I Sold All My Rivian Stock 😬 HyperChange 2024-03-19 | 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.

Tesla FSD vs Monorail (v11.4.9) HyperChange 2024-03-10 | Last night (Saturday, March 9th), we tested Tesla's FSD v11.4.9 with the legendary monorail challenge in Seattle. 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!

Why Apple Should Buy Rivian ✨ HyperChange 2024-03-08 | Rivian just unveiled it's new product lineup, the R2, R3 and R3W. 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!!My X/Twitter: twitter.com/gfilcheHyperChange Patreon :) patreon.com/hyperchange Disclaimer: I'm long Rivian stock.
Rivian R2 & R3 Unveil, Initial Thoughts!! HyperChange 2024-03-07 | 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.

Naviers Electric Flying Boat HyperChange 2024-03-06 | Navier, an Alameda, CA based startup, is building much more than flying electric boats. This ultra-efficient way to move people & goods on the water promises to transform our coastal cities at scale. Narrated by Navier CEO/Founder Sampriti Bhattacharyya & Gali Russell, this masterpiece video shot & edited by Arash Malek tells the visionary story of Navier's mission to build America's next great maritime company.

Waymo Is Crushing It HyperChange 2024-03-05 | California regulators have just approved a massive expansion of Google's Waymo self-driving taxi service. 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. my original Waymo vs Tesla video: youtu.be/MGOo06xzCeU?si=8oBJH1TFDn6iIjaTMy X/Twitter: twitter.com/gfilcheHyperChange Patreon :) patreon.com/hyperchange Disclaimer: Nothing in this show is financial advice.
Navier Founder Sampriti Bhattacharyya is Building Electric Flying Boats HyperChange 2024-02-27 | Interview with Sampriti Bhattacharyya, whose electric flying boat startup, Navier, promises to transform how we move people and goods in our coastal cities.

I Drove Naviers Flying Electric Boat 🤯 HyperChange 2024-02-17 | 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. More Navier content is coming!

Elon Should Control Tesla HyperChange 2024-01-16 | Tesla drama over the long-weekend as Elon Musk posted on X about his ownership and voting control of the company.

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.

Magrathea: Sustainable Magnesium & Metal Without Mining 🌊☀️ HyperChange 2023-12-28 | Lab tour and founder interview with Alex Grant & Jacob Brown of Magrathea. 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 :)Magrathea: magratheametals.comAlex Grant X: twitter.com/big_lithiumJacob Brown X: twitter.com/JacobLBrownMy Twitter: twitter.com/gfilcheMy Instagram: instagram.com/gfilcheHyperChange Patreon :) patreon.com/hyperchange Disclaimer: I'm an investor in Magrathea and so is my VC firm HyperGuap.
Tesla Energy & Supercharger Profits Are BOOMING 🔋🔌 HyperChange 2023-12-27 | Tesla recorded $500M+ in gross profit from its Energy and Services (Supercharging) segments in Q3 2023. Elon Musk noted how strong energy gross margins were on the call, and insinuated strength in these businesses will continue. I think this is a super exciting development for Tesla investors as the company can smooth out cyclicality in it's automotive business with consistent profits from its Energy and Services + Other segments. As the Supercharger network is opened up to more companies like Ford and Rivian, this could become a major profit driver for the company.Tesla financial data from Main Street Data (10% off premium with code 'hyperchange'): mainstreetdata.com/TSLAMy Twitter: twitter.com/gfilcheMy Instagram: instagram.com/gfilcheHyperChange Patreon :) patreon.com/hyperchange Disclaimer: I'm long Tesla stock.
Rivian is working on an E-Bike 🚲💫 HyperChange 2023-12-27 | Rivian is apparently working on an E-Bike concept, that could launch under a different/new brand. This has been confirmed by RJ Scaringe, saying that a team of engineers is working on an electric bike product for Rivian. It's unclear if the bike would have pedals and to what extent it would be battery powered. I love this concept and think it fits in perfectly with the Rivian adventure brand niche. I'm a big fan and can't wait to learn more about this when the company is ready. Let me know what you think in the comments below!!My Twitter: twitter.com/gfilcheMy Instagram: instagram.com/gfilcheHyperChange Patreon :) patreon.com/hyperchange I don't own any Rivian stock as of the posting of this video.
Rivian Stock Analysis December 2023 🤓📊 HyperChange 2023-12-23 | Rivian has successfully launched it's R1T, R1S and delivery van products, they are amazing. But financially, the company is in a difficult situation. Cash burn is still above $1B per quarter, and the company will need billions more to fund the R2 factory. Going forward it will be fascinating to see the company walk the tightrope between conserving cash, growth and the long march towards profitability. Especially right as the Cybertruck launches as competition.

