Not a Tesla or Elon 'hater', but this move was pretty moronic.
Not only do they have to re-create a team of individuals to replace people who were already trained & integrated - but, think about it:
What top-level engineer, etc is going to take a chance on going to a company that just 'cleaned house' in such an arbitrary & capricious (and public) fashion?.. Nobody wants that kind of drama, even if they're a 'true believer.' And those who are still there are probably weighing their options.
I'd heard they hired back one of the top SuperCharger people and the only thing I could think of was that guy must have gotten his own lawyer to write an iron-clad severance package as part of his contract. Between Twitter and Tesla you would have to be insane to work for Musk without one.
No, top engineers see it as an opportunity
I often like to think I’m fired then find out I’m not a week later. Makes me love my job.
Good thing Elon does not ask your opinion before he makes a decision. Tesla got 6.5 MILLION job applications in 2023.
So much for people not wanting to work at Tesla.
@@patrickcorcoran4828probably incorrect thinking. Elon's policy is if you don't have to hire back some you did not fire enough to start with
Elon gets bored and he needs a new project to keep himself excited.
Have your kids become Plumbers or electricians!
I’m realizing we’re going to have way too many of them in the future. Social workers, plumbers, electricians, HVAC, etc. needs to be a job that is very unpredictable.
Agree. I'm 70 and back in the workforce to earn twice as much now as a handyman as I did in any other job.
@@Anon-xb9pcRobots don’t have the dexterity to get under your sink
@@Longtack55 probably due to inflation more than anything else.
@@WillR-Cincy dont be too sure about it. If they can be made to "think", getting under the sink has a much much lower bar to jump over.
If you fire and rehire they lose their vesting rights for the stock options, and have to start over again.
Not how that works. When rehired you get a pay increase and more stock to make up for what you lost and then some.
@@davidbeppler3032 BS. The big IF you get rehired. Why do you think they get fired in the first place? It's a cost cutting measure. They don't get hired back at an increase, or even the same level in a no-union shop. You got it confused with a workplace that has a collective bargaining agreement regarding "temporary layoffs" Smarten up.
@@howardj602 Until Tesla no company had ever fired anyone. Tesla is evil. Right?
@@howardj602you don’t come back unless you’re made whole.
Otherwise you take the job and coast til you find a new job.
@@xiaoka I can see that you probably never worked for a corporation in your life.
Dropping your bread & butter activity to pivot to what you think is your core business rarely ends well. Look at Philips, for instance. The real question is: is Tesla already pivoting, or are they simply ramping up their FSD effort (which they should) and expanding into robotics, while at the same time keeping their car business competitive by firing some redundant staff?
Hard to say. The recent confusing over a cheap Model 2 hasn’t helped. Sometimes Musk is his own worst enemy on X…
Nobody said Tesla will stop building cars. Also, FSD? For their cars. Robots? To build their cars. The fact they can spin off and become huge in their own rights is a big plus. If not then they still become key parts of producing a low cost autonomous car.
There is no confusion over the cheap Model 2. They wanted to produce them next year but 4680 is not ramping their want and I suspect their unboxing method is not far enough along, so they pushed it back to 2027 or so.
Phillip.
I wonder if we are witnessing the collapse of Tesla. What if Elon is wrong here.
@@scoty_does No we aren't. That's ridiculous.
Phillip.
maybe not dropping...but like Apple and moving to Phones because they see a profitable market window
Rarely ends well.....my Amazon and Apple shares are proof of the contrary
Maybe there is a conversation going on out there somewhere about how Tesla seems to be losing it's original vision which was to save humanity from the the global warming nightmare of fossil fuels and internal combustion but I don't know where that conversation is happening. I don't see how replacing the global workforce with robots accomplishes this original goal. There was also the talk about spreading human conciousness throughout the universe. I also don't see robots accomplishing this goal. Everyone just seems psyched about all the money Tesla will make now which is kind of pathetic.
you need fairy tales to keep your workforce motivated to give up everything for their work and accept poor conditions and your investors convinced that they are in it for moral reasons.
At the end of the day, everything is always about money. Who has it and who does not. All the tech bro bs and bluster about saving the world and human conciousness spreding is just smoke and mirrors to distract the gullible while they grab the cash and the political power that comes with it. It's a cult and a scam.
Trying to buy a Model Y Performance now, and am AMAZED by just how pathetic Tesla’s sales efforts are.
How about Tesla start making at least a minimal effort at their Galleries. Don’t answer or return calls, and staffed by rude, slow children who act as though they’re doing you a favor. Not good!
