Damn, sounds like Tesla is COOKED as a company.
When will TSLA fall to sub-$100, do you think? AFAIK it's been three years since this thread was made, and TSLA soared up to hit a new ATH a few weeks ago... but surely 2026 will be the year it all comes crashing down though, right?

I think "sales of new cars" figures will literally become mathematically irrelevant to Tesla's market cap and profitability within the next few years if Tesla's FSD Cybercab/Robotaxi model scales up the way it seems poised to right now.
You probably think that stuff is a total scam which will ultimately go nowhere, and at the end of the day Tesla is and will always remain just another car company trying to get people to buy new cars.
Guess we'll see who's right! |

if those examples are representative of the crashes, this news seems to be slanted. unless the "human crash" stats include every example of someone tapping a bumper when they try to parallel park. |

Date: February 18th, 2026 6:48 PM Author: .,.,,...,...,..,....,...,...,... LJL. Tesla is going to make so much money from robotaxis that car sales won't even matter. Even though their "robotaxis" have safety drivers, work only in a small section of Austin, and crash at 4x the rate of humans. Meanwhile, Waymo is available in far more cities, and it is far safer than human drivers. And while Zoox is only available in Vegas, it doesn't have safety drivers, and it also doesn't crash. (It should also be noted that both Waymo and Zoox are massively in the red, and neither of them has a clear path to profitability.) But somehow Elon is going to figure out a way to make the robotaxis stop crashing and clean themselves and justify TSLA's sky high valuation. Sounds like a good investment to me.

"Even though their 'robotaxis' have safety drivers"
>>> As of about a month ago, nope. Tesla is currently operating several dozen robotaxis on the streets of Austin with no safety drivers in them. That's a pretty neat trick for a pile of steaming bullshit fake scam tech that "everyone knows" is "only" a "Level 2" lane assist, especially since "the experts all agree" that FSD can't even really work right in the first place without LIDAR and Tesla doesn't use any LIDAR! But admittedly...
"They work only in a small section of Austin"
>>> Actually, right now, Waymo (which soft launched in Austin way back in 2023) is still only covering a mere ~140 square miles, while Tesla (which soft launched in Austin just a few months ago) is already up to ~170 miles and has been expanding its coverage rapidly. IMO it's a little weird how people who love to shit on Tesla for (currently) being geofenced also love to dickride Waymo despite the fact that Waymo is literally more tightly constrained by geofencing than Tesla... but putting all of that aside, even I have to admit that...
"They crash at 4x the rate of humans"
>>> Well, actually, funny thing about those terrifying 'crashes' and that horrifying 'crash rate'...

Any other devastating points you wanted to raise in here, my Jewish friend?
Also just FYI, if your sidebar comments about "Zoox" (lmao) and other competitors running in the red was intended to imply that the whole "robotaxi" thing isn't going to becoming a MASSIVELY popular and INSANELY profitable industry within the next decade, then that implication is by far the dumbest thing you said in your entire poast by a wide margin. Just so you're aware of that. LJL. |
|
Date: February 20th, 2026 10:23 AM Author: .,.,,...,...,..,....,...,...,... Do you know anything about this industry at all? Or do you just dick ride Elon? What's killing Waymo right now is cleaning and maintenance costs. Someone needs to vacuum out the cars at the end of the day. Someone also needs to repair the tires and brakes when they wear out. Neither of those things is going to be automated any time soon. Uber effectively passes those costs on to the drivers, so they manage to turn a profit. But if a robotaxi company has to pay the cleaning and maintenance costs, it is unclear if any robotaxi company can every be profitable.
Honestly, one could turn this into a bull argument for Tesla. If Tesla could get to the point where any Tesla owner can turn their car into a robotaxi when they are not using it, they could be absolutely printing money. But that doesn't seem to be the path that Tesla is taking. Given the aforementioned cleaning and maintenance issues, who the fuck is going to buy a Cybercab? If Elon had tried to build the Model 2 instead and put millions of new Tesla vehicles on the road while perfecting the FSD software, Tesla's valuation could be justified. But he seems to have gotten bored making cars and now he wants to focus entirely on robotaxis and robots. Maybe he will pull another rabbit out of his hat, but I don't see how this is profitable any time soon. |

