Jo Bhakdi“I think we go up $30 probably this week. But latest next week.”
Thesis at the time
Strongly BullishThe speaker believes Tesla is dramatically undervalued given its combined businesses (core auto, energy, robotaxi/Cybercab, and Optimus). He argues Optimus is a secretly-progressing, potentially massive catalyst that the market has not yet priced in, with a 10-million-unit factory build-out signaling serious commercial intent.
Key arguments
- Tesla is building a 10-million-unit-per-year Optimus factory, showing real capital commitment, not just hype.
- Jason Calacanis's factory visit and endorsement suggest Optimus hardware is 1.5-2 generations ahead of Chinese competitors.
- Tesla stock is 'ridiculously undervalued' relative to its core business, energy, robotaxi, and Optimus catalysts.
- Multiple catalysts (Cybercab launch Sept 3, Optimus commercial launch next year) are expected to re-rate the stock.
Counter-arguments acknowledged
- Optimus is unlikely to move the stock in the near term (today, next week, or 'anytime soon').
- A rally back to 400-420 could trigger a 'sell the news' event.
Hedges and caveats (from the video)
- No explicit financial advice disclaimer present in transcript
- Prediction relies heavily on third-party testimony (Jason Calacanis) rather than official Tesla statements
- Robotics commercialization timeline and market adoption remain uncertain
- Comparison to iPhone success is speculative
- No specific price targets or financial metrics provided
- Factory construction and supply contracts do not guarantee successful product launch or profitability
