Unfortunately, not all of us were financially literate early. I was 35 when I finally educated myself and started taking steps. I went from $176,000 in debt with zero savings or retirement to now, 2 years later, fully debt-free and over $1000,000 net worth. I know that doesn't SOUND like a lot, but I'm incredibly proud of it. Now I'm fast-tracking my wealth building (investing $400,000 annually) and don't owe a dime to anyone. It's a good feeling!

Don’t be confuse buying the dip in a bear market, with guaranteed future returns. Just because that company is down 60%+ from ATH does NOT make it a sound long-term investment. Make sure you’re investing in great companies. kudos to Adriana Catherine
Guess what, I had a reservation and I bought a Foundation series; being 80 years old I may not have much time to wear it out, and will have to give it to my grand kids along with my wife's model Y.
Saw 2nd one in traffic close up yesterday, makes me want one. Appears smaller than typical full size PU. Really grown on me and nothing like my thoughts when it 1st rolled on stage.
CT: Tesla is trying to maximize margins on the CT by allowing non-reservation holders to order the most expensive/highest margin CT. This also gives them time to ramp and become profitable on the CT. Delaying the bed battery gives the dry battery electrode 4680 time to scale/ramp too.
Foundation was a great deal against $15000 FSD. Once FSD dropped, foundation holds no value. Buy the 79900 take the 7500 tax credit which puts truck with FSD for 80400. 3K for charger and still bargain
I am in Mexico and I had reserved a Cybertruck a few years ago. I received an invite to order a Cybertruck Foundations on August 9th, for delivery starting on September 2024. The price is MXN $2,199,000 for Foundation and MXN $2,599,000 for the CyberBeast.
@@Sannanymous sadly, no, it’s too much money to just be a part of the foundation series owners, plus there have been a few already brought from USA into Mexico (legally or illegally) so being amongst the first is not even a thing now.
I received an email saying I could now buy my Cybertruck in Canada. 137k and 166k , I am waiting for regular dual motor at 80 000 CAD or less. Otherwise I need my shares to 10x
The only thing affecting climate is something we have zero control over. Ocean temperatures are affected by volcanic activity causing massive ice melt and huge co2 release.
A lot of people in the queue after all these years expected not to be able to buy for another year or two or even three, and planned accordingly, expecting to keep their current vehicles another few years. People with extra money lying around may jump at the chance to spent $100,000+ but many want to buy in the $80,000 range with more mature technology, features and quality. Interest rates matter too, given expectation of significant drops by mid next year. I am one of those patient ones, happy to stay in the queue for now.
Hey Matt, I had a reservation for a rear wheel drive. I believe they stopped taking orders because most reservations were for the rear-wheel-drive model. Back ordered for a couple years. I canceled mine only because I needed a truck right now. Wound up with a 23 Lightning Platinum. Great truck. But it will get traded in for the CT when the rear drive is available.
The chart at 19:25 should compare the average selling price of BYD's to Toyotas as they are both mass market companies while Tesla should be compared to BMWs as they are both performance market companies.
Model S Plaid scar, I bought a 2021 Plaid S for approximately 140k. Same exact car now goes for 109k. I will not make the same mistake with the cyber truck. Ill wait
I think foundation series will be collectable. It will be worth a ton a money in the future to car collectors because there are not many of them ant they represent a huge change in automotive tech.
I am willing to wait for a cheapest version of cybertruck. I understand that cybertruck is expensive to make, so it is fair for Tesla to prioritize more expensive versions
I’m surprised at the amount of foundation models that are selling… I’ll wait but the range is still somewhat of an issue for me & the extender is a no go…first day reservation holder…
Just talked to a freind who owns a model 3 but the old model. He still loves the car and say it is the best car he ever owned. Immagine jow great the new model 3 is compared to that then. Also all new Teslas now has cameras with 5x better resolution and Hardware 4 !
What happened to the low cost car model. Personally, not at all seriously interested in a big pickup or FSD or any of the 100K + models. Not at all interested in X or any of the pol speak. Hoping Elon will set the auto side free to chart a more main stream path. Certainly keep a focus on development of the new markets, but the continued delay on the mass market model is a huge mistake IMO.
The problem they are probably having is with 4680. They said they are ahead of the Cybertruck ramp m, but not how far ahead. They may not be far enough to support production of the range extender and the continued ramp of the truck.
Fred has gone pretty negative against Tesla and I note alot of his articles now have incorrect info. Don't know what's up there but he's not a good source of info anymore.
