🚀 Is $99 FSD coming?
Plus: Adam's new note, BofA reduces TSLA PT, Poor Polestar and more
Hey S3XY 🧤, Elon seems to be liking the idea of tweaking FSD subscription prices in a recent post by ‘X‘ user, wherein user is suggesting $99/month FSD price so as to increase take rates; Elon liked two different such posts.
If Tesla were to introduce reduced FSD pricing, now seems like a good idea given that free FSD trials are going on.
Though, $1200 odd bucks yearly for a technology which is broadly considered as ‘monopoly‘ seems cheap. Too cheap actually.
And some other highlights from today’s letter 📨:
Sanctuary AI’s partnership.
Volkswagen China investment plans.
Model S Plaid seats.
Tesla water bottle.
Let’s take a dive..👇🏻

WHISPERS
8/8 predictions coming in hot.
Here's how I think Tesla's Robotaxi unveil will go on 8/8/2024.
One of the things to keep in mind regarding autonomy is that today's cars are not built from the ground up to be self-driving vehicles.

Only time will tell.
If robotaxis is viewed as the "magic model" to replace Model 2 we would view this as a debacle negative for the Tesla story. It would be a risky gamble if Tesla moved away from the Model 2 and went straight to robotaxis. crucial to deliver a Model 2 vehicle in our view 🏆🍿
