the tesla stock just keeps climbing and climbing
and now tesla is among the top 10 of the
most valuable companies
by market cap but when will it be number
one
then of course we will take a look at
the current progress
of the gigafactory construction at
berlin
austin and shanghai and at shanghai it
appears that the first model y
trial units have rolled off the assembly
line
then more details on the lucid air a bit
about nikola
elon on electric aircraft a bit on
hyperloop
and lastly of course the Neuralink
presentation
a lot to talk about as always so stay tuned
the tesla stock is out of control
it just keeps climbing climbing and
climbing
tesla shorters are already all poor now
and have to find new jobs so why is
tesla
out of control and where will this all
lead
at the time of recording this video here
the tesla stock
is pre-stock split at 2200
which means that tesla has a market
capitalization
of 420 billion dollars making it the 10th
most valuable company in the world
right up there with companies such as
tencent
amazon microsoft and apple the market
capitalization
is by the way calculated by multiplying
the value of the stock
with the number of shares in existence
apple is with a 2.1 trillion dollar
market cap
on the first spot and is a factor of
five above
tesla so if tesla was to be number one
and overtake apple the stock would be at
eleven thousand dollars but is such a
notion even realistic
for that we have to understand that
tesla
is not a classical company as we know
them
but it's a highly disruptive company
this means
that tesla is eating away market share
of other competitor companies at a rapid
pace
and we also have to understand that
tesla
is not only a car company but also an
energy provider
a solar cell producer a software company
even an insurance company so tesla's
competitors are not
only the legacy car makers but also
energy companies
oil companies gas and coal companies
and car insurance companies it keeps
disrupting
all these markets and the only thing
holding tesla back
is the lack of factories they have but
as we know
tesla is working on that they are
currently building
three factories all over the world which
will raise the production capacity from
currently around 500 000 per year
to around 2 million per year by late
2021. elon said that the goal is to have
15 to 20 gigafactories around the world
now let's conservatively assume that one
gigafactory has an
average output of 500 000 cars per year
this will result in 10 million cars per
year production capacity
which is as much as the largest car
makers such as
volkswagen and toyota are currently
producing
and since this will directly cannibalize
their sales
we are quite sure that by 2030 once
tesla will have all these factories
tesla will be on rank one regarding car
production
if they increase production output at
the gigafactories even more
even 15 million cars per year by 2030
are possible this is exponential growth
and many keep underestimating it if
tesla will be able to also launch their
robo-taxi fleet
they will disrupt another industry
namely
the ride share companies this will be
another huge source of income for tesla
and let's see what elon will reveal on
battery day but we think it will be
pretty epic
and further cement tesla's lead over the
competitors
so tesla the most valuable company in
the world
yes we are pretty sure that by 2030
tesla will be on the top spot because it
just will disrupt so
many different industry sectors
therefore a stock price of around two
thousand dollars
is still cheap if you think long term
for the next
10 years blah we are not financial investors blah blah blah own risk
blah blah blah do your own research
and please consider subscribing to our
channel
because we are one of the few channels
out there that not only
cover space flight but also all other
disruptive technologies
including electric cars however the
youtube algorithm
doesn't like to promote channels with
such a broad range of topics so we
really need your help
so that we can reach more people with
our videos
so what is the current construction
state of all the tesla gigafactories
all around the world in the latest drone
shots
from tobias Lindh you can see that the
drive unit building
looks all but finished now and please
also go and check out tobias Lindh's
channel
because he's really doing great work and
construction on the main factory
building
has now started in all earnest the paint
shop structure
is basically finished now the
construction speed
at giga berlin is so high that we
estimate
the first model Y trial units for
march
2021 over at giga austin
progress is even more insane since here
the whole area now
has been flattened and drained of ponds
remember that only a few weeks ago
we still had many ponds here but now
everything is flat
and dry you can see that foundation is
now applied broadly
which means that work on the concrete
foundation layer
will start very soon we think giga
austin
will be finished much sooner than most
people expect
maybe even by early 2021 and at giga
shanghai lastly
work on the exterior of the model y
expansion
is finished and work on the interior
also seems to be really advanced
since the first made in china model Y
trial units
have already been spotted furthermore
the massive hiring ramp shows that the
full-scale model Y
production will actually still start
this year in shanghai
as crazy as it sounds in other news we
