Is Tesla's Robotaxi the Future of Urban Mobility?Tesla, the electric vehicle pioneer, is poised to disrupt the automotive industry once again with its highly anticipated Robotaxi. As the company prepares to unveil this groundbreaking innovation, the world is abuzz with excitement and anticipation. But can Tesla truly revolutionize urban mobility, or will the challenges of autonomous driving prove too insurmountable?
The Robotaxi industry is still in its infancy, with companies like Waymo and Baidu taking early strides. However, Tesla's entry into this space could have a profound impact, given its strong brand recognition and loyal customer base. The company's advanced Full Self-Driving technology, coupled with its expertise in electric vehicles, positions Tesla as a formidable competitor.
Yet, the road ahead is fraught with challenges. Regulatory hurdles, safety concerns, and intense competition will test Tesla's mettle. The company must navigate a complex regulatory landscape, ensure the safety of its passengers and pedestrians, and develop suitable infrastructure to support the widespread adoption of Robotaxis.
Perhaps Tesla's greatest advantage lies in its existing customer base. Tesla owners are known for their early adoption of new technologies, which could give the company a leg up in gaining acceptance for its Robotaxi service. However, public trust and acceptance will be essential for the success of this revolutionary concept.
As Tesla prepares to unveil its Robotaxi, the world watches with bated breath. The future of urban mobility hangs in the balance. Can Tesla overcome the challenges and usher in a new era of transportation? Only time will tell.
RECESSION ALERT | Total Vehicle Sales Data Print DelayedWith last months revision of 818,000 jobs, it is probably safe to conclude that other data points have also been incorrectly reported (manipulated for political purposes).
Total Vehicle Sales for the month of August 2024 were supposed to be published today. As of 8:45 PM EST, the data STILL has not been released.. HUH??
Total vehicle sales are a leading economic indicator. I’m guessing the numbers are bad.. really bad.
In Germany, the economic powerhouse of Europe, vehicle sales collapsed in August (in August 2024).
The absence of today's scheduled print is a choice. Someone decided that Total Vehicle Sales (for the month of August 2024) would not be released as scheduled.
In addition to illustrating the obvious failures of the current US political administration, this is also a strong indicator that Tesla ( the entire green new scam ) is on the verge of bankruptcy. I will explain this in more detail later.

75: Exploring the Electric Vehicle and Copper ConnectionIn the ever-evolving landscape of the financial markets, the intersection between Electric Vehicles (EVs) and copper presents a compelling narrative. As interest in EVs surges, propelled by advancements in technology and a global shift towards sustainability, the demand for key components such as copper intensifies.
Recent market dynamics have seen a lack of enthusiasm for EV stocks, prompting car manufacturers to implement price reductions to stimulate sales. However, this move signifies a strategic pivot rather than a sign of weakness, as companies aim to bolster revenues for further investment in the burgeoning EV sector.
Crucially, the production of EV batteries heavily relies on copper, emphasizing its integral role in the industry. Consequently, a resurgence in copper demand is anticipated, driven by the expanding EV market and the broader digitalization trend.
Technical analysis reveals copper's struggle to breach the 4.12 level, hinting at potential downside movements. Key support zones are identified around 3.37 and 2.83, where increased buying interest in copper is expected. These levels coincide with opportune entry points for investors eyeing the EV sector, as copper targets new highs, with an ambitious target of 6.49.
We can see that the convergence of EVs and copper presents a compelling trading opportunity. As the EV market continues to evolve, savvy investors can capitalize on the interplay between these sectors for potential gains.
Ford Motors: Bearish Rejection of Previous .618 Support ZoneFord Motors in the face of continuously Rising Debts and Negative Free Cash Flows has been rejected from the 61.8% Fibonacci retrace, which previously acted as support and now seems likely to continue down significantly. If I were to target how low I think it could go, I'd say $8.65-$6.00 seem like likely targets.