Probably a reflection of the company environment. Hiring the cheapest labour with no job security and, from my experience, very little training. When you compare to a legacy premium brand the lack of customer service is quite confronting.
There's no incentive for the sales guys to give exemplary service as they don't get paid commission. They are just there to set up test drives, show you the features and answer questions you might have. I think they are trained not to be overbearing car sales people.
I've always found the sales reps to be straightforward and professional whenever I've been into a showroom.
@@mshackleton1 Apparently so, Bro. Hell, its as if they actively DON’T want me to buy the friggin’ thing. I fully understand that this isn’t the typical automotive sales structure, but I’ve never seen anything like this before.
@@ReconMan8654 yeah when I went in recently the guy said, "If you want to put a deposit down, we can do it now, but I'm just placing an order through the website the same way you would from home, so no pressure."
You should buy a Lucid instead. Don't buy the Model Y. Lucid will give you a reach around just for taking a test drive.
If you go into Ford to buy a Mach E, they will attack you and call your mother names.
The firings were brutal. One person moved his family to another state a week before he was fired.
Its always like that. Never let yourself believe your employer cares about you. Never trust them.
What state they move from?
Right decision. Our future will be software and AI. Apple does not produce an iphone, it designs, and controls the software
if this happened frequently it shows incompetence in the leadership.
Moving state is nothing. 😂
So many people move countries and some jobs are cut within few months to a year. They are not even allowed to stay back and look for a new job for more than couple months.
If the 25K car looks good, they’re going to sell a ton of those here in Europe. The VW ID3 costs 39K for the small battery and 47K for the bigger battery in Austria. That’s just too expensive for a hatchback. If Tesla can get this car to be under 30K and get close to 300miles/482km it’ll sell like crazy. Even a legit 250 miles would be good enough.
I think they will, although if they get to level 4 autonomy, there is more money to be made from those cars.
@@garethrobinson2275 To get it to work in super tight urban areas in old European cities is truly daunting. It sounds like it’s already doing well on highways and B roads but in urban high density areas…it’s going to take a long time. Just so many things to account for including other bad drivers.
@@benjacobs2560 I used to think this but AI has excelled in so many areas which people thought would absolutely never happen. Tesla has the data and now it has the compute, it will happen and it will happen in a few short years. Keep watching V12 as it upgrades to V13 FSD.
I'd consider buying one... but my MG4 is basically that car, its £32k so not quite $25k but in the UK you have to add VAT and import duties so it was never going to cost $25k which is something like £22k.
29 means 39 in EV promises. Elon doesn't care anymore.
As a thirty year legacy auto dealership technician, this career has allowed me to support families, parents, homeless, immigrants, provide disaster relief, donate generously to charity, serve in the US Army, will a robot do the same?
the rich get richer - replacing people with robots means the savings become profit to shareholders, institutional investors and the CEO in the form of bonuses and dividends.
Yes, and much more.
The robots will literally do all that you listed.

I presume a lot of the former employees fired by Tesla at no or short notice will show Tesla a big, juicy middle finger, as well they should...
You have a job waiting for you at other companies if you worked for Tesla!!!! Not all people who get fired deserve to stay at the company, if they are, they are hired again. To much emotion it losing a job. Get another one, done.
Yes, if a company paid me 30% more than the union (in stock), then fired me, I also would be mad. How dare you pay me so much! Now I can't find another job that pays as much or more! I am privileged and to get even I will destroy the wealth you gave me by voting to cut the share price in half!
I once worked for a company called Nortel. Jobs were lost in their radios, capacitors and valve divisions, only to be rehired in semiconductors. No one went out the gate. (Nortel did go into receivership at a later date)
Your last point tells us all we need to know about 'recycling' staff endlessly.
Nice of them.
Are you saying that Tesla will end up in bankruptcy ?
Musk tried to fool people into believing that Tesla is a tech company, now people are catching up to his con and no longer believe Musk ‘s bs. Tesla is a car manufacturer with great technology. Now Musk is pivoting Tesla into robotics hoping to dupe big institutions and get them to continue to invest into his bs. Musk is a smart man but he is also a conman. He always over promises and under delivers. Investors are finally are getting tired of getting burned. BTW I thought that Musk got into EVs bc he wanted to save the planet ? I guess now the planet and all of us are doomed bc the savior is no longer saving us. lol. 🤥🤥. Musk doesn’t have the most advanced robots and robots competition will be greater than it was for musk when he took over Tesla. Tesla had no competition so musk was able to upsell the company’s product. He will not be able to do the same with robotics. Will musk use the robots to save the planet now😂😂😂😂
@@marcovaldovinos4754 No no. I was saying nobody went redundant at that time. It was only later Nortel went bankrupt through financial mismanagement. Which was unrelated.
