Growth Notes

What I witnessed last night during Tesla's live stream of their We, Robot event in LA was a great moment in history.

Talk about foresight and futuristic thinking.

I was astonished at everything that they unveiled. I've never been this excited for a product launch event of any sort, and of any kind, until this one.

The event was greatly hyped, and rightfully so, because Elon Musk and the Tesla team flexed their innovation muscles by unveiling several product updates.

The Tesla humanoid, called Optimus, is a fully autonomous robot that can handle any task it is given. It also converses as a real human would. Incredibly impressive.

The Robotaxi, a fully autonomous taxi, was shown. These vehicles can be owned by individuals and participate in a fleet that patrols a city offering ride sharing. The cost for each Robotaxi has a low market price, $30k, which is only made possible by Tesla’s Gigafactory and leverage from its economies of scale.

The company also announced a larg van, the Robovan, that can hold approximately 20 people. And yes, you guessed correctly: fully autonomous.

Tesla is a generational company that is pulling the future towards 2024. It's quite inspirational — especially as I take hold of my endeavors. By reaching so high and so far, they're able to accomplish much more than the average company.

The best defense from bull or bear markets is creativity.

Innovation is a shield for a company that wants to be perennial.

It just takes courage and immense hard work to be daring enough to reach into the future and pull it towards the present moment.

Until next time,

Anthony
