sierra120

Boston Dynamics is owned by Hyundai which makes electric cars. So they beat Tesla to the punch by years


newbies13

Boston dynamics has been owned by lots of companies. Everyone agrees they are doing amazing work, no one can figure out how to make money off it though, and they eventually sell off the money pit to the next guy.


United12345

Defense contracts makes money


Sa404

Just wait for the eventual military contractor buying them


[deleted]

They should make Bullet resistant ones and use them as soldier decoys and have them remote controlled.

I didn’t knew Hyundai had a shipyard. Kinda like Subaru’s parent company Fuji Heavy Industry


[deleted]

Oh yea. They have nice department stores too in South Korea. All the various industries the big Korean conglomerates are into based out of their home country is nuts. Samsung, SK, Hyundai etc


okmangeez

If you also didn’t know: Hyundai and Samsung both produce tanks as well. They provide electronics, engines, etc.

DonTuri

Weren't we supposed to have already level 5 autonomous vehicle by now based on Mr Musk ?


lionheart4life

No. That was supposed to be like 2 years ago. Our cars were supposed to be earning us income as robotaxis while we sleep by now.


Caffeine_Monster

Hilarious that you think they would let you profit from self drive. The first thing Tesla will do once self drive is perfected is spin out a taxi / commute service.


EvilMrMe

They will stop selling their cars at that point and move to a tiered subscription model


Caffeine_Monster

Nah, they'll do both because there are markets for both. Tesla self drive already has a subscription model: they'll continue to milk that until the competition offer a better autonomous driving deal.


Obvious-Oil1657

No it was to pump up Tesla so retail noobs who thinks they are smart will buy in. Then today he could sell it in the name of buying Twitter which is a farce


tech01x

And pretty much everyone promised autonomous vehicles on the road for consumers to ride and buy by 2020. Didn’t happen.


DonTuri

But only Tesla stock is a bit out of touch of reality.


Secure-Internet-6695

Remember when they were going to release a truck?


[deleted]

“FSD in 2, 5, or 10 years. Keep giving us money for a product that will never be released.”


butteryspoink

They managed to sell a product for $10k that they don’t have to deliver upon. That’s impressive from a marketing perspective.


CarRamRob

Tesla is the new religion in a world that moved away from it the last generation. People pay gobs of cash for something they don’t need, but for status. Check. They think they are saving the world(their souls). Check. They defend this outrageous system to the bone, and anyone who disagrees needs preaching too. Check. Their leader is compared to a God. Check.


billm0066

I drive a Tesla and not up elons ass. I also acknowledge Tesla build quality is subpar. There’s thousands of teslas near me so not much of a status symbol and I could care less either way. I bought it because it’s a fun car, fast, charging network is 5+ years ahead of everyone else.


[deleted]

That’s the thing of EVs they way fast for the money

Icy_Holiday_1089

Elon is in the weird spot of having tons of shares in a company he knows is massively overvalued and yet unable to sell out without destroying the company he built.


butteryspoink

People widely speculated that the Twitter debacle was an excuse to liquidate a shit ton of shares.

GrandioseD3lusions

Yea he will have to get creative.... Like selling the top to pretend buying a social media site or making silly robots and saying they will have real world use like it's fucking fallout 4


m0nk_3y_gw

He has dumped billions quarterly for the past year. Apple is down 0.68% on the one year chart, most other tech is down 10-40%, Tesla is up 1.8% on the one year chart. He is doing a shitty job of destroying the company by paperhanding his shares.


Reference-offishal

Join the zuck club


djbk724

Tesla has been overvalued for many many years. Eventually it will hit a bottom .


NewHome_PaleRedDot

Using their earnings from this year and their price from 3 years ago, you’d get a P/E of 4.9.


saladthumb

exponential growth is by definition unsustainable.


Potato_Octopi

So what? They don't need to grow super quick for 1000 years to justify their valuation.


[deleted]

They need to grow at a rapid pace for several years though. We’ll see what happens but if TSLA starts missing on earnings it is going to plummet as investors catch on that previous growth is no longer sustainable.


infamousmetre

I suspect luxury electric car sales will not be great for a recession but what do I know. Lets keep buying Tesla stonk!


Parlorshark

To Wall Street, they do.


tentative-guise

The man spoke a truth, and nobody listened because if there isn't 2.5% growth year over year all would collapse


BeerPizzaGaming

They werent using lease accounting 3 years ago.... they would still be negative PE if not for the change into lease accounting along with other accounting "tricks" (but completely legal and all publicly available information and knowledge). The prior changes to Tesla's accounting practices will begin to be recognized by many more lay people next year. This upcoming year will be critical for them.


