Slowing European sales for Tesla coincide with Musk's promotion of an ideal society
Tesla's latest master plan, unveiled by CEO Elon Musk, has received a mixed response from critics and investors alike. The 983-word statement, which focuses on a humanoid robot named Optimus, has been met with criticism for its lack of detail and its departure from Tesla's earlier focus on electric vehicles (EVs).
Critics have described the plan as "sounds like AI slop," a "smorgasbord of vague AI promises," and "reads like LLM-generated nonsense." They argue that the plan is overly focused on utopian ideals and does not provide enough concrete information about Tesla's plans for the future.
In contrast, Tesla's earlier manifestos focused on the development of mass-market EVs, trucks, solar roofs, and self-driving fleets. One of the most notable promises was to fund mass-market EVs through the sales of a sports car. However, the latest plan seems to shift the focus away from EVs and towards robots.
Despite the criticism, investors remain indulgent towards Tesla. Despite multiple big earnings misses and shrinking EV sales, Tesla's shares are still up by half over the past year. This patience shown by investors is one consistent aspect about Tesla.
The criticism of the plan also extends to some experts and analysts in the field of AI and robotics. They question the feasibility and practicality of Optimus, and whether it will account for 80% of Tesla's value, as claimed by Elon Musk.
Tesla's market share in western Europe has dropped from 2.5% to 1.7%, and the company's EV sales have significantly decreased in France (-47%), Sweden (-84%), the Netherlands (-50%), and Denmark (-42%). These figures raise concerns about the company's ability to deliver on its promises, particularly in the EV sector.
As of the latest available public information, Elon Musk remains the largest shareholder of Tesla with a 15.71% stake. There is no evidence that a new major owner exists who owns 80% of Tesla's value or is directly linked to Optimus, the humanoid robot developed by Elon Musk.
In conclusion, Tesla's latest master plan has faced criticism for its lack of detail and focus on AI and robots over electric vehicles. While investors remain patient, the plan's reception among experts and the general public remains divided. The future of Tesla will depend on its ability to deliver on its promises and adapt to the changing landscape of the EV industry.