Did Starlink Just Hit A $100B Valuation? 📡💸 HyperChange 2023-12-22 | Starlink has officially announced that it has crossed 2.3M users across 70 countries. A rough financial estimate of $100/month/user in revenue means Starlink is at $2.8B in annual recurring revenue. If you add in hardware revenue, we're likely well over a $3B run-rate. Starlink is fully owned by SpaceX, and is rumored to be going for an IPO in the near future. I got super pumped to see these strong user numbers as it puts SpaceX one step closer to funding Mars!Starlink: starlink.comMy Twitter: twitter.com/gfilcheMy Instagram: instagram.com/gfilcheHyperChange Patreon :) patreon.com/hyperchange Disclaimer: I'm invested in SpaceX.
Tesla Robovan for Packages & People 💫 HyperChange 2023-12-21 | Moonshot Monday!! From urban package deliveries, to minbus ride-sharing, an autonomous Tesla Robovan has massive potential. Rivian's electric delivery van concept has delivered 10,000 units to Amazon and on the cusp of expanding to numerous other companies (like AT&T). Elon Musk has hinted at a highly configurable robovan concept for people and cargo in the past. If he does indeed launch it, I think it would crush Rivian's model and could quickly ramp to 100,000s of units per year between package delivery, camper vans and urban ridesharing/minibus. Tesla's advantage in battery costs and manufacturing would give it a key edge in this market. What do you think of a Tesla Robovan/Cybervan? The combination a Teslabot + Robovan seems to have HUGE potential :)My Twitter: twitter.com/gfilcheMy Instagram: instagram.com/gfilcheHyperChange Patreon :) patreon.com/hyperchange Dislaimer: I'm long Tesla stock, this product is not real, it's from my imagination.
ZBiotics: Curing the Hangover with GMO Bacteria 🦠🔬 HyperChange 2023-12-20 | ZBiotics is pushing the limits of technology, by creating a new patented bacteria ZB183 that is designed to eat acetaldehyde in your gut, and reduce the negative affects of drinking AKA curing the hangover.

Rivians New $1B+ Business (Vans) ⚡📦 HyperChange 2023-12-20 | Rivian's electric delivery van (EDV) business has quietly been making some huge moves. It generated over $400M in revenue in Q3 alone, and just signed a new partnership with AT&T. Now that Amazon doesn't have exclusive rights to buy the van Rivian will begin to do pilot projects with a bunch of new customers. Surprisingly, the gross margins on the van are strong, and this will be a key driver of the company's march towards profitability. Rivian's van business/fleet business is already at a $1.2B+ run-rate ... how big do you think it can get??

Cybertruck Sales Projections HyperChange 2023-12-20 | Cybertruck deliveries have begun! With a 2M order backlog the question now becomes how many of these will convert into real orders. In this video I share my projections for Cybertruck sales and demand. Five out of the top eight best-selling vehicles in America are pickup trucks, with a combined 2.1M in sales. The addressable market is clearly massive, but will the crazy design, and electric motor be enough to beat the Ford F-Series for the top spot? Let me know your Cybertruck sales projections below. Right now, I'm estimating 500,000 in 2026 sales at an average selling price of $70,000 generating an incremental $35B in sales for Tesla.Tesla Cybertruck: tesla.com/cybertruckMy Twitter: twitter.com/gfilcheMy Instagram: instagram.com/gfilcheHyperChange Patreon :) patreon.com/hyperchange Dislaimer: I own Tesla stock.

The Tesla Cybertruck is HERE! 🤩 HyperChange 2023-11-28 | Stoke levels are off the charts heading into Thursday's Cybertruck Delivery event. Here's my take on pricing, demand, production and how this crazy electric truck will bring us into a new cyberpunk era. In a bullcase scenario the Cyebrtruck could sell between 500K-750K units per year and drive $50B in revenue for Tesla, although initial production targets are for 250K/year by mid 2025.

Waymo vs Tesla Self-Drive Test w/ Whole Mars HyperChange 2023-11-21 | I met up with Omar from Whole Mars in SF to take a ride in his self-driving Tesla and he sent a driverless Waymo to pick me up! In this video/podcast I show both companies autonomous/self-driving software and compare the two. The Waymo did VERY well, and it was a bit of an off day for Omar's Model S ... but all things considered it's clear Tesla & Alphabet/Google are building the future of transportation and will both be huge winners, with traditional automotive companies in some serious trouble.

Getting Ready To Buy More Tesla Stock HyperChange 2022-12-15 | Tesla shares are down 61% in 2022, from a mix of the market pullback, compressing valuations, and drama surrounding Elon Musk's twitter purchase. In this video, I give my fair value of Tesla stock, when I am looking to start buying, and how focusing on the long-term perspective, will show the real power of Tesla's value creation for shareholders.

Chocolate Habanero Pepper Review 🌶️🔥 HyperChange 2022-12-12 | The pepper sommelier is back. Reviewing a Chocolate Habanero I grew in Seattle, the seeds were from Zihuatanejo, Mexico.

Why Tesla Shouldnt Do A Stock Buyback HyperChange 2022-10-25 | Tesla is floating the idea of a $5-10B stock buyback. I wanted to give my thoughts. Although Tesla's $5.1B of operating cashflow is impressive, it's also good for Tesla to operate prudently with a cash cushion in case of a major global recession or some other unforeseen event. If it's true the only bottleneck is engineers not capital, then I may be able to be convinced in a small buyback. But part of me feels like Tesla is way to early in its maturity as a company, and progress towards achieving its mission to spend capital on a sharebuyback instead of something epic in the real world.Let me know what you think in the comments!!0:00 Buyback Idea1:17 Earnings Quality/Cash Cushion3:23 Elon Deploying Capital4:20 Case FOR a buyback6:48 Crazy ideas for Tesla’s CashMy Twitter: twitter.com/gfilcheMy Instagram: instagram.com/gfilcheHyperChange Patreon :) patreon.com/hyperchange As of 1/30/2022 I'm invested in: Tesla, SpaceX, Bitcoin, Ethereum, Unisocks, VeeFriends, JOYToys, Coinbase, Arcimoto, Dogecoin, Snap, Rainbow Wallet, Atoms, Carta, Pipe, Alloy Automation, Genies, DMN8, Haus, Community, Dadi, Pigeon Loans & others.