Just firing highly qualified people on a whim because of some number to send a message just plainly sucks. Take a hike Elon!
Exactly.... Who wants to work for a flake that has zero care or loyalty and will fire you for no reason while he's going through one of his Tantrums. I am sure he turned off many talented people that would normally want to work there to never even apply. For job security, I know I wouldn't. Its time for Elon to be stripped of those type of powers at Tesla before it becomes too late.
Go to Mars Elon . . .
It seems to me that Musk is much more focused on playing the stock market than actually running a profitable business.
Don't believe everything you hear in the news. Elon is executing his secret master plan published years ago.
@@michaelmcgrath7465 May be Elon has reached an age where he is no longer what he used to be; the only thing left is to milk the stock market on his past achievements
I.T. will never been replaced because we have to maintian and improve these systems. So looks to be a boom in IT again in the future.
I hope these new workers demand a higher salary and a generous severance package. Follow Musk's example and ask for a $10m bonus just for turning up 2 days per week.
Um... to get the Elon bonus they would have to work for 10 years for free then get paid $5 million if the production 3x in that time. Then a judge can take it away because the boss that offered the pay dated their neighbors cousin and did not divulge that when the pay was negotiated.

@@juliahello6673 Its the way it was done, not good for the company
or certainly the workers.
What happened to 20 million cars by 2030. I mean what about SMR's spreadsheet?
I expect Tesla to build about 4 million Robotaxis in very quick order. Small 2 seater, designed to run around in the city, short 120 mile range so it don't take very many batteries and weighs about half a Model 3? Oh, and rents out for just $0.25/mile. Why sell them for $5.5k when you can rent them out for $30k a year in profits?!
Efficiency is the name of the game. Today they hire AI developers to do jobs that AI will be doing tomorrow.
Thank you Sam!
Tesla's success has come from taking the attitudes of making software and applying it a hardware product. The dominant fact is they massive competition in pure ev from the Chinese and Korean companies, turning ev cars into "commodity products". Its too easy to copy mechanical innovation, whereas in fsd tesla's work is harder to copy and it makes perfect sense to make investments in what else the same "visual learning ai" can do. 3:49 Technology is a a bet that when you win you get to double down on the next new thing.
In theory thats great, but we're 7 years from "FSD next year" and its not any closer than it was then. I drove a friend's Tesla with the FSD trial on a 2-hour road trip about a month ago and there were dozens of issues with FSD, but about 8 I think would have gotten me killed if I wasn't paying attention. That's 1 death per 15 minutes of driving. Tesla is claiming they'll have a robo-taxi 5 months after my road trip. I just don't see how thats possible unless they adopt the much better sensor packages and AI used by actual autonomous driving companies like Waymo.
@@patrickcorcoran4828 What tesla is doing is modeling how people drive with a neural net that is organized fairly similarly to how an animal brain works. The fact that having moved from (human)hand written code to using training from video has allowed them to greatly improve the average miles between interventions. There will be a lot of gradual improvements and some big steps forward along the way as they discover new techniques for doing the training. Betters sensors may not help, because the unpredictability is in the human behavior, not so much the physics.
the fact is that there are about 40,000 traffic deaths a year in the US, and people are not perfect drivers. The stat for fsd is something like 600 km per critical engagement.
the point is that fsd is never going to be perfect, but it will get way better than most drivers.
The combination of a person and fsd, will by itself be much safer than just a human, especially if the person is old, tired or sick.
The rate of improvement has been good so I expect about 2 years before the human doesn't really help that much
It will probably take some technical discoveries in how to improve training to get there, in the mean time the ai used in driving will give tesla a huge leg up relative to what others in the robotics industry are doing. Most AI companies are strictly doing software, tesla is unique that its software is so intimately tied to the "real" world.
@@patrickcorcoran4828 Elon was right. Every time he predicted FSD by the end of the year, he was right. Until the software capped out at just 90% safe, then 95% safe, then 99% safe. Now FSD is 99.999% safe.
How many people die per 100 million miles driven?
The estimated fatality rate for 2023 decreased to 1.26 deaths per 100 million vehicle miles traveled, down from the reported rate of 1.33 per 100 million VMT in 2022. Estimates also show that VMT in 2023 increased by about 67.5 billion miles, a 2.1% increase over 2022.
We are driving more, and having fewer fatal accidents with more Teslas on the road.
I trust a car on FSD more than I trust you on the road.