now have more details on the lucid air
the production version of which is going
to be revealed on the 9th
of september as we saw in last week's
spy
shots the production version is
basically going to look exactly like the
concept car version
it now has been revealed that the 517
mile
epa estimated range will come
from 113 kilowatt hours battery pack
113 kilowatt hours really not bad lucid
absolutely not bad in other news
it seems that nikola has now started a
bit of work
on their future factory near phoenix
arizona and the construction speed is
shall we say not extremely impressive
more like let's just do the bare minimum
needed
so that people cannot accuse us that we
are not doing anything at all
kind of speed that's at least the
impression we get
hopefully they will speed up at some
point because at this pace
the factory will be finished in three
years at best
but at least the ceo of nikola
trevor milton seems to be quite friendly
to his employees
because he's giving his first 50
employees
some of his own stock shares which are
currently worth
233 million dollars which is a fine move
we have to say on this channel here we
want to keep neutral on nikola
we know that the company is being
brutally bashed a lot
but if they can really manage to deliver
what they promise
then we want to give them a fair chance
of course and every company
that wants to produce vehicles of any
kind
that are not running on fossil fuels is
a good thing
even though you of course know our
stance on hydrogen
but hey still much better than gasoline
or diesel
now regarding electric air taxis and
electric airplanes
elon again tweeted something highly
interesting
namely that a 400 watt hours per
kilogram energy density battery
produced in high volume is not far away
anymore
probably already in three to four years
this means
that batteries with such high energy
densities
that can be mass produced are only three
to four years away
and 400 watt hours per kilogram is as we
have mentioned a few times already
the threshold where electric aircraft
really becomes viable this is not only
for electric supersonic
VTOL passenger jets but also VTOLs such
as the lilium jet
with a range of 300 kilometers
and a flight time of one hour will
become viable by that time
we are very sure that on tesla's battery
day
on september 22nd elon will lay out a
clear path
towards achieving those high battery
energy densities
that will of course be perfect for
future electric airplanes
and electric air taxis but we are also
talking about electric cars with
an insane range of 1000 kilometers
or even more hyperloop meanwhile sees a
bit of legislation
progress in canada with a feasibility
study for a
300 kilometer long hyperloop linking the
cities of
calgary and edmonton transpod has
signed a memorandum of understanding
with the government of alberta and they
now will start preliminary work on a
test track
construction on the real track is slated
to start in 2025.
now quite a few engineering challenges
will of course have to be overcome
but as always we say the only real
obstacles
are given by nature as long as no law of
physics
prevents something to be built it can be
built
even though of course many people still
believe it's not possible
but then again many people also believe
that reusable rockets are not possible
so
yeah naysayers gonna nay say
and now finally neuralink wow the
presentation was
elon gave us an update on the neuralink
brain machine interface
and it has been significantly updated
since the last presentation a year ago
the new device is a lot smaller and what
is really important
that the insertion is now completely
reversible
this means that once you get a
Neuralink implant you can get it out again
and will see absolutely no difference to
before
this is really important and in our
opinion
it's huge it's it's a game changer and
of course the medical applications for
neuralink are
immense make paralyzed people walk again
deaf people hear again blind people see
again also for psychological disorders
it might help to cure depression or
anxiety
disorders which are much more widespread
than we would think with about 10%
of the worldwide population suffering
from such
disorders elon showed a working
prototype on a pig
and it worked perfectly it can read all
the information
from the pig's brain neuralink will be
read and write by the way
read means you will be able to control
for example smartphones or
computers via thought and you will be
able to communicate telepathically
with other neuralink holders with
instant translation for example
star trek universal translator anyone
write means
neuralink will be able to write commands
you can thus
train your brain towards new thought
patterns
download information expand your
intelligence and knowledge
and overcome the aforementioned
psychological
disorders and in the far future it will
of course help us to merge with the ai
overmind
which is we'd say certainly a nice bonus
we as transhumanists will certainly get
one
because we think humans are still apes
we run on software that is tens of
thousands of years old from the stone
age
and we think that it's high time that we
finally receive
a software update and in case you have
missed the last week's disruption report
where we talk a bit more in detail about
the lucid air you can watch it right
here
so thanks for watching today's show and
i would say
on 2 the future
