Friendly reminder that AI will never be worse than it is right now.

If you assume any rate of improvement over any reasonable period - learning how to use it becomes your #1 priority.

@aymanalabdul Great idea, Ayman! Thank you for the tip... This is now on my cal!

I no longer feel like I can use an EM dash when writing for fear people think it’s AI.

Tesla trades at $1.5 trillion today. Getting to $100T means a 65x from here. Sounds insane until you break down what Musk is actually stacking.

Layer 1: Robotaxi. Ark Invest projects the robotaxi market at $10T by 2030. Tesla has FSD testing unsupervised in Austin and SF right now. If Tesla captures even 30% of that market at its current 13x price-to-sales multiple, that’s a $39T valuation from autonomy alone.

Layer 2: Optimus. This is where the math gets wild. Morgan Stanley estimates the humanoid robot TAM at $5T. Citi says $7T. Musk said last July he expects 100,000 Optimus units per month within 60 months. At $25,000 per unit, that’s $30B in annual revenue just from robots by early next decade. But Musk’s real claim is that the TAM for “manual labor replacement” is effectively infinite. Global labor compensation runs around $40T annually. If Optimus captures 5% of that within 15 years, you’re looking at $2T in annual revenue. At a 13x multiple, that’s $26T in market cap from robots.

Layer 3: Energy. Tesla deployed a record 14.2 GWh of energy storage last quarter alone. This business is growing faster than EVs did at the same stage and nobody’s pricing it.

Layer 4: The manufacturing flywheel. Tesla just broke ground on a standalone Optimus factory at Giga Texas targeting 10 million units per year by 2027. They discontinued the Model S and Model X to repurpose factory space for robot production. That tells you where management sees the margin curve heading.

Add it up: $39T robotaxi + $26T Optimus + a few trillion in energy and EVs, and $100T stops sounding like fantasy. It starts sounding like the bull case where three separate bets all hit within the same decade.

The problem? Every single layer requires execution that Tesla has never demonstrated at the required scale. FSD still isn’t commercially deployed. Optimus Gen 3 is factory-only. The Cybercab manufacturing process is unproven. And BYD just outsold them globally in EVs for the second straight year.

$100T is the price tag on a world where Tesla wins autonomy, wins robotics, and wins energy storage simultaneously. The real question isn’t whether the TAM exists. It’s whether one company can capture all three at once.

@marcuslemonis have you connected with @AlexHormozi ? Seems like a lot in common with The Fixer / The Profit (they did $250m last year). Just got back from their HQ workshop - would be worth connecting as you two seem to be aligned!

[Peter Ruchti @peterruchti]

@aleyda Cool dashboard! Well done. Thank you for sharing.

[Peter Ruchti @peterruchti]

@SawyerMerritt @Tesla Elon also mentioned an estimated 5,000 Optimus units produced this year, but it may be as high as 10,000-12,000. Estimated 50,000 production next year.

Great cost breakdown. At least a 60% savings compared to Uber, but often 5-10x cheaper. Not to mention, having a front row seat and a quiet ride.

[Nic Cruz Patane @niccruzpatane]

Cybercab will cost $0.30-$0.40 per mile

How much do current services cost per mile on average?

Bus Ride: $0.50-$1.50 (depending on location)
Uber: $1.00–$2.00 (up to $3.00+ with Surge).
Lyft: $1.50–$2.50 (up to $3.00 with tip/Prime Time).
Waymo: $1.50–$2.00 (higher for short trips, e.g., $3.00–$9.00)

@elonmusk +1 I cancelled ChatGPT Pro to move to Grok 3. It’s way better!

Hopefully support for an Operator competitor is coming soon?

[Peter Ruchti @peterruchti]

@marcuslemonis Can we get an update on the deals from The Profit?

[Peter Ruchti @peterruchti]

@SawyerMerritt Thank you for coordinating this and all you do! Merry Christmas! https://t.co/ecPpiNOX2C

@bradsferguson The lease business for Tesla was small, but not for long

[Peter Ruchti @peterruchti]

Apple did $400b revenue with $100b profit. And, they sure are solving real world problems (hence why customers choose to buy from them).

Tesla did $100b revenue with $15b in profit.

I’m long TSLA and believe they will eventually be #1… but today’s evaluation is certainly not irrational.