I used FSD to drive to my mothers on mothers day. That is a 2.25 hour round trip with 2 miles on country gravel one lane roads. FSD did it flawlessly. It has had an update since then and has another one coming soon. By 8/8 I am pretty sure FSD will be on every road in America and far less people will die.
I also expect insurance rates for those without FSD to jump drastically as gas prices go up.
@@davidbeppler3032 See one of the things I don't understand is this difference in experience. I don't personally know any Tesla owners that use FSD past a trial because it doesn't work and then every once in a while you run into someone who says its already 100% functional. I've read that California and Texas users report the best experience because the vehicles have the most experience in those states, but Tesla's whole deal is supposed to be that the car understands how to drive, not just how to drive in a geo-fenced area like Waymo.'s self driving cars. I'm not questioning your experience, I've read lots of other accounts from people who think FSD works really well. But, I don't get why you are having a great experience and everyone I've met in real life who's tried FSD thinks its a dumpster fire?
There are lots of questions about Tesla's safety claims, mostly because the majority of their data is from people very cautiously using FSD for a 1-month trial and then never touching it again. If you add up millions of those 1-month trials plus a few hundred thousand people who use it regularly you get good looking statistics that don't show the real truth. I've never been a more cautious driver than when I was watching my friends Tesla bumbling along on a road trip. I gained a lot more sympathy for my high school Drivers Ed instructor with her foot on the special passenger side second brake pedal while I learned to drive.
I think you will eventually be right about FSD from some company, maybe not Tesla, and particularly right about the insurance rates while it is being adopted, but so far I've only had negative experiences with FSD and so have my friends and family.
@@patrickcorcoran4828 Those people who say it is a dumpster fire. Did they try it for 3 hours yesterday or 30 minutes last year?
Tesla is destroying itself as a car company, therefore you should invest.
pretty sure they told us this years ago with the robotaxi concept
What will the price of Tesla stock by end of June. My guess lot less than what is now.
ZERO.
Many people have made that mistake, don't bet against Elon. Short sellers have lost billions of dollars.
Worrying about its price in June is short term investing. No one knows what that will be. Long term Tesla will 10x from here. Even if Elon leaves Tesla there is enough momentum that it will still 10x just will take longer. Once legacy auto starts going bankrupt in 3 to 5 years Tesla will shoot up.
@@tedmoss 2016 Elon was a completely different person. This Elon has spent the last 4 years agreeing with bigots online, then buying $20 billion Twitter for $44 billion and running it into the ground. Whatever is going on in his life has driven him around the bend.
@@johnlehew8192 Tesla's valuation is based on FSD working. Based on my experience taking a road trip with a friend a month ago, its no closer to working than it was in 2019. Tesla is going to end up with the same valuation as another legacy auto maker its size. They probably will do better in the EV transition because repairs aren't a profit center for them, they make their money actually selling cars. But, thats why they should be focused on Model 2 and Tesla Semi, rather than doubling down on FSD tech that doesn't work and seems like it will never work compared to the sensor and software package from a company like Waymo.

I'm a retired aerospace engineer. Every company i've worked for has had to rid themselves of deadwood by periodic RIF's---this is a required activity without which companies cannot be competitive.

It seems clear that Tesla has lost the battery race in terms of the chemistry of the battery. Their expertise is at making the steel cars. They way under estimate what it takes to perfect low cost battery chemistry and associated battery production. Not so the Chinese. The Chinese are also focusing on photonic chip production. This is also the future of computing.
With all that Tesla is doing, it is impossible to be the best in every area. Plus, the Chinese have undoubtedly made it priority one to dominate the EV space on the planet and they have the sheer resources to do it like no one else. In 5 to 10 years, it feels like traditional automakers, particular those in the USA and Europe will be really hurting
@@travisjazzbo3490 in the beginning he wanted to be best in batteries. He clearly failed.
@@TheBooban...exactly, hence the 10x premium Tesla stock commands over other companies. Tesla is starting to look like a normal company with hyped expectations.
@@TheBooban Yes. I just said that. Tesla is chasing a lot of things all at once, they have massive handcuffs put on them and far lacking in the advantages of China and even natural resources that are cheap as we get away from fossil fuels.
You aren't going to win them all. No one does.
So they have massively pivoted, which is extremely difficult but necessary in cutting edge high tech. Maybe you haven't noticed but Asia IS the future of massive growth in every economic facet of the future while places like America that is being destroyed by politics, apathy, natural population slowing, corruption, as well as regulatory and legal wrangling every second, our time has come and gone. As far as us being leaders in the WEST, we are in great shape. But Asia is where it is at for positioned growth and resources for the future.
