I was trying to think through how the margin could get worse while spreading fixed costs over more units and maybe projected investment? But most likely they decoupled the variables and did some hacky statistics, so their model doesn’t have any actual relationship between the output variables. Why even learn basic financial statement rules when you can just do a big linear regression then throw the input into a “monte Carlo” and call it good?

So what stupid way should I vote my Teck shares for Wednesday?

The stupid corporate breakup that only benefits massive shareholders and kills my vote power or the now undervalued Glencore offer that I assume is going to get another counter before Wednesday based on them wanting to spin off the coal division.

20 million cars a year would be about 1/3rd the entire global fleet of passenger vehicles sold in a year.

so 1 in 3 cars you see driving would be a tesla. totally a realistic goal and very definitely something we have seen in the past few decades where a single manufacturer dominates world wide sales.

also lmao. its so much easier to manufacture electric cars vs. conventional ICE cars. there is nothing protecting tesla from being chipped away at by a hundred other new small time manufacturers.

Pssh, its like a couple patches away from being capable of $600B/yr in robotaxi revenue

ARK's stupid valuation gives a ~100% chance Tesla will have an autonomous robotaxi fleet by 2027 and a double digit % chance of it happening by the end of this year. Yes, the year that ends 8 months from now

that article about tesla employees sharing vids of the inside peoples garages and horrific accidents also had an anecdote about how they also spent a lot of time trying to train the cars valet feature not to freak out over something as simple as a garden hose laying on the driveway.

so i’m sure unattended robo taxi is just around the corner.

Cathie and the ARK crew are back with their always insane TSLA forecasts: https://ark-invest.com/articles/valuation-models/arks-tesla-price-target-2027/

From todays price of $165, their price target 2027 is... $2000, a CAGR of 70%. The bear case is $1400!

The whole thing is worth a read for a laugh, but here is their main table of very realistic expectations



This reads like poo poo I see from Crypto where people just imagine numbers. Just as stupid and you can see where & why, too. On one hand, they expect margins on EV's to stay the same on the bull forecast in 5 years and increase by 10 percentage points (not 10% increase, we're talking 50% increase!) for the bear case, while total gross margin doubles and they have between 10 and 15 times the marketcap. E;FB.

was it ever made clear how and why hertz stockholders were able to get such a good deal out of the bankruptcy sale? i remember the lead up, and the shock when naive retail investors weren't completely hosed, but i can't find any good explanations for what happened

Hertz had a ton of used cars and went bankrupt right as the pandemic started, which caused the price of used cars to double/triple.

Usually your main asset doesn't triple in price in less than a year.

Uh didn't you see the "bull and bear projections" a few posts up? Your assets should at least triple, that's the bull projection.

Yep. Sad thing is it now has a lot of people convinced that common shareholders can do really well in a bankruptcy. Which can happen (even leaving HTZ aside, buying shares of the bankrupt REIT GGP was one of Bill Ackman's famous trades in the GFC) but it's very very rare.

I don't think used car prices went crazy until a year or so into the pandemic when new car supply chain issues from became apparent.

Which is exactly when they emerged from bankruptcy. That's the whole point, at the start of the pandemic things looked grim, they filed for bankruptcy. A year later car prices went wonky and they were able to emerge.

You don't just Michael Scott declare bankruptcy and the company shuts down, it typically takes at least a year or two to actually happen. You can also file with intent to keep operating after (Hertz) or with intent to liquidate (BBBY). It's a long, complicated process which I could effort post about if people were interested.

Not just used car prices, but demand for rental cars (and rental car rates) went absolutely bonkers between summer 2020 through 2021. People were too afraid to fly anywhere but pretty much the entire Northeast had the idea of "Driving to Maine" for vacation and many places around NYC were quoting $100-$120 a day for a basic shitbox car that wasn't even vacuumed after the last renter.

In april 2020 there was also a mysterious fire that somehow got started in a giant lot in florida that burned up a few thousand rental cars. Not sure which company or companies got that insurance payout.

It was $600/day in Miami, May 2020

Your options at that price point were

Ford Taurus: $600/day
Lamborghini Hurricane, neon lime green: $600

I know this because we debated the Lambo but realized it doesn't have a backseat for a car seat so we opted to just uber everywhere instead

He is very slightly positive overall, which is basically the most useless thing possible. If he was always right or always wrong, those are obviously useful, but he's right just ever so slightly which means both inversing him and following him underperformed the market.

MSFT and GOOG mostly compete against AWS in the middleware and (azure in particular) apps cloud spaces, whereas AWS still dominates in the cloud storage/infra segment. (Note that ORCL is in this picture too, as well as a few smaller players.) I doubt AWS is losing much market share but it could be seeing a lot of price pressure.
