That the stock’s bounce after the close is holding up through this call is truly a monument to the gullibility of Wall Street.

Utilities are buying huge amounts of stationary storage from Tesla, which is driving some of its only growth.
Boycott organizers please take note of this!

"hundreds" of Optimus robots "doing useful work" at Tesla factories by the end of this year
one million units/year of Optimus by 2029/30
why would anyone believe any of this until they deliver FSD in any kind of meaningful way?

Musk acknowledges that there are massive questions about when autonomous ridehailing will generate significant business, and he says that this will take place in roughly the middle of next year... the eternal 12 month out deadline

Musk not backing down. He thinks "the right thing to do" is to continue "fighting the waste and fraud." He calls it "critical work."
He calls protests "organized" and "paid for." He says protesters won't admit it, but they are recipients of the waste and fraud DOGE is cutting.

"It's never a dull moment these days" is how Elon opens the car.
He acknowledges that there has been "blowback" due to his work at DOGE, which he defends. Claims that all criticism is coming from those who received tax money that he and DOGE have cut.

Magical cameras that see in the dead of night. A magical race of robots that ends scarcity and creates heaven on earth. A purpose-modified Level 4 robotaxi system that somehow validates a "general solution to self-driving." A car brand down 20%, with nothing but janky wunderwaffens to fight back.