@@TheBooban Yes, he underestimated China. He has admitted that. China has clearly made massively leaps in the past 5 years. This is why you see Musk and Tesla massively pivoting. He clearly sees the reality. China is not only on top of the tech for batteries, but they have the natural resources for them. China is clearly poised to dominate this space from a manufacturing perspective. I think Tesla even says their most productive production is their China factory
it is typical from all manufacturing jobs
Sorry for nit-picking your pronunciation. "Palo Alto" is pronounce "pal-o alto". I'm from the area so I know. It's a short a, not a long a. It's "pal" as in "friend" or "pay-pal". It's not "pal" as is "pale".
I have been saying for years that Tesla end goal is to stop selling cars. Why sell a car for $5.5k profit at point of sale when you can rent it out at just $0.25/mile and make $100k profit over 3 years per car?
Imagine a company that handles 80% of all consumer traffic in a city. How much is that worth? I am guessing a trillion in profits per year. Apple had a revenue of almost a trillion last year.

You get rid what you no longer need and then hire where you need it for new business models. Not at all unusual. I have over 40 years experience in the semiconductor industry. Again. Not unusual. Yes it is a cold hard fact and losing your job is tough as nails. Lost mine at least three times. Also listening to the hype about Tesla divesting in charging network and EVs is so dumb. They are restructuring the business to remain profitable and take advantage of new opportunities.
It is called FUD. Anything to make Tesla, the most American company, look as bad as possible. Vote Blue, buy a Tesla.
Maybe Elon expects to replace people with robots?
Many jobs will be taken by robots, people will still be here to reap the benefits of robots.
@@tedmoss I agree
I seriously expect that in giga-Mexico there won’t be places for unskilled workers, or even skilled workers.
Just some to get the robots starting…
@@tedmossthe benefits will only be for shareholders.
G’day.
Something I think that you and your team might be ideally suited for would be a series of basic primers. Eg. Explain what an EV is compared to an ICE vehicle… explaining how polluting big oil is versus a sustainable power grid, etc.
Explain that there are a multitude of different Li-ion chemistries, etc.
Maybe do some on self driving, maybe disruptive tech in general.
I know you’ve covered all of these… but consider doing a primer for the 80 year old grandmothers, etc. really basic. Assuming little knowledge. Your viewer could be very young or very old… or just lacking access to good information.
While these wont go viral. i reckon they’ll steadily tick over in viewers.
Good luck!
Smoke and mirrors - Tesla's humanoid robot actually seems to be not even a robot, more an slightly sophisticated electronic puppet
Video from Tesla even shows this with the machines following the movements of real human operators wearing measurement gloves and headsets beside the machines
As well as the operators, such devices will require service techs, programmers, parts builders, etc. to do the job that 1 real human presently does
As things stand, these "robots" won't be replacing humans in those jobs, rather, there will be more humans needed to complete such jobs using these contraptions
Tesla needs to ditch Musk; he didn't found Tesla, and they should build cars.
With the new confrontration policies of the US Congress against China about EVs , AI, renewable, etc. Tesla has to build it's own R&D ( in cooperation with China's R&D) so it can have it''s own US patents for all the new technologies surounding the intelligent ccar industry.
👍👍
Tesla & Amprius ?!
Sam you do realise AI won't content themselves just taking our jobs, they will most certainly come for yours too.
High risk gamble. The cost of capital made the car industry expansion much riskier and the likelihood of significant income from FSD is still a couple of years away in my view. I don't think Solar or Robotics are a good fit for Tesla as it stands and Id rather see them spun off (and transferred to the existing share holders as new companies). I'd focus Tesla on cars, storage and self driving, be focused on that. Seems a shame to bet the company, and risk the energy transition, that was always the goal for me and now the company excites me less. Love robots and AI, just the wrong place for them in my view. Im not a multi billionaire though so Im probably wrong :)
You aren't wrong. Since you aren't a billionaire, you care about the chances for success, unlike Elon who will always be rich whether or not he tanks Tesla.
Solar is a loss leader to sell their Powerwall which has high profit margins. He's been promising an HVAC system for years. All this integrates into Autobidder which then connects to the Megapacks. A distributed utility company which takes its cut. The Megapacks are also enabling existing utility companies to shut down their polluting power stations. All this fits into the Tesla mission statement.
With the Model 3 and Model Y, they've spent years optimising their manufacturing method and supply chain. In the last earnings call he said that they've hit the laws of diminishing returns and now cost savings for each change is minimal. There needs to be a step change to get to the next level of cheaper cars. Not said in the call but we know that this will be the unboxing method and using robots to reduce labour costs.
