TSLABearunverifiable
Randy Kirk“If you look at the momentum right now for Tesla on the daily, it's going to come down.”
Thesis at the time
BullishThe hosts see strong underlying demand signals for Tesla (record China production, sold-out US inventory, Cybertruck sold out into next year) and view the current stock price as below what they consider fair value. They also see near-term positive catalysts in the Cyber Cab rollout, a potential shareholder-meeting merger announcement, and unadvertised FSD demand, which make them reluctant to cap upside by selling covered calls.
Key arguments
- China production hit a record 95K in July, putting the quarter near 300K units
- US inventory is essentially sold out and Cybertruck is sold out until next year after a price increase
- Cyber Cab robotaxi service in Austin is becoming more usable with shorter wait times and cheap rides, seen as a positive real-world signal
- FSD (not the vehicle) is viewed as the real product and is under-marketed relative to its safety benefits
- Upcoming catalysts (Cyber Cab event, shareholder meeting, possible merger news) create near-term risk/reward that argues against selling covered calls
Counter-arguments acknowledged
- Daily chart momentum suggests a near-term pullback before further upside
- Uncertainty remains about whether a merger will actually be announced at the shareholder meeting
Hedges and caveats (from the video)
- Inventory reduction may be necessary to achieve production targets
- Cyber Cab event expectations are speculative
- Analysis based on partial production data and fan reports rather than official guidance
- Weather and seasonal factors acknowledged as variables

Confidence Reasoning
Repeated certainty language ('it is going to come down') is offset by a disclaimer that it's 'not a prediction, just what the market tells us'.