When they open up CyberTruck configuration and delivery to Australia, that's when you know they have a demand problem. South East Asia (APAC) is a large truck market (we call them utes). I still think it will be 3-5 years until the CyberUte comes to Australia.
Hey Matt, what did you do to p*$$ off youtube?! I resubscribe at least every other video of yours that I watch, I believe. Every time I check, I'm unsubscribed again, but I only notice this when it comes to your channel. I still watch every video though, so keep it going.
@tedmoss I don't know if Matt has any gold stars left, but you can ask him. Or were you just insinuating that I was lying? I don't need the attention that you must need, based on your comment. I was only letting Matt know that there is something going on and I'm not sure of the cause. Cheers.
I remeber when I put $1,000 deposit on a rear wheel drive model 3, it took years to come to market after the M3 was released, after the more expensive models were sold first, it's just basic economics for Tesla.
Where do you think Tesla will get the electricity to run the AI in Austin? Bastrop TX has a large gas turbine generator and the Austin grid has a coal fired plant as well.
This is how it works, first you baseload the cheapest generators, solar and wind when available, atomic if you have it , then you load the coal and then you load the gas (and oil if you have it). Pre-supposing you buy anything cheaper from your neighbors, a problem in Texas because you have no neighbors. Better get them Mega-packs going baby! Shave the peak! The point being to use the cheapest generator available. Hydro is left out of this equation because of limited availability, those that have it use it.
@@tedmoss that is not how it works. It's the ERCOT that control the grid. The Austin are has hydro, natural gas and coal. It's western Texas that has significant solar energy. It really would be interesting to see how ERCOT will handle an AI complex.
Worrying about C02 ppm in terms of what causes headaches is the DUMBEST THING I’VE EVER HEARD. We are at the highest concentration in the last millions and millions of years, and the rate of change is 100x faster than previous natural increases. You won’t have to worry about headaches if the atmosphere gets to 1000ppm because in all likelihood you won’t be alive.
Dude....how long have u been following Tesla. 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂 Your reservation number means nothing. Your location and how close it is to a Tesla factory means everything.
If the FSD rollout in market takes as long as insurance.... both is complex products with regional differences.... FSD will take this century globally. :-D
@@tedmoss FSD is not a general solution. You even have different regulations in the USA depending on state. And FSD has to be adopted to all different roadsigns, markings and regulations in each country. The driving is general, but how to act in different countries will differ. As with insurances in every country.
Lmao. That interview was as boring as listening to a couple high school girls talking about their boy troubles. Now go buy some trump superhero trading cards or some other dumb shit he's selling to his moronic followers😅
First Musk states that Tesla's mission is to "accelerate the world's transition to sustainable energy." Now he states that he is a "moderate". Seems like a regression to me. Next, will Tesla be making V8s and diesels?
The whole point of an exoskeleton with flat panels was to make an unbelievable low cost truck with amazing specs. The price alone makes it a complete failure. By the time the price is reduced the public opinion will already be made.
No one I know says Elon is clever, they say he is a genius and I agree, but as always its in the willingness to take a chance and staying with it until it is done. Edison was the same, but not a genius. (Tesla was). Just comparing the three. Its the overselling that makes people think climate change is not as some say it is. I know 400 PPM CO2 is bad but 800 PPM will kill you, we can't wait that long, do something about it now.
Why? I own a Ford F-150 v8 RWD with a 8 foot bed. I don't need off road capabilities. I don't need 14,000 pounds of towing. A RWD Cybertruck could meet my needs.
@@Dularr Nice. I have a Dodge Ram 1500. What you say is true. I was thinking in terms of that dude Idaho farmer Braden Smith. Tesla tends to get a lot of negative comments not from people like you necessarily who have realistic expectations but those that always want more. That was why say a $80,000 AWD dual motor vehicle seems to make sense to me so T covers all bases at an achievable price. Of course single motor rear wheel drive should also become available.
Saudi Arabia has an interest in X. What do you think of that? Could this be why Elon is a little more hesitant to transition into alternative energy sources?
No, Elon has said, and I concur, the same things for thirty years now. Fossil fuels are what got us here, now its time to make a change. Lets make it economically viable so everyone will do it.
@@tedmoss then you recall the presentation he shared that said a solar farm the size of the Texas panhandle would be enough for all of our energy needs? Why no talk of that?

Tesla improving on service is something to follow. Even after layoffs?
It is going to need to improve if Robotaxi is successful. 21:06
Why would that be? When it gets dirty, just buy a new one. (Actually Tesla has taken out patents on cleaning).
Your hair is distracting.... love ya tho... maybe a #2 clipper fade....comb it forward like a flow hawk....
