Solving The Money Problem“All this FSD is catching on and it's going to be bigger and bigger and bigger and this is going to drive... they're growing 55% overall increase a year.”
Thesis at the time
BullishRon Baron, a longtime Tesla and SpaceX shareholder, says now is the time to buy Tesla stock, citing accelerating FSD adoption and Tesla's resilient market share as legacy automakers scale back their EV ambitions. He frames Tesla's self-driving technology as a major differentiator that will keep driving demand.
Key arguments
- FSD take rate is rising, with 55% of new buyers opting for self-driving, and Baron expects this to keep growing.
- Legacy automakers are abandoning their EV plans, which is allowing Tesla's US market share to increase again.
- Personal anecdote about his Tesla's self-driving capability (stopping for ducks, navigating to a restaurant) illustrates his conviction in the product's quality.
- Tesla and SpaceX together make up the vast majority of his firm's assets under management, reflecting extremely high personal conviction.
Hedges and caveats (from the video)
- Ron Baron's past performance does not guarantee future results
- Concentrated positions in two stocks represent significant portfolio risk
- SpaceX is a private company with limited liquidity compared to public markets
- Video includes sponsored content (AG1) which may indicate promotional bias
- Long-term investment horizon required; not suitable for short-term traders