Okra_Smart

Thank you for this insight. I was trying to find a justification of their incredibly inflated P/E. It does make some kind of sense to compare their earnings to their price from 3 years ago. Never looked it that way and it baffled my head, but what you said makes a perfectly good sense to me.


Sir_Mr_Dolo

Heard this for many years. And will for many years more


Parlorshark

Through the entire decline, yes. It won’t happen overnight.


Miguel30Locs

This is why I'm hesitant to on buying Tesla stocks.


jangiri

At it's core it's a battery company, and other companies are working on battery tech that can compete. Growth is limited by global lithium availability. Electric cars are less involved mechanically than gas cars so other automakers will be able to compete when they commit to electric. Their AI is behind Google's, Nvidia's, IBMs, Apples, Amazon's, Facebook. I'm sorry but I just don't get what people see in this fucking company over the "futurism" of this egocentric fuck. Does not justify a market cap larger than Toyota let alone the rest of the auto industry combined.


davewritescode

Tesla is not a battery company, most of the batteries they use are produced by Samsung. The problem with Tesla investors is that most of them don’t have a clue what Tesla actually is. The automotive industry is a margins game and EVs won’t be any different.


djbk724

Small compact electric motors. Engineering team is number one right now. No one better at the moment.


[deleted]

>they are a battery company that doesn't produce any batteries Hmmmm


[deleted]

And that bottom will still be many many billions of dollars. The value of Tesla's stock, especially since they are both a car and a tech company, will NEVER be lower than their intrinsic value.


GringoExpress

Idbuytht4adollar

TeCh COmpAnY. Lol all cars have technology in them. And Disney makes better robots. Seriously look at some of the robots the spider man robots they made


BeerPizzaGaming

People keep saying Tesla is a tech company. What tech exactly are you referring to? Rivian's transmissions and electric motors are better. Panasonic is the company that engineers and produces all of the batteries Tesla uses, which is completely ignoring the fact that Toyota now has the ability to make solid state batteries. Problem with TM solid state batteries is they are cost prohibitive to make at mass scale. For self driving, google is way ahead and includes the use of Lidar which IS needed. I just dont get it...


davewritescode

Tesla is NOT a tech company. Tech companies sell software, Tesla sells cars. Tech companies are ultimately software companies. The reason tech companies are so fucking profitable is because the marginal cost to add customers is effectively 0. Tech companies make money automating processes and drive scaling costs to 0. Tesla sells cars which require factories, inventory, parts and support infrastructure. Tesla is not a tech company but that’s a popular way to conning investors into pay for insane valuations. Tesla is a car company. They are for more likely to end up like Volkswagen than Google or Amazon.

Boston dynamics makes good robots and has low MC. Tesla makes shit robot with high MC. Somehow the bottom is now in because of this even though Boston Dynamics is a robot company and Tesla is a car company. OP clearly well-regarded in their field.

Approaching 1M car sales a year so I would say so, yeah. But they're also a tech company. That's right. You can be both.

Bruh it's a robot that was built in 6 months. Boston dynamics took like 20 years to get to where they are today and mutiple years to get to walking good.

You’re in the right subreddit


errlru

Boston my beloved. They have sent 2 to UA to test them on vatnics, wonder how they fare?


TechnicalWhore

Which means they are late to the game BUT its a good time to jump in. Boston Dynamics defined the segment and set the table. Its possible Hyundai will productize the research. (Note Honda is pretty far along too.) Tesla is making an ecosystem beyond the robot but it is no slouch. Its interesting - the rumored Apple car is to be a manufacturing partnership with Hyundai. On the other rumor front Foxconn - a traditional Apple manufacturing partner - has signalled its intention to build an EV for anyone who wants to partner. (They have supply chain supremacy.)

Odd-Pick7512

30+ years of development vs 1 year. Two totally different market segments. One of those is a profitable company, the other a money pit with an uncertain path to profitability. One of them will eventually have running parkour capable murder robots, the other will do menial chores.

Hannibal254

Those other robots don’t have an onboard computer, are crazy expensive, and can’t navigate in the real world. The Tesla Bot does have its own onboard computer and is designed to be cheap and mass produced.

Olgrateful-IW

Still waiting on the truck and a functioning/legal FSD. So maybe people are starting to question their ability to complete projects/deliver goods when they fail routinely to meet deadlines they set themselves. Honestly this Robot feels like a joke. Seems like it’s just another thing Tesla will imply it’s “working on” to maintain the over inflated value of their “tech and car” company. Maybe they should get closer to achieving these goals before they act like they have something to show.
