US State rankings! Methodology/what the numbers mean and data in the thread👇









@garyblack00 @garyblack00 honest q but what do you think would convince WS that V12 FSD is drastic improvement and therefore begin to price in some level of FSD success?

Let's have some fun "valuing" Tesla FSD + Autonomy... ... Introducing the "CERN" Model for Tesla - a Conceived Estimate of Robotaxi Network. Let's look at just the potential value of Full Self Driving "FSD" software + Autonomy. (Note: I say "potential" - as this isn't a company valuation model and these are not predictions - the purpose is simply to show "what if") The CERN model shows what if values for Tesla FSD + Autonomy of $329 billion today and $9.4 trillion in 2035. In other words, every new vehicle sold, which expands Tesla's potential fleet, adds $72,000 to the CERN model for Tesla (and yet Wall Street is worried about today's margins?!) This is what @elonmusk means when he says, "The value of the company is primarily on the basis of autonomy. That's really, I think, the main driver of our value." Let's see how we arrive at these numbers... The assumptions: 1) Tesla sells their vehicles at cost and only makes money from FSD software subscriptions and Robotaxi revenue. 2) Tesla has sold a cumulative 4.9 million vehicles as of 2023 Q2 and will sell a cumulative 130 million vehicles by the end of 2035 (19 million in that year - 5 years later and 1 million less than the company's 20 million target by 2030). These vehicles are considered to be the "fleet." 3) The CERN model excludes all other revenue from Energy, Insurance, Supercharging, Service, DOJO and Bots. 4) All vehicles subscribe to FSD (no purchases) and the cost of monthly FSD subscriptions are $200. 5) Autonomous vehicles drive 60,000 miles per year, generate $0.30 per mile in revenue and Tesla takes 25% of the fleet revenue. 6) Net profit margins over time are 35%. 7) And investors give the company a P/E multiple of 30 for steady, growing, high margin earnings. None of the numbers in the model are discounted to the present. The model's results: FSD: Based on today's fleet size, annual potential FSD revenue is $11 billion. By 2035 potential FSD revenue would rise to more than $300 billion. Autonomy: Based on today's fleet size, annual potential revenue from autonomy is $20 billion. By 2035 potential FSD autonomy revenue would climb to $580 billion. Combined, annual potential FSD and Autonomy revenue, based on today's fleet size is $31 billion. By 2035 potential FSD and Autonomy revenue would expand to $895 billion. Applying a net profit margin of 35% and an earnings multiple of 30 to those revenue figures gives us a CERN model what-if-value of $329 billion today and a what-if-value of $9.4 trillion in 2035. For comparison, Tesla's total market capitalization today is around $850 billion. Finally, from Elon, "The short term variances in gross margins and profitability really are minor relative to the long term picture. Autonomy will make all of these numbers look silly." $tsla
