Everyday $TSLA & SpaceX shareholder in the Ozarks πΊπΈ Starlink on the roof, gravel on the roads. The future, seen from a small town. Not financial advice.
I'm Shane, from the Arkansas Ozarks. I own Tesla and SpaceX shares the way folks around here own land: buy what you believe in, then wait. Starlink on the roof, gravel in the driveway. I post what the future looks like from a small town. Glad you're here.
My grandpa kept his emergency fund in a coffee can in the deep freeze. Mine's in a savings account now, but the rule hasn't changed: you don't touch the shares when the truck breaks down. You touch the coffee can.
Tesla reports after the bell today. Wall Street wants $28.3B in revenue, $0.45 EPS and a 17.9% gross margin.
As an everyday shareholder, here's what I'm actually listening for:
β A Cybercab production date I can circle on the calendar
β How many cities have truly driverless robotaxi
β Energy storage after a 13.7 GWh quarter
β Anything real on the SpaceX merger
The EPS number is honestly last on my list. What's first on yours?
13.6 million Starlink subscribers. I'm one of them, on a gravel road in the Ozarks where good internet used to be a pipe dream. People ask why I own SpaceX. It's not the rockets first. It's that I watched my own internet go from barely loading a page to streaming anything in one afternoon.
Q3 2026 highlights:
- Delivered revenue of $14.6 billion, up 161% year-over-year
- Successfully launched our first revenue-generating Starship mission, delivering 26 Starlink V3 satellites to our broadband constellation, representing approximately 10x the downlink capacity added by a Falcon 9 Starlink launch
- Added $6.7 billion of incremental Super Intelligence solutions and infrastructure revenue year-over-year, driven by cloud services agreements, the acquisition of Cursor, and our growing SI models and software applications, including @Grok@Bot
- Delivered year-over-year revenue growth of 69% and income from operations growth of 99% for the Connectivity segment, supported by strong momentum in enterprise and government adoption, and continued @Starlink consumer subscriber growth
- Continued to scale nameplate compute, reaching 1.7 GW as of September 30, 2026
@BastianBraun121 Combined, for me. Starlink cash flow plus Tesla's AI and robots under one roof is the version of Elon's companies I'd want to hold for 20 years.