IEA’s bullish outlook for electric vehicles “A new clean energy economy is emerging, and it is emerging much faster than many stakeholders, policymakers, industry players, and investors think today” – Fatih Birol, Executive Director, IEA during the Global EV Outlook 2023 press event on 26 April 2023.
The International Energy Agency (IEA) published its Global Electric Vehicle Outlook for 2023 on 26 April. Its assessment of the state of the industry is encouraging and its projections for the industry’s growth are exciting. Electrification of road transportation is the disruptive innovation the industry has been waiting for. It appears that the tipping point has been reached.
Highlights from 2022, and developments in 2023
Electric vehicle (EV) sales exceeded 10 million in 2022 (see Figure 1). This amounts to 14% of all new cars sold in 2022, up from 9% in 2021, and less than 5% in 2020. This trend has continued at the start of 2023 with over 2.3m EVs sold in the first quarter, 25% more than the same period last year. By the end of the year, sales could hit 14 million with an acceleration expected in the second half of the year1.
China remains the dominant market, accounting for around 60% of global electric car sales last year, with Europe and the United States following behind. Nonetheless, there are promising signs of growth in emerging markets such as India, Thailand, and Indonesia where sales of electric cars last year more than tripled compared to 2021.
The key tailwinds
Policy support for the adoption of electric vehicles has never been stronger and it continues to strengthen. The European Union has set out CO2 standards for cars and vans aligned with 2030 goals set out in the Fit for 55 package. In the US, the Inflation Reduction Act (IRA), and California’s Advanced Clean Cars II rule could accelerate the journey to 50% EV market share by 20302.
Given strong support from policymakers and adoption from consumers, innovation in battery manufacturing also appears to have been catalysed. While it is a given that battery chemistries will continue to evolve and greater levels of efficiency will be achieved, developments along the way, such as CATL’s recent condensed battery launch, are noteworthy and encouraging.
On 19 April 2023, the Chinese battery manufacturer CATL, among the biggest names in the industry worldwide, unveiled a high-energy density, so-called ‘condensed battery’ at Auto Shanghai. CATL claims that this battery could not only meaningfully increase the range of EV batteries but could also help electrify passenger aircraft. Admittedly, there are multiple unknowns in CATL’s claims, including costs and delivery times, but it highlights how battery manufacturers are focused on achieving new degrees of efficiency.
Growing competition and, therefore, more choice for consumers is also facilitating the adoption of EVs. The number of electric car models worldwide exceeded 500 in 2022, more than double compared to 20183. While this is still significantly lower than the number of internal combustion engine (ICE) models on the market, this proliferation of models is increasing competition among original equipment manufacturers (OEMs) which should help bring costs down.
Electrification, however, is going beyond passenger cars. In 2022, over half of India’s three-wheeler registrations were electric. Similarly, electric light commercial vehicle sales worldwide increased by more than 90% in 2022 compared to the year before4. Such encouraging growth is also being witnessed in other market segments like electric heavy-duty trucks and buses.
The forecast
Even in the IEA’s stated policies scenario (STEPS – a conservative scenario which only factors in existing policies), growth of electric vehicles is expected to be strong this decade (see Figure 2). Across the globe, countries are swiftly introducing bans on the sale of new ICE vehicles. Some countries, like Norway, have taken the lead by making this ban effective from 2025. For many other countries, the bans come into effect between 2030 and 2040. Collectively, therefore, it is reasonable to expect a meaningful uptick in EV sales as we progress towards those deadlines.
One of the biggest hurdles in EV adoption is the availability of ample public charging infrastructure. Fortunately, charging infrastructure is developing quickly, albeit at different rates in different countries. Overall, however, the IEA have an optimistic view on the number of publicly available charging points worldwide by 2030.
A renewed focus on the supply chain
According to the IEA, automotive lithium-ion (Li-ion) battery demand increased by about 65% to 550 gigawatt hours (GWh) in 2022, from about 330 GWh in 2021, primarily because of growth in electric passenger car sales. In 2022, about 60% of lithium, 30% of cobalt, and 10% of nickel demand was for EV batteries. Only five years prior, these shares were around 15%, 10% and 2%, respectively.
Electric vehicles are not only driving demand for batteries, but also the underlying commodities. For investors, this means a holistic view of automotive and battery value chains is warranted when considering the electrification megatrend. For example, China holds a dominant position in both value chains and its role in terms of where it sits within the value chain is evolving rapidly. China is the biggest manufacturer of batteries worldwide but is also quickly establishing itself in the segment of car companies (OEMs) with the emergence of brands like BYD.
But as competition increases, more regulation is introduced, and further innovation happens, supply chains will develop. Some links may get broken while others get formed. All in all, an exciting time to be following this space.

tsla longs fighting uphill battlebulls are in control of this move but lack the follow through necessary to make a convincing move to the upside look like a change of weekly momentum. weve made a daily bounce that retraced enough to say a lower low is set, but havent made a higher low or confirmed the move with a trip above the last bearflag area/value area high. weve also started forming a topping out proccess 4hr as indices futures fail to climb over a top like 4037 es1!, and this has happened every leg of the way fown for stocks making me think we need to at least revisit the dotted line, and if we break through it id look for the lower horizontal. if we support in the mid range and move higher, especially if indices are breaking out with multiple sectors green, or if we get immediate continuation id still be long.