Thanks for the laughs man, I've probably literally spent 500+ hours of my life deep diving on FSD / Tesla / Waymo / BYD etc content over the last decade and I am a YUGE and LONGTIME investor in TSLA (been pushing it on this bort for like 8 years now), but yeah maybe I'll have to Google this "full self driving thing" sometime and learn a thing or two, gee why didn't I think of that?
Thanks for the very cogent explanation about why it's "unclear if any robotaxi can ever be profitable." Great point -- I have a feeling that this thread will age beautifully in the next decade. ;) |

Date: February 20th, 2026 5:01 PM Author: .,.,,...,...,..,....,...,...,... Clearly, your 500+ hours of "research" mostly involved watching AI-generated porn of Elon's cock. If Waymo is spending $8 per passenger mile when you factor in cleaning and maintenance costs, explain to me how Tesla (or anyone) is going to be able to compete with Uber. These are not fixed costs that will decrease with volume. I don't see how this is profitable unless you take the Uber model where you provide the software but someone else owns the vehicle and is responsible for the associated cost. Tesla could have followed that model, but Elon got bored building cars, and now he wants to build something called the "Cybercab" that nobody will ever buy.

"I don't see how this is profitable unless you take the Uber model where you provide the software but someone else owns the vehicle and is responsible for the associated cost."
You mean like if, hypothetically, Elon gave everyone who currently owns a Tesla (million of people IIRC) the opportunity to let it operate as an unsupervised Uber on some sort of profit-sharing model? Which would actually be extremely easy to achieve on a technical level because the only thing that currently separates "new Model Ys" from "Robotaxis" is the FSD software version that they're running and a little decal plastered on the side of the body of the car? Whoa that's a crazy idea... why didn't Elon ever think of that and make a bunch of public statements about how they are planning to do that in the future!
"Tesla could have followed that model, but Elon got bored building cars, and now he wants to build something called the 'Cybercab' that nobody will ever buy."
Well since you're the REAL expert on this topic, I won't bore you with a rehashing of a bunch of stuff you clearly already know about how one of the actual biggest issues that ride-hailing companies currently face is dealing with huge ranges of demand for their services based on location and time of day -- which is why they have to pay way more to drivers (and frequently operate at a huge loss) just to get a sufficiently critical mass on the road at certain places/times.
I wonder if a business model where a company that controlled the full stack -- cars + software + service / charging stations -- could own and operate a core fleet of vehicles that they can profitably deploy to meet core demand at all times, and then find ways to financially incentivize a bunch of partners (who maybe owned their own vehicles that ran on that company's software) to fill in the gaps in a way that was still profitable for the company, albeit perhaps at a lower rate? Seems like that would be a much stronger business model than the current "operate at a loss a lot of the time" Uber/Lyft model, but hey what do I know! |

Date: February 20th, 2026 2:29 PM Author: Gay Grandpa Uber is not just "passing on" these costs at no cost to them. The fucking ride is more expensive because that shit does need to be paid by the driver. So Uber's cost is they can only offer the service at a higher price point. On the other hand, fleet maintenance is FAR cheaper than bringing your car to the mechanic. So Waymo has at least that advantage over Uber. But wait till you hear which player in this industry already has dealerships with full service departments already equipped, staffed and operational. LOL

Robotaxis will clearly never be able to compete with ride-hailing apps that use retarded third-world human drivers who were too dumb, lazy, or smelly to be able to get real jobs in 2026. Trust me.

Date: February 20th, 2026 4:56 PM Author: .,.,,...,...,..,....,...,...,... The last I read, when you factor in the costs of cleaning and maintaining the vehicles, Venmo is spending about $8 per mile driven. In other words, about 50 times more expensive than an Uber. And far and away the biggest maintenance cost for EV's is tires. I'm not sure how having your own service department makes that any cheaper.

Date: February 20th, 2026 5:16 PM Author: Gay Grandpa Right, its NOT LIKE Teslas come equipped with tires that are virtually tailor made for them and their special relationship with the mfg would give them a price advantage. Its also NOT LIKE balancing and mounting a tire costs anything ($20 per tire at a used tire shop if you are not buying the tires from them) where your own dealership tech might save you money on it. Its also NOT LIKE tesla could deploy the best tech in the world to detect filth left behind in a car and offer financial incentive/deterrence to passengers based on how they treat the vehicle. Etc etc, not like any of these things (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=5834249&forum_id=2#49683533) |

Date: February 20th, 2026 6:29 PM Author: To be fair (Semi-Retarded) To be fair,
Look, bro, let me boil it down for you as simply as I can:
After 20+ years of "EVs" being a thing and after nearly a decade of the biggest American automakers in the world actively competing within that market (and literally spending tens of billions of dollars to do so), up until this point there is only one company in the world that has figured out a way to manufacture and sell them profitably at scale within this space: Tesla, as run by Elon Musk. (Ford, GM, etc. all operate their EV segments at a loss and always have.)
But surely that guy won't be able to figure out how to keep robotaxis clean, that's an intractable problem that will ultimately doom the entire industry!

