Elon Musk is betting on Tesla's autonomous future. The company is going all out to perfect its FSD technology and launch a Uber competitor/ride-sharing app later this year. After hearing Elon's excitement on FSD V12, on the conference call, mentioning the Cybercab, and stressing how important it was for investors to understand ... I've been doing homework on Tesla's self driving tech. I stumbled across the BG2 podcast, Episode 4 about Tesla's FSD v12, which does an INSANELY good job breaking down the incredible progress in Tesla's underlying tech, and how this is Tesla's 'ChatGPT' moment with real world AI. The BG2 podcast is hosted by Bill Gurley and Brad Gerstner. I highly recommend checking it out!!

Tesla Q1 2024 earnings are hot off the press! Tesla crushes it with a surprise $1B+ GAAP profit, strong guidance and and absolutely legendary conference call. Tesla is going all in on FSD with the new V12 rewrite, and its Robotaxi event on 8/8, where it looks like the 'Cybercab' will be unveiled. Elon Musk shocked Tesla fans and shareholders on the earnings call when he said the new cheaper vehicle would be ready for production as soon as late 2024 or early 2025. What are your thoughts on the quarter!? I was so stoked I bought $2,000 worth of Tesla stock today!! Also a little bit of a sad call at the end with head of IR Martin Viecha leaving the company.

Tesla stock falls to it's lowest in years, and I'm buying. Here's my rant on everything from the recent layoffs, Elon's motivation & pay package, to the Robotaxi launch on 8/8, Cybertruck progress, Austin factory expansion, FSD taking over & so much more!! I even read my Ode to Austin & Cybertruck Poem lol.

It's going to be a rough 2 years for Rivian. I decided to sell my tiny position, as I think dilution is coming. Rivian has only ~$9B in cash, and is burning $1.4B per quarter. The company can't make money on it's $100K R1S & R1T, so I'm not convinced they will be able to make a profit on the $45,000 R2. I love the company and brand, but the business is really struggling right now, and I'm worried shareholders could get screwed if dilution ramps up. Let me know your thoughts on Rivian, and the comparison to Tesla below!!

Rivian has officially unveiled it's R2, a $45,000 electric vehicle set to debut in 2026. It was an epic unveiling event, and very highly anticipated by the whole EV community. Rivian didn't just unveil it's R2, but CEO/Founder RJ Scaringe also unveiled a totally new, even smaller R3 platform. This was super unexpected, and paves way for the ultra-performance R3X. There's a lot to digest here forsure, but one thing is clear, Rivian is onto something big. I went to a live-screening of the even and the hype was palpable. If Rivian can work through its financial troubles and deliver an amazing R2 for $45,000 this will be a huge success. Shoutout to Rivian!

Interview with Sampriti Bhattacharyya, whose electric flying boat startup, Navier, promises to transform how we move people and goods in our coastal cities. In just 4 years, Navier has gone from concept to entering production. The Alameda, CA based startup has already signed a deal to shuttle Strip employees back and forth across the bay. This is our newest HyperGuap investment (my VC firm) and I couldn't be more fired up about the potential! I rode in a Navier in SF and was blown away at the product, smooth, quiet, and luxurious ... transforming what it means to be on a boat. The company's mission is to be America's next great maritime company, I hope they crush it!! 0:00 Intro 0:30 Turning Waterways into Highways 2:08 Ultra Efficient & Better Boating Experience 6:14 Partnership with Stripe 12:02 Navier’s Pace of Innovation & Progress 16:01 “Prototypes are easy, production is hard” - Elon Musk 23:49 Why now? 26:14 American Dynamism/Manufacturing 28:24 Did Elon Musk ride the boat?!  29:05 What other boats could Navier build? 33:29 Autonomous Boats  35:37 How Navier Could Change our cities
