Y/Y to 79%
✅ Gross Profit climbed 110% Y/Y
In a recent interview Daniel said $LMND 🍋 has "2 and a quarter million or so customers".
If we assume a linear growth of customers through this quarter, we will end Q3 at about 2.336M customers. A net change of 168k customers! This would be the highest customer growth
Some quick and dirty 2030 math:
If they sell 1500 GWh of storage
= 384k Megapacks (@ 3.9 MWh/pack)
If they sell at $2M/pack
= $768B in rev
If op margin is 10% and PE is 10 on this part of business (these are just a guess at this point)
= $768B in market cap from energy storage