AI is for FSD and Elon already said there is a major car manufacturer ready to license it. He's going for broke on FSD for sure.
Phillip.
Does Elon even still support the energy transition? Now that he's gone full right-wing Republican, he's probably regretting that he didn't design the Cybertruck with a coal-powered engine.
@@philliptemple9841 I take your point on loss leader, but to be honest solar is so cheap (based on the UK prices anyway) I dont think there is much incentive to have a single supplier. I added a Powerwall 2 with backup to my existing solar system 3.5 years ago and my original solar system was 10 years old, integrated without issue so Im not sure there is a compelling reason to have the tesla solar, unless Im missing something, anecdotal evidence, maybe I was just lucky?
@@iainsear7830 Nope, you are not wrong. I am in California and have been in the solar industry for 20 years. His solar roof product is going to be a bust just like the ones that have come before his(his isn't the first). Too many connections and too much heat. Been there, done that.
Having said that it is possible that he has a solution for the heat that I am not familiar with but due to the time it takes for heat to affect silicon PV modules we won't know for a few years.
The Powerwall 3 product is a great one. Being in California we are able to install using the Tesla Switch instead of the gateway.This is a HUGE improvement in both cost and functionality. In my opinion he should simply get out of the PV module business. He has changed his PV business though. When he first started he was doing installations as well as the sales and manufacturing. After a couple of years he realized the same thing that roofing suppliers found out. Better to supply the product and let the local installers to the grunt work.
The industry has a lot of very good modules already, his modules bring nothing to disrupt the market. It isn't disruptive and the margins are low and new customers are expensive. Stay with the battery storage industry large and small and push AutoBidder his virtual power plant software. That is disruptive.
thank goodness their pivoting away from cars, because they were not very good at it.
Modern day pundits really believe in robots,AI&FSD taunting as reliable?
I can remember Viking talking about Tesla making 20 M + cars by 2030 and now they just stop beeing a carmaker and switch to robots?😂😂😂😂
It seems like he should advise his boys to become scammers...
where did he say stop being a car maker lmao, the weight of the business will smply become tiny and be shadowed by robotics
Astribot and others are better than Optimus, or whatever Tesla can produce! It's like IBM pivoting to 'services' when they lost the hardware market. Pathetic!
I know .. ALTHOUGH .. I remember when Amazon made its money selling stuff on line now its majority profit is AWS (Amazon Web Services) or selling cloud computing, still to hell with profit and following the market guess Amazon was a online store and should have stuck with in.
@@dxelson Read the Thumbnail.
Also I wish Tesla good luck selling their laughable robots after they failed to take over the car industry...
Viking is a sycophant…
I can only hope the new hires are for quality control.
Tesla has adopted CATLs battery technology, which is the best, but that has not made Biden very happy. Gigacasting of alu/magnesium cars is another great step forward, perhaps not for panel beaters and insurance costs.
Are any of the layoffs in jobs that teslabots can do?
Since right now Optimus is either a human in a suit or a human standing next to Optimus controlling it with a remote... no.
It starts with MATH
I keep telling people that Tesla’s vehicle revenue will proportionally fall compared to their other revenue streams.
It’s not. It is currently in sharper decline than the rest of the business Tesla has.
Simple solution:
Tax the robots, provide Universal Basic Income with the proceeds to the people who's jobs have been replaced.
I would never work for a company.
Yes, looks like so much competition in auto making, the best place For Tesla to make money for investor is to do what others can't do. Tesla early adoption of AI and Data collection is forward thinking now advancing to the next level no other automakers can compete in. No automaker has the technology of FSD, than Tesla. Tesla is years ahead of the competition. Eventually Testa can license the FSD to other other makers. It's not practical to spend billions of dollars creating FSD so I expect other automakers will line up for Tesla technology. The Optimus with 22 degrees on the hand will make this Bot above and more practical for more use. It's all about the hand. Those Bots with the best hands will be the winner. Then let's not forget the brain..Tesla has spent so much in compute that other bot makers have not. The winner will be the maker with the most compute to process data quickly so unless other Bot makers have this then they will always be years behind Tesla Optimus
I'm surprised they arn't already automating these jobs.
