We also discuss Tesla's plans to launch an unsupervised full self driving service in California and Texas sometime in 2025, and how that rollout could play out. Then we dive into the progress Tesla has shown with Optimus and if that may hit the market before Cybercab. Finally, we discuss the upcoming US presidential election and the potential impacts that could have on Tesla with Elon's support of Donald Trump. I had a BLAST with this discussion, huge shoutout to Farzad for coming on the show!

After just watching the livestream, my FOMO is pumping. The haters will say the timeline is slow, but we just saw the future. Mini Cybertruck robotaxis, Cybercabs, and Robovans ... Optimus robots walking around the party and serving drinks.

Things are getting CRAZY as I stayed up til 5am researching Airbnb stock and listening to the earnings calls. The fomo was pumping so hard on Friday I executed a pretty gutsy and insane options position. Buying the $200 strike calls expiring in January of 2026. Long story short, I think Airbnb stock is going to get re rated in that time as growth and profitability continue. Brian Chesky is an absolute monster founder, I'm stoked to be an investor in his company.
I will post a more thorough update soon but had to get this out as I'm so hyped!!
Remember nothing on this show is financial advice! Clearly I'm a biased shareholder and options holder of Airbnb!
Let me know what you think in the comments below :)Disrupting EV Service & Repairs with Joe Pak, Founder of AmberHyperChange2024-09-25 | EVs are more like computers than cars. Early data is showing they can last 500,000+ miles, much further than the legacy gas cars they are disrupting. This is setting the state for an unprecedented change in the transportation economy, where ride sharing and autonomy become the norm over individual car ownership. With Waymo expanding rapidly, and Tesla on the cusp of a major self-driving announcement on 10/10, things are heating up ...
This video is my conversation with the Founder and CEO of Amber, Joe Pak. He has a front row seat to the electric + autonomous revolution. Amber is building a quasi-insurance/warranty service specifically for EVs (or robots on wheels). Amber basically offers healthcare to your electric car or robot.The startup has just expanded its EV extended warranty products for Teslas, from 11 to 47 states. The company continues to expand rapidly and you can find the latest on their website.

Elon Musk just replied to this post on X saying "Interesting" so I thought it was worth posting the clip here to YouTube. He's running a poll as we speak on X to see what people think. I can't believe this might happen. It would be super exciting for Tesla investors :)

Revenue of $25.5B (+2.3%) and profits of $1.6B. On the earnings call CEO Elon Musk stressed the importance of FSD, and how its set to transform Tesla's business. He confirmed the Robotaxi unveiling will be on 10/10, and provided an update on Optimus, saying it will begin Version 1 production in 2025, and Version 2 production to outside customers in 2026. Overall the call was a little boring. We are in a quiet/chill period for Tesla until 2025 when the cheaper model & robotaxi launch. I think a big catalyst may be brewing with another OEM licensing Tesla's FSD. What are your thoughts on the quarter??

In this episode I explain my metaphor for analyzing stocks as Pokemon to understand businesses, and layering that framework to understand Tesla. The trifecta of technology pillars that Elon & squad have developed (battery and driving train, self driving & mass market sustainable manufacturing) are combining to disrupt transportation, energy and soon labor (with the Optimus robot). Owning Tesla equity is owning a basket of technologies that are only getting more relevant and whose monetization is on the cusp or ramping dramatically. There is no other way I want to store my hard earned guap, and that is why Tesla stock is still my #1 position and largest investment holding (I've been a shareholder for 13+ years now).

Now that the details have emerged of the deal, it doesn't look as strong for Rivian. Clearly they are being forced to dilute heavily to get enough cash for survival. Initially shares soared on this news, but with this out it'll be interesting to see the trading tomorrow. Overall I think its still good Rivian has $1B more in cash and a new partner, but the dilution will be material and more than expected.

We need to pay ElonHyperChange2024-06-05 | Tesla's upcoming shareholder meeting is on June 13th, and it may be the most important ever. Unlike most years where voting is a snoozefest, this year it really matters. There are two massive propositions on the ballot, the first is moving to Texas, the second is re-approving Elon Musk's 2018 pay package. I voted FOR both. I've been baffled that a Delaware judge has tried to retroactively cancel one of the most shareholder friendly CEO packages in history. This is beyond messed up. This is bigger than Tesla, shareholder democracy in America is on the line. I encourage every Tesla shareholder to vote for approving Elon's pay package, and paying him justly for the work he did making Tesla so valuable and changing the world. THANK YOU ELON :)

I'm in Broomfield, CO for the opening of Lightship's brand new factory!! Set to begin production of the L1 later this year, Lightship is just ~6 months away from delivering its first units!! I've been an investor in Lightship for 3 years now, and it's incredible to see them come this far. With solar panels, a huge battery, and a super cool aerodynamic/telescoping design, the Lightship looks straight out of Star Wars. I can't wait to see Cybertrucks towing these on the road!!!

Tesla's in-house designed chip is incredibly energy efficient and allows the cars to make split second decisions on the road. This same technology will be repurposed to make the Tesla robot think in real-time. This is a gamechanger! I was listening to the BG2 podcast while Supercharging and had this thought!

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 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.

We used Jfilche's 2020 Model Y, equipped with FSD. The first try didn't go so well as it was swerving at a slightly uncomfortable high speed, so we disengaged. The second try was a great success as it swerved around the pillars. I'm still waiting for it to change lanes inbetween pillars/under the monorail, so testing shall continue! I wanted to try this version before v12 comes out :)

The question is do they have enough cash to pull off getting these into production? Rivian's brand and product lineup are incredible, but the economics behind the company have struggled, as they continue to lose more than $1B per quarter. What is Apple came in and acquired Rivian? Apple just shut down its self-driving/electric vehicle project, maybe now is the perfect time. $10B-$20B to acquire & fund Rivian is a super small number for Apple. It could easily be done with no dilution. Will Tim Cook make this crazy move to help Apple get enough data to build a self-driving car? It would be epic! Let me know your thoughts in the comments!!