Out of curiosity, since you seem to be a real expert on this topic and you're extremely confident in this assessment, how much time have you actually spent over in China experiencing BYD's FSD tech directly?
I myself have admittedly never driven a BYD, but here's the funny thing: back in September, analysts at Piper Sandler who make money by trying to accurately assess the relative strengths of different companies traveled over to China specifically to do that, and when they came back to America, they had become *extremely* bullish on Tesla:
https://www.thestreet.com/automotive/tesla-stock-forecast-reset-by-analysts-after-visiting-china
Here's the exact money quote btw:
"The firm sees Tesla’s artificial intelligence as light-years ahead of its competitors in China."
But I'm sure that you also have a lot of firsthand experience with BYD's "superior" FSD tech and I can't wait to hear more about it, brother! ;) |

Date: February 20th, 2026 10:28 AM Author: .,.,,...,...,..,....,...,...,... Well, if one Jewish analyst on Wall Street says it is true, then it must be true, right? The article doesn't even say anything about BYD's "God's eye" software. It just says Tesla is ahead in "artificial intelligence" (whatever the fuck that means). I have never tried BYD's software, but when it is available for free on cars that start at around $10k, I'm going to go out on a limb and say that Tesla will have trouble competing with that even if Tesla's technology is slightly better.

Weird how they're treated as credible and authoritative sources when you invoke them against me in that context, but not when I invoke one of them against you here.
Almost as if...
Also just a reminder that this is what actually matters in this exchange:
"I have never tried BYD's software"
Yeah, crazy how I guessed that. Odd case.
So anyway, yeah in this scenario where neither of us have any direct experience with BYD's tech stack and these "Jewish analysts on wall street" do, I'm going to hold my nose and go with their take on it. |

Also, I own a Tesla and subscribe to FSD, and I think it is amazing. But I can also see Tesla's sales crashing in China and elsewhere and BYD absolutely eating their lunch. Even Elon says that Tesla is a robotaxi and robotics company, not a car company. It looks to me like he is giving up and throwing in the towel. Maybe he will be able to produce a working robotaxi or robot and justify Tesla's valuation. But it looks to me like he is lighting the one profitable part of his business on fire because he got bored with it, and it's unclear that his current obsessions will turn a profit before Tesla runs out of cash. We'll see. I wish he would get interested in cars again, because I really like my Tesla, and I hope they don't quit making them.

"BYD absolutely eating their lunch"
Again, in what? Private individual car sales to individual end users who want to buy a new car within the Chinese market? I am not closely following car sales in China, but sure, let's assume that's true (and it might very well be true) -- my question is, who gives a fuck? Elon could easily scale Tesla to $10+ trillion market cap over the next decade or two without ever selling another car to another individual end user for private ownership in China ever again. Short term profitability would take a hit, but Tesla is sitting on a ton of money and the commercialization of FSD-equipped robotaxis on a large scale over the next year or three is going to absolutely dwarf every single existing aspect of Tesla's current "sell individual cars to individual users" business model, so why is this metric important in any way?
If your argument is that BYD's *FSD tech* is going to eat Tesla's *FSD tech* within the context of the *commercial robotaxi market* on the international stage, then that's a vastly different proposition -- if that happens, I completely agree that Tesla might end up getting totally and permanently fucked.
But I see absolutely no reason to think that will happen... the most relevant datapoint produced in this thread so far strongly indicates the opposite and your only response was "lol at listening to Wall Street Jews who are in the bag for Tesla" (as if all of the so-called experts who have been shitting on Tesla for the last 10 years and who Pumos like you love to shove in my face in threads like this as sources of authority are a bunch of Based Retail Goys?????)... and your counterpoint basically boils down to "BYD's tech is way better and Tesla can't compete with it longterm, trust me bro I know these things I am very smart." Whoa, now that sounds compelling, thanks for the hot tech tip Ari! |