I agree... In the grand scheme of things... looking back... the time that HUMANS were doing those jobs will be insignificant. I know in Ontario, Canada, in factories you MUST have certain clearance around machines for the safety of human workers. If you're putting robots into those positions, instead of humans. There is no need for that extra space. They could put things even closer together and free up space inside the factories. I am excited to see how it will all work! I am also having a difficult time telling my son what kind of job I would recommend for him to do in the future. Many jobs will be done by A.I. and then others done by Robots. What career has a chance of lasting?? It is not easy to say. Even Nvidia is using A.I. to design it's chips now. A.I. is being used to help find new battery chemistry. A.I. can design things engineers have done in the past. So I am truly stumped ! It's funny, I wrote all that BEFORE Sam said anything about him not knowing what his kids should do. Robotics and Computers is my son's all time favorite things, he seems very good at Physics and Math. So in some ways that's good. PERHAPS Hair Dresser/Barber. I'd rather have a Human using scissors around my head than a ROBOT :)
Will Tesla keep making cars or fully focus on robots? Perhaps buying a Tesla car is an expensive risk
By principle.
Never Chinees.
The take away is that Tesla knows the software they have for the self driving technology today doesn’t work. Slow down production and hire more engineers means design problems
Really? You're a Godamn genius! 😂
The only real updates were OTA to a computer anyway. Other OEM's have caught Tesla in the BEV space with design and inclusions, which Tesla now lacks.
Tesla cars are well overdue for a complete refresh, not just cosmetic, to keep in front of the competition. I think Musk sees the writing on the wall for his now aging design and now wants to concentrate on self-driving for earnings. Just look at the current interior, the only thing practically left for the driver is the steering wheel - take that out, voila - driverless cars.
Who would want a job whete you vet fired at a drop of tje harmt whete you vannot ask questions
I just ordered my second Model S (Lunar Silver) Plaid at $105,000.00 There is NO WAY in hell that Tesla is losing money on cars!!
The whole operation feels sketchy to me
certainly not from you.
A lot of Tesla customers stopped buying new cars when Elon Musk started agreeing with bigots on Twitter. My mother and aunt canceled their plans for Model Ys when Musk agreed with Scott Adams incredibly racist comments. Since then he's agreed with anti-semites, authoritarian governments and re-platformed actual Nazis while kicking journalists off Twitter.
Your luxury purchase isn't a great example. The issue isn't that their original margins per car were bad, its that they've had to drop the prices significantly ($20k on Model Y) to keep up demand as potential customers were turned off by Musk. They're still selling more cars than they were this time last year, but at significantly less profit. They're not actually losing money like the legacy auto makers are on their first EVs, but the trend for Tesla doesn't look good and they keep claiming FSD is going to save them, but it still doesn't work.
Nice situation that learning from the car self driving can transfer easily to the robotics movement and object recognition. I like that with the car learning it was said that when the car knew some street speed limit signs it could understand others from that knowledge... Did it think??....lol
Yes, yes it did.
No
Sam, oddly I just told my daughter several months ago to focus my grandson into robotics, AI and battery specifically for Tesla. I'm not sure if Elon is still building a school in Texas for engineering students . I thought that it would be awesome if he could get in on that as he's 11, so a few years away . A good future for a young person.
As an engineer, he will be the first laid off in an economic downturn, just like Tesla did. Always have an updated resume ready, don't fall in love with the company and save enough money so you can live a few months while looking for a better job. Engineers are often treated like expensive cogs by idiot MBA's and billionaire geniuses.
@AudiTTQuattro2003 Some truth in this, less efficient companies will go to the wall though, Capitalism is tough.
Musk has always been weird. Now it seems he hangs in Trumps circles.
That should worry everyone... not just EV drivers and investors.
Elon, does not hang with Trump, that is BS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Why is it a zero sum game though? Tesla can be a successful car company and a successful robotics company, both. If they throw up their hands and say we can't compete, we're pivoting to something else, well clearly they can compete, they are the number one EV maker in the world.
If they don't restore confidence in their main game, making cars, I see a big fall for the stock price, which doesn't help either of their aspirations.
When did they say they couldn't compete?
@@garethrobinson2275 When reports came out that they had canceled the Model 2 platform investors assumed they could not compete on anything but luxury vehicles, and a lot of the valuation had to do with eventual affordable models. The then claimed they were still making the Model 2 and it would be released in 2025, but no one believes them. They then said that the real money is still in FSD and they were going to announce a robo-taxi in August, but FSD still doesn't work. It just looks like they are panicking and falling back on the long standing strategy of having Musk lie about future products.
i would say labourers should look for better jobs in other fields because factory workers even tradies would be replaced by AI robots, robotic builders would do things on time rain or shin they don't require breaks they aren't lazy c$nts and they will get the job don't on time and in cost.