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!

Now Waymo is approved for almost the whole Silicon Valley/SF/Bay Area peninsula as well as Los Angeles. It may take some time to roll out the service into these new geographies, but this is a very bullish sign of what's to come from Alphabet's moonshot. Originally, I was a huge Waymo skeptic, but now after a ride in SF a few months ago, I became a believer. It's smooth, fast, and very comfortable. There's a good chance they're losing money on every ride, but the potential for this to be a gamechanger is undeniable.

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!!

Had to do an off the cuff rant with Jfilche about our thoughts on earnings, cash flow, dilution and the R2. Still holding my tiny Rivian position but not hyped on the results :( more analysis comin soon!I Drove Naviers Flying Electric Boat 🤯HyperChange2024-02-17 | Vlogging my trip to the Bay Area, where I visited Navier, HyperGuap's newest investment. Navier is an electric flying boat startup based in Alameda, CA with the epic vision of turning our waterways into highways to transport people and goods. Their first product is the N30 a 6-12 person hydrofoiling water taxi. Because it flies above the Water the Navier is ultra energy & cost efficient. Founded in 2020, this is one of the fastest companies ever to bring a new boat design into production. They just signed a partnership with Stripe to transport employees to their Silicon Valley offices. This was SUCH a fun day for me.

Is the stock worth a look? Will the company ever be profitable? Has innovation died? The future for Snap is pretty boring at the current trajectory. Here are my thoughts on the company after a listener (shoutout Ben) called out in to G 2 a Milly.
Disclaimer: I own no Snap stock. This is not financial advice.CLIP⚡ What would make me sell Tesla?HyperChange2024-02-14 | What would make me sell shares of my biggest investment and favorite company Tesla? If Elon stopped working at the company would be the biggest reason I can think of. Other than that if the financial situation changes and earnings/cashflow outlook changes significantly. For now though, Tesla appears to be in incredible shape and is my top financial holding.
Disclaimer as of the publishing of this video I own Tesla shares and am not a financial advisor.CLIP ⚡ Never Trade OptionsHyperChange2024-02-14 | Describing my Apple options trade saga, where I bought calls because of the potential of Apple's Vision Pro VR/AR headset, but then quickly got stressed and just decided to buy the stock instead. Learning a priceless life lesson about why options never (or very very rarely) worth the stress and buy and hold is the move for me.
Disclaimer as of the publishing of this video I own Apple shares.CLIP ⚡ Buying Rivian StockHyperChange2024-02-14 | Clip from G 2 a Milly Episode 4 where I discuss why I took a position in Rivian stock. Rivian has plenty of cash ($10B+), and is on the cusp of improving gross margins. If they can keep growing and successfully launch the R2 platform I think there is a ton of potential with Rivian stock. The R2 is getting unveiled officially in early March. Can't wait!
Disclaimer I own Rivian stock and may sell at any time.$5.6K | Investing in Rivian + Apple Options Drama ❄️HyperChange2024-02-13 | Episode #4 of G 2 a Milly. So many moves made!

As of the time of this episode, the portfolio consists of 40% Tesla, 27% Apple, 23% Coinbase, 5% Rivian, 4% Bitcoin.

I loved the handling, build quality, new interior features. For $45,990, the long-range version (341 mile range and 4.2 second 0-60 time) is an incredible deal. We thought it was so good, it's almost better than our Model Ys! What do you think, are you going to order the new Tesla Model 3??

This case was brought by a shareholder with 9 shares!? WTF. This is a total surprise and marks a moment I never thought would happen in American Capitalism ... one where a court can overrule the fair democratic process of a public company. This has PROFOUND implications for the American corporate system, innovation here, and obviously Tesla as well. It's still an evolving situtation, let me know what you think in the comments.

What if Tesla just did a massive share buy back to reduce its share-count (giving Elon more % control). It might be too early, and would have to start slow, but in the long run this seems like an inevitable way to return capital to shareholders. What's your take on this?
Disclaimer: I'm long Tesla stock.Elon Should Control TeslaHyperChange2024-01-16 | Tesla drama over the long-weekend as Elon Musk posted on X about his ownership and voting control of the company. Now that he's completed his 2018 compensation package, Elon isn't being paid to run Tesla, and has below 25% voting control. Now he's made it clear he wants at least 25% of the voting shares, but a Delaware court case is holding up his discussions with the board of directors to make this happen. I personally am invested in Tesla because of Elon and think we should do whatever it takes to give him control and keep him happy. What are your thoughts on the situtation??

From my initial video about the company through my time on the board of directors, I open up about my lessons learned go through my whole history with the company. Every investment is a case study, it's important to remember you'll always have losers in your portfolio and to learn what you can and move on. Always getting better. Shoutout to everyone at Arcimoto who gave it their all.

Magrathea is a game-changing startup in Oakland, extracting magnesium from ocean water, using just electricity. This could radically reduce the environmental impact of making structural metal, which accounts for 10% of global emissions. If Magrathea can scale it's technology, it will drastically reduce the cost of magnesium and mean we can make it from renewable electricity in America! Major shoutout to Alex and Jacob for the tour, and Aidan for filming, I had a blast making this video and am STOKED to be an investor in this startup :)
