Apple is increasingly focusing on building its own devices and expanding its ecosystem by taking steps towards a more native experience for users and relying less on third-party accessories. While the Cupertino-based tech giant's HomePod and AppleTV have left quite the mark in the smart home category, it generally relies more on outsourcing cameras and other hardware for smart homes. Now, a new report suggests that the company intends to create a fully integrated experience by developing its own smart home accessories. Gurman hints about Apple working on making smart home products like security cameras for a more integrated experience […]

Tesla was recently forced to recall every Cybertruck it’s ever built — all 3,878 of them — because the cover on the accelerator pedal could come loose, causing unintended acceleration. As it turns out, though, you don’t even need to be old enough to ge...
Tesla's AI training compute capacity increased by 130 percent in Q1 2024 alone. However, if Elon Musk's ambitions pan out, this capacity is heading for a nearly 500 percent increase through 2024. This is not accurate. Tesla would be second highest and X/xAI would be third if measured correctly. — Elon Musk (@elonmusk) April 8, 2024 We noted in a previous post that Tesla likely owns between 30,000 and 350,000 units of NVIDIA's H100 GPUs, based on Elon Musk's comments in the above X post. Today, as part of its Q1 2024 earnings deck, Tesla revealed that its AI training […]
Against a growing confluence of headwinds, including an erratic pricing strategy, the fate of the margin-critical Model 2, a growing dampener on global demand for EVs, and discord over a gigantic compensation package for its CEO, Tesla might well report its worst quarterly earnings in 7 years later today. Tesla (NASDAQ: TSLA) Q1 2024 Earnings This forwards my $TSLA estimates vs. consensus for 1Q earnings tomorrow. Non-GAAP EPS for Q1 2024:• $0.52 my estimate • $0.51 analyst consensus Bloomberg Auto gross margin excl. reg credits:• 15.4% my estimate (vs 17.2% in Q4 2023) and vs 15.9% consensus The swing #s… […]

Until recently, Elon Musk was widely considered Tesla's core strength. Yet, the mega-billionaire's penchant for delving head-first into needless controversies has gone quite a long way in dimming the appeal of this thesis. Look no further than Tesla's board, which has now dared to publicly criticize its famously incalcitrant CEO, albeit in an euphemistic manner, while still trying to retain his good graces. The Drama Elon Musk's 2018 Compensation Package Back in 2018, Tesla awarded Elon Musk one of the biggest compensation packages in American corporate history, worth around $56 billion. The package played a pivotal role in allowing Elon […]
Tesla appears to have abandoned its go-to strategy to juice demand by instituting margin-destroying price cuts and, instead, now seems bent on pairing cost-cutting measures with those that enhance its ancillary revenue streams. $TSLA CEO @elonmusk: "..we have done a thorough review of the organization and made the difficult decision to reduce our headcount by more than 10% globally. There is nothing I hate more, but it must be done. This will enable us to be lean, innovative & hungry for the next growth… pic.twitter.com/IkWPEb8c5b — The Transcript (@TheTranscript_) April 15, 2024 To wit, Electrek reported on Sunday that Tesla […]
Akin to a tongue-in-cheek iteration of "he loves me, he loves me not," Tesla's near-term narrative is currently being dominated by the following speculative reverie: "Will there be a Model 2, or will there not?" Reuters published a highly contentious report in early April, disclosing Tesla's apparent willingness to abandon its upcoming cheaper Model 2 in the face of serious competition from China. While Elon Musk quickly clamped down on the veracity of Reuters' reporting, this did not stop educated conjecture as to the fate of the $30,000 Model 2. The same day, in an apparent attempt to halt Tesla's […]
