Randy Kirk“People should be buying this all day long and they should buy Tesla all day long at 335.”
Thesis at the time
BullishThe hosts discuss Tesla's Nevada approval for up to 5,000 robotaxis as a major bullish catalyst, alongside upcoming Optimus production and Cybercab economics. Randy Kirk argues the current ~$335 price is a strong entry point and expects the stock to keep recovering after its earlier decline.
Key arguments
- Tesla received Nevada approval to deploy up to 5,000 robotaxis over the next 12 months, expanding beyond the initial 10-vehicle permit.
- Optimus manufacturing line is being set up at the former SNX space in Fremont, with a proof-of-concept bot expected soon and third-party sales/rentals targeted for second half of next year.
- Cybercab's low production cost (~$18,000) versus competitors like Waymo charging $100,000 gives Tesla a fleet cost advantage.
- Current price around $335 is seen as a good long-term entry point for five-year holders.
Counter-arguments acknowledged
- Bradford Ferguson worries that launching Cybercab at $1/mile instead of $2/mile could reduce robotaxi profitability and valuation.
- Concern that if Tesla simply replaces the Model Y with Cybercabs without further innovation, it would be disappointing to the stock.
- Uncertainty about federal regulations for autonomous driving across multiple states.
Hedges and caveats (from the video)
- Uncertainty about how large the Cyber Cab opportunity will be and timeline for profitability
- Federal autonomous driving regulations not yet established
- Optimus development status unclear with limited public information
- Speaker expresses skepticism about near-term stock performance despite long-term optimism
- Multi-city launch complexity and regulatory hurdles across different states
- Recommendation qualified as suitable only for five-year holding period investors