VW reported $4.3 billion in third quarter operating profit. Wall Street was looking for $4.5 billion. Shares are down 3.8% in overseas trading.
Financial guidance hasn’t changed, but delivery guidance has. Back in July, Volkswagen believed total deliveries in 2022 would rise 5% to 10% compared with the 2021 total of 8.9 million units. Now the company expects 2022 deliveries to be the same as 2021. Supply chain constraints are to blame.
Despite that headwind VW’s EV business continued to expand in the quarter. Battery electric vehicles amounted to 6.8% of total VW deliveries. Year to date, VW has delivered 366,400 EVs, up from 293,000 delivered in the same period of 2021. China accounted for 112,700 of those 2022 EV deliveries. VW’s Chinese EV sales are up 139% so far in 2022 compared with the same span of 2021.

Tesla update The so-called "phantom braking" problem is being looked at by US regulator the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA).
It received 354 complaints in the past nine months and its investigation will cover approximately 416,000 Tesla Model 3 and Model Y vehicles from 2021-22.
Drivers say the issue occurs using the Autopilot driver assistance system.
The feature gives the vehicle control over some elements of braking and steering when driving, although it is not a substitute for a human driver.
Despite the name, Tesla recommends drivers remain vigilant and supervise their vehicle, noting the Autopilot ADAS system "does not make the vehicle autonomous".
Tesla is currently under investigation by the NHTSA over two other matters.
In December 2021, it disabled its Passenger Play feature that allowed games to be played on its touchscreen while the car is in motion, leading to an open investigation covering an estimated 580,000 vehicles.
And last August, the NHTSA started to look into the role of the Autopilot system in 11 crashes involving emergency vehicles, covering approximately 765,000 Tesla cars.

STLA | Stock reviewSTLA is the 2nd biggest vehicles manufacturer in Europe, after VW.
It includes several major brands, such as Citroen, Chrysler, Mazerati, Fiat busses, recently Peugeot was added to the list.
It has a good PE ratio (4.3), no debts, BUT very low net income.
Recently STLA stock decreased in price, probably because of the low net income.
An interesting stock to watch.
Please share your thoughts about near future of this stock.
Keysight Selected by NIO to Verify Connectivity in EV'sKeys has had a great run throughout the last 12 months but has been pulling back down to its previous support / resistance area where it will be interesting to see if it bounces or continues down.
I did spot that in todays news, NIO has announced that they will be using KEYS to help test various connectivity functions within their Electric Vehicles. NIO is a pretty pumped stock so I wonder if there will be any flow on affect across to KEYS when the news spreads wider.
One to watch.

TOM / Q4 2021TOM continues it's way up.
Short-term
Considering the economy rise in general, TOM will continue it's way up to +-16.50, at least in as long as general economical situation will remain the same.
By looking at the recent trend of TOM, the reach of 16.50 may take longer than initially expected, but in reality it may perform even better than planned, considering the New Year boost, which comes very soon.
Mid-term
Speaking about the mid-term, the new e-cars market will add value, which is being strongly supported by the ecological initiatives and massive investments.
Very long-term
Many other stocks have skyrocketed after the lockdowns, and it may seem as if the current price is of TOM is also away higher than it should be if there was no COVID.
In fact, he white line in the chart, is a global trend of TOM for the whole period available.
This trend fits perfectly the prices of today, which means that the price level is at a quite safe level.
Other factors
Technological innovation, demand in mobility and ecological concerns/investments, are making the current price level pretty much realistic, or even under-evaluated.
Forecasts of housing prices in Europe are very bullish in the coming 1-3 years, which can be quite a reason to believe that current global trends will continues as well within the mentioned period.
Summary
TOM is being traded at a realistic price level, or even underestimated.
Both factors + global bully trend + tech demand + ecology = will keep rising the TOM value as well as many others on the market.
Forecast
TOM will reach 16.50 withing this year or earlier.
BRUMM OR BRUH?A few days ago Porsche Holding presented their earnings and today we will find out if this company is a good buying opportunity, or not.
Buying points:
-close to a break out above the triangle
Indicators:
-> strong support in the 88.96 area (->fib 0.618)
-> hit the SMA 100 several time
-> relativ % divergence between VW shares which indicates a gap upwards (orange line)
Selling points:
-couldn’t stay above the 100 SMA
-MACD weekly, monthly indicate slow down
Fundamentals
-great earnings (estimates 4,3 -> got 8)
-Volkswagen EV (electric vehicle) trend
Conclusion
The technical analysis gives us too little information about the further course of events. But the fundamental data gives us a clear tendency where it is going, namely upwards, because the Porsche Holding gives you the VW shares more cheaply than to buy them directly. Looking at the orange line both share acted same where as now there is a gap to fill. Therefore, I want you to know that you are not buying the brand Porsche but also VW and other companies shares.
