Comments by "Joe Qi" (@i6power30) on "Tesla officially confirm what is REALLY going on with 4680 battery cells" video.
Sam is desperately pumping out Tesla videos after disasterous earnings report and conference call. Toyota stock mean while up 50% in the past year, $TSLA down 30% in the past 6 months. So much for EV revolution eh? I like EVs, but hate Tesla's business practices and trying to mislead consumers and investors with false FSD promises and robots. Cutting corners in cars by removing useful physical controls, and replace it with ugly stuck-on tablet, annoying over the air software update that's always changing menu items you can't find. None of these computer on wheels designs have ANYTHING to do with electric drivetrain which I love. What's worse is that these trends are being copied by other auto manufacturers thinking consumers like them. Instead of trying to make high quality EV, that's comfortable, intuitive and durable, long lasting like Toyotas, Tesla is making cheap throw-away appliances depreciates worse than European luxury cars - sucking in young and naive buyers with lots of money to waste.

@ScottOstr I think in 5 years, FSD will still be in beta, and optimus robots will still be in development. But Tesla will continue to do well for types of buyers who are looking for a game console on wheels instead of driver focused cars. But the $TSLA stock will either be flat or down by then because the hype of AI / FSD / robotaxi will have completed been faded by then. Toyota will probably also down because they will be losing market share to Chinese autos in global markets. The best case for Tesla is it's going to sell more cars - cyber truck, model 2 etc. but it's just that, a car company. 2 - 5X max. I already made 20x from 2019 to 2022 peak, will not look at this one until it's sub- 100. It's silly people fomo into Tesla now that's already popular, and they didn't when it was near bankrupcy in 2019.

@ScottOstr That's my point exactly. No matter how efficient their manufacturing is, they are just a car company, competing with cheap Chinese autos, race to the bottom. The upside is limited to 2 - 5X max. downside could be 80% given unstable personality of Elon Musk. There are better risk / reward elsewhere.
