An interesting takeaway from Tesla's Master Plan Part 3 is the implied cathode market share of the future EV fleet. @skorusARK previously discussed the reasons why lithium iron phosphate (LFP) should continue to gain market share, as costs decline in line with Wright's Law.

Regulation can kill innovation. See our new blog on how regulatory hurdles and anti-nuclear sentiment caused cost overruns of ~$345 billion in the development of US nuclear plants - rendering nuclear energy less cost-competitive than natural gas today.

A look at what is happening in China wrt manufacturing from Fanuc's Q1 Call (June 30th quarter end): After the post covid surge "demand dropped suddenly as never before and the stagnation of inventory adjustments and actual demands have had a tremendous effect."

China is exporting deflation in a more profound way than I believe many economists and strategists appreciate. All else equal, the 15% depreciation in the yuan relative to the dollar in the last year should have increased its PPI inflation rate by 15%. Instead it has dropped 4%.

To illustrate the real take-home point: Waymo's last reported million miles took 29 months. Cruise's last reported million miles took 3 months. We believe that Tesla is gathering 1 million miles every ~14 hours...

Tesla is in discussion with a major automaker about licensing FSD. This is not surprising in the wake of failed efforts like ArgoAI at Ford. Autonomy is hard, it requires vast amounts of data, and I believe many automakers will fail to achieve it on their own.

In summary, we believe that Tesla's real advantage is its existing car fleet, or the largest deployment of robots in the world. Through OTA updates, Tesla has the ability to accelerate data gathering and advance towards achieving full autonomy.

Highlighting some key milestones. Month 7 & 25 represent two key OTA updates for Tesla, exponentially growing autonomous miles. Cruise passed 1M miles in month 15, with Waymo taking 29 months. Importantly, both Waymo and Cruise are geofenced, FSD is not.

What to do with all of this data? Yesterday Tesla announced its intention to begin the production of its Dojo supercomputer in July 2023, in response to a lack of GPU supply. We believe that this is an important milestone to achieving full autonomy.

It looks like FSD is now trending at ~4-6 million miles per day, up from ~2.5 million. No longer constrained by compute,Tesla appears to be leveraging this *significant* data advantage with accelerating FSD software updates.

So what does this look like on a daily basis? FSD is currently collecting more than 1M miles per day. We can imply the daily miles using cumulative data, and we believe that Cruise collecting ~15,000 miles per day (We cannot imply daily miles for Waymo given data available).

What about rate of progress? Cruise recently passed 2M driverless miles, ~3 months after passing 1M (~x5 rate of improvement, compared to Tesla's ~x7). As of April 2023, we believe that Tesla is generating ~1.7M miles per day (1M miles every ~14 hours). Waymo has not yet hit 2M.

The FSD v12.3 videos are very impressive. In older versions (v11 etc.), minor updates had notable differences. With an end-to-end AI approach, minor updates are becoming increasingly subtle and difficult to describe, yet result in a more human-like driving experience.

@wintonARK I think my decision would depend on the company’s policy. If it was pretty relaxed and I could use the tech for personal use too, then I’d probably select the Vision Pro. Otherwise it’s a new laptop and accessories for me.
