@arbsmichael You should include the $25,000 (avg. ~$5K per year in AU) the owner didn’t spent on petrol over 5 years. Oh, and no servicing either

Tesla’s Model 3 was selling for more than $100,000 AUD five years ago - now owners are selling them for less than a quarter of the price. One 2020 Model 3 listed this week was going for just $24,200. The car had a single owner and 138,000 kilometres on the clock. Other vehicles of the same year and model were listed in the $28,000-$30,000 range. Turns out the only thing accelerating faster than a Tesla is its depreciation.

Founder-led sales 💪
Lenny Rachitsky@lennysan

"Sell the alpha, not the feature": The enterprise sales playbook for $1M to $10M ARR with @jjen_abel Jen is GM of Enterprise at @StateAffairsUS, co-founder @jjellyfish_co, and one of the sharpest minds I've ever met on all things enterprise sales. In this follow-up to our first chat two years ago (covering the founder-led sales zero to $1M phase), we focus on what founders need to know to grow from $1M to $10M ARR. We discuss: 🔸 The dangers of pricing your product $10K-$20K 🔸 Why tier-1 logos counterintuitively make the best early customers 🔸 Why the “mid-market” doesn’t exist 🔸 How to find and work with design partners 🔸 Why you need to vision-cast instead of problem-solve 🔸 Why services are the fastest way to get your foot in the door with enterprises 🔸 When to hire your first salesperson and what profile to look for 🔸 Much more Listen now 👇 • YouTube: youtube.com/watch?v=37fKFW… • Spotify: open.spotify.com/episode/29WRTO… • Apple: podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/sel… Thank you to our wonderful sponsors for supporting the podcast: 🏆 @WorkOS—Modern identity platform for B2B SaaS, free up to 1 million MAUs: workos.com/lenny 🏆 @Lovable—Build apps by simply chatting with AI: lovable.dev 🏆 @coda_hq—The all-in-one collaborative workspace: coda.io/lenny

Australia’s 60 Minutes just aired a 30min hit piece on Tesla FSD, littered with misleading reporting. Unfortunately many people will now think this technology is a threat to road safety, when in fact, it’s THIS technology that will save many lives.

I own a home now Home ownership is a cult A mortgage is massive long term loan that holds considerable risk when a local market crashes (see Detroit) It's a bad investment and a moneypit After real estate fees, taxes and maintenance it heavily underperforms most other investments The only arguments to be made for home ownership is leverage by borrowing money (most people can't borrow $1M to put in S&P500, but they can to buy a house) And being able to highly customize your own living experience (like me, I installed a home gym, sauna, jacuzzi, etc) Don't let anybody tell you it's a great investment, generally it's not and it usually does not or at times only barely outperforms inflation You should buy a home for the reasons above not any financial reasons
Marc Lou@marclou

Everyone around me is buying houses right now. They tell me it’s the smartest thing to do because "real estate always goes up." But when I mention investing in the S&P 500, they say it's too risky because I could lose everything. It’s not a perfect comparison, but if you put $100K down on a $500K house, or invest the same amount in the S&P 500, after 20 years—accounting for inflation, taxes, and fees—the stock market historically gives you a much higher return. I don’t know. Maybe I missed something.

Ok, so it's not quite Sam & Jony… but Matt Vitale and I are working on sovereign, secure, open-source based #AI for #enterprise, along with Brandon Burns who is leading our effort to scale up @newdialogueai - Speed, control, and transparency is where it matters. If you're investing in how your organisation prepares for the future, we’re building the AI to power it. Let’s chat. linkedin.com/posts/matt-vit…

@BikoKonstantin1 That’s how we address affordable housing, by sending people to Mars. Duh

Everything Zuck does is to extinguish OpenAI I think First it was open sourcing Llama, this way he thought if their model was just as good but free-to-use people wouldn't have to pay OpenAI because it was closed, but it didn't work Then it was essentially buying Scale AI for $14B. Scale AI does a lot of the data labeling and creates a lot of the LLM data sets that OpenAI trains on I think. Getting control of that and removing OpenAI as a partner makes it harder for them to train models Next is poaching of the OpenAI staff to hollow it out from the inside Zuck sees OpenAI as its biggest threat I think
signüll@signulll

zuck’s playbook for poaching ai talent is absolutely savage. openai is obviously not acquirable, at least not in any real world scenario. so what’s the next best move? you don’t buy the company. you bleed it out. you go straight for the people who are the company. openai is quite literally nothing without its people, remember? especially in ai. so zuck starts cutting checks big enough to short circuit anyone’s loyalty circuits. $100m, $300m+ packages. it’s just a different kind of acquisition. just one quiet defection at a time until the center can’t hold. everyone’s still stuck in traditional acquisition era thinking, while zuck’s out here doing black ops recruitment like it’s cold war berlin.

@tpedler Serious shift In market sentiment which has been good for Tesla. I’m deeply invested - have been since the beginning in the Tesla mission and vision. Just calling out what I see.

Elons recent actions have come at a significant financial cost, potentially amounting to billions of dollars, as evidenced by the adverse impact on Tesla’s stock price. To mitigate this loss and restore balance to his business interests, a strategic narrative of discord has been cultivated, aimed at re-engaging the Democratic consumer base. This approach appears to be yielding positive results, as it seeks to recapture a broader market share. This strategy draws parallels to the approach famously adopted by Michael Jordan, who deliberately avoided public political affiliations. His rationale was straightforward: both Democrats and Republicans purchase his products, and maintaining neutrality was advantageous for business. A similar calculus seems to be emerging for Musk, as he navigates the complex interplay between public perception, market dynamics, and brand loyalty. Just my 2c I’m team Elon all the way