Who is allegedly buying all those Chinese cars? I don’t see them on the road.
Right now in China but why do you think Biden just put huge tariff's on Chinese cars? They're coming and soon.
@@RobertCrickmore They can't come if the country doesn't let them in. China has waged a perpetual currency and trade war with us for the last 50 years, whether we acknowledged or not. All we have to do is recognize it and tariff accordingly. Also - there is a pretty good argument to be made that many of the legacy automakers don't deserve to exist.

Elon may sell Tesla if he does not get pay. Will be impossible to replace.
Please Sam... Help me. Even when my son was born in 2010. I told my wife that by the time our child will be old enough to work, they'll have Robots doing the simple jobs! I was right... I truly don't know what they should study in school. Investing in Tesla would likely be a smart move though. With Tesla's Mega Packs, Robo Taxi's, and other sources of income which will grow... It's one way to make money without having a job. If you can't get a job, you'll forever be trapped at a certain income level.
When I was in school, in the 1960s, we were told that mechanisation and computerisation would free us all from full-time work. We need to train ourselves to find fulfilment for our ample leisure time. The plan was job sharing or permanent part time for everyone. Not sure it worked out that way!
I wouldn't invest a dime in that company until Musk gets tossed out on his ear. The whole thing sounds about as well thought out as his purchase of Twitter, and we see how well that went.
Good luck
You're investing in Elon Musk, not the company. Twitter was necessary for Elon to stay competitive with the other great men.

Tesla obviously is going full throttle on AI and robotics, because that somebody else that will compete is BYD....lol Terminator and BSG isn't as far fetch as it seems
I disagree not all jobs will be done by robots. When there is a basic universal income the description of what human work is will be more inclusive. You can knit caps, be a content creator or go to Mars, your choice. Jeannine
What I take away is Tesla is a long way away from FSD at least 5 years for this many people needed
I did a road trip a month ago with the FSD trial and had dozens of incidents, but 8 I figured would have killed me if I wasn't paying attention. Claiming they'll have a robo-taxi in August 2024 is just laughabletor anyone who's used FSD.
These new Tesla job listings are AI and Robotics jobs disguised as Full Self-Driving jobs. Elon is obviously going 'full pedal on the metal' on AI.
If Tesla's stock had taken a dive a few years ago they would be pretending they were doing "something with blockchain". This is just a tactic to bump the stock price while they hope sales improve. Sales are only going to improve when the CEO stops agreeing with bigots on Twitter, and that seems pretty unlikely right now.
Where is the $25,000 Tesla? where is the Tesla Van?
Chinese auto makers are producing $15K EV's and electric vans. Eventually they will make their way to the West.
The Tesla will be produced in Mexico probably in 2027. Nobody said you can buy it now. The Tesla van will be on the same platform so probably around the same time but you can already buy a Model Y with no back seats which companies can legally register as a van already.
Phillip.
AI will wipe out staff
Self-driving more valuable? I doubt that.
Everyone i talk with, would like to keep driving themselves, and that goes for me to.
Been driving for over 50 years and have no problems to steer my cars or motorbikes.
Maybe, for the children that grow up in 20 years from now, they won't know how to drive a car, and cant imagine that people could in "the old days".
But worldwide the masses will point their transport themselves, be it 2-wheeled or 4 wheeled, for a long long time.
Possibly the wealthy lazy few, that have become to fat to reach the steering wheel . . . . .?
Exactly. Car ownership is not just about pre planned trips from point a to point b. It’s freedom and it’s fun to drive even if you haven’t decided where you are going yet. Public transportation of any kind is not that.
@@frankcoffey It's freedom to go where you want, when you want, which public transport doesn't really do. Unfortunately, all that fun kills 1.3 million people per year. That's more than a 9/11 attack every single day.

@@RobertCrickmore Young people who can't afford a house are going to put their money into their ride, they don't want to use public transportation, that's for losers.

@frankcoffey It's public but without the people. It's also door to door and will ultimately be far and away the cheapest way to do that. Economics rule the market, or we'd all be driving Porsches.

I feel sad for people that bought the cars. They have a car made by a company that has poor support and I see it going downhill fast.
Hilarious! The level of misinformation on here is gob smacking.
It's true people working at the service centers aren't doing well.
Well I’ve bought two of the cars, five years ago, and am very happy with the vehicles. Unfortunately I’ll have to hang on to them for as long as possible because replacing them is going to be tricky. To start with the only Model 3s we can buy in Australia and Europe are made in China. Secondly I’m not keen on financing Musk’s erratic behaviour.
The biggest mistake Tesla is making
