Cautious Outlook on Tesla's Autonomy Ambitions Amid Investor EnthusiasmWe believe the expanded FSD model has positive implications for bulls focused on the potential for TSLAs fleet eventually becoming Robotaxis (positive read on inference compute), and the opening of the Austin Robotaxi experience to the public is a key step on the growth path of inviting a potentially more critical set of consumers. While safety drivers will remain, and no timeline has been provided for their removal, bulls have been willing to overlook the optics of safety drivers in TSLA vehicles, and we see no reason why that would change now. For investors looking to learn more about the opportunities and risks for TSLA's Robotaxi aspiration, see our 25 page deep dive published in June (here). Our detailed Robotaxi model as well as the basis/assumptions behind our Unit economics, is available upon request.

Analysts Are Bearish on Top Consumer Cyclical Stocks: Tesla (TSLA), Wendy's (WEN)We try to rationalize the news below. We expect TSLA will retain the expertise for the chip design w/in the car; however, chip design for supercomputers used for training has likely ended. Progress at NVDA & AMD has likely exceeded TSLA's internal efforts resulting in a decision to outsource, a positive read for semi names. For TSLA, this implies some cost savings; however, investors lose the optionality of a Dojo payoff, the company is more reliant on semi suppliers, & exec churn continues.

Analysts' Opinions Are Mixed on These Consumer Cyclical Stocks: Yeti Holdings (NYSE: YETI), Tesla (NASDAQ: TSLA) and Under Armour (NYSE: UAA)We had originally written about Dojo's potential to unlock asymmetric advantages for TSLA as it navigates the autonomous era: Unlocking Tesla’s AI Upgrade to OW, PT $400, 5 key thoughts regarding this potential development: 1. TSLA DOGE-like efficiency drive will reduce costs. While not disclosed by TSLA, we believe substantial capex and opex was directed in support of Dojo compute development. Tesla's 2Q results cited higher opex driven by AI projects, expanded AI training compute at Gigafactory Texas, and guided to over $9bn in capex for FY25 driven mainly by 'AI-related capital expenditures.' 2. DensityAI talent accumulation. DensityAI, a privately held AI compute startup, led by former Tesla AI head Ganesh Venkataramanan, is currently in stealth and is continuing the mission (see below for more detail).
