00:00:30.000 Elon Musk posted a video saying, hey, look at the latest semi-truck.

00:00:33.940 Nine years ago, he said this was coming.

00:00:35.920 It's finally here.

00:00:36.740 You should see what it looks like.

00:00:37.720 The guy's standing right in front of it talking about it.

00:00:39.940 Here's him.

00:00:40.360 Go for it.

00:00:41.280 Welcome to the Tesla Semi event.

00:00:43.920 We're super excited to start production with the Tesla Semi truck.

00:00:47.620 And this is really going to be a revolutionary truck that is capable of carrying the heaviest loads over very long distances with ease of recharge.

00:00:56.840 mega charger that's capable of a megawatt of power this is really going to be a phenomenal

00:01:03.140 truck and it's going to be really also a driver's truck drivers are going to love driving this

00:01:06.760 truck because it's it just has so much acceleration it's it's like almost like a sports car in truck

00:01:12.300 form so it's it's going to be the funnest truck to drive in the very near future we'll be adding

00:01:18.480 in the self-driving features so these will be incredibly important for for safety so if somebody

00:01:24.900 on a long truck journey, they can engage the Tesla self-driving and greatly improve safety

00:01:33.040 and comfort of driving so that the driver arrives at the destination and still feels

00:01:39.280 refreshed. Otherwise, driving for any hours can be quite exhausting. So this is really

00:01:43.820 going to be a game-changer truck. And also, it's going to make a ton of sense economically

00:01:48.620 because the cost of electricity per mile is much less than the cost of diesel, especially

00:01:52.500 in these crazy times what a great timing so i think this is really going to be something that

00:01:56.320 works on on every level yeah i'd recommend placing more orders if you haven't already

00:01:59.880 uh but the waiting list is already pretty significant um and this is really going to be

00:02:04.340 a breakthrough product for for uh heavy shipping thank you and thank you for coming so check this

00:02:09.080 out the tesla truck can go up to 500 miles loaded okay consume about 1.7 kilowatt per mile and

00:02:18.700 recover roughly 60 percent of its range in 30 minutes of the charge that they have so large

00:02:24.440 fleet operators are the ones that are mainly excited about this you got walmart dhl you got

00:02:29.960 pepsico uh uh you know some of these guys a a shipper coalition recently selected tesla as the

00:02:36.420 primary supplier for an order of you ready they ordered 2500 electric class 8 trucks 2500 they

00:02:45.820 ordered one dhl's reaction especially meaningful because they actually tested it so they're the

00:02:50.900 ones that are you know super excited about it fleet cfos when diesel is expensive they're sitting

00:02:55.140 there saying are you kidding me i'm paying you know uh axios reported tesla's comparison showing

00:02:59.520 diesel fuel costing roughly 80 cents a mile recently versus a 20 to 30 cents mile for

00:03:05.320 electricity so those guys the cfos are excited drivers who have actually driven it they sit

00:03:10.260 there and say you mean to tell me i can take a nap and relax and watch a movie and this guy's

00:03:13.700 self-driving? Yes. Now, who's worried is the question. Tom, I'm going to come to you with

00:03:17.520 this one. Truck stop operators. That's scary. Truck stop operators and charging infrastructure

00:03:24.820 companies. Think about where you're going to go. That's a business right there, right?

00:03:29.060 So they're worried about what's going to happen with them. Small trucking companies,

00:03:32.800 the big guys can build depot charging. Pepsi can say, we'll install charges at our distribution

00:03:37.840 center. Small trucking companies cannot do that. They don't have those types of resources.

00:03:42.620 and long haul operators 500 miles sounds enormous until you compare with diesel a diesel class a

00:03:48.700 truck can often travel well beyond a thousand mile between fills so 500 miles is not as long

00:03:56.100 as you think it is uh compared to others now of course the resting like instead of resting and

00:04:01.060 i'm able to take a nap you can make up so much some of some of the time there uh so those are

00:04:06.180 some of the things but it's exciting i love the fact that he's saying he's going to do this and

00:04:09.280 he delivered on it. Of course, everything big you're trying to do in your life is going to be

00:04:13.040 10 times harder than you think, and it takes 10 times longer than you think it was going to take.

00:04:16.380 Tom, your thoughts on this? Well, I think... Okay, when I sell my business, I want the best tax and

00:04:22.420 investment advice. I want to help my kids, and I want to give back to the community.

00:04:26.720 Ooh, then it's the vacation of a lifetime. I wonder if my head of office has a forever setting.

00:04:33.760 An IG Private Wealth advisor creates the clarity you need with plans that harmonize your business, your family, and your dreams.

00:04:42.260 Get financial advice that puts you at the center.

00:04:45.240 Find your advisor at IGPrivateWealth.com.

00:04:49.180 This is disruption, and it's also opportunity.

00:04:52.740 If you're in the trucking industry, and this is going to be your truck, and you're like, look, I've got a partner with people.

00:05:00.420 The smaller truckers are going to have to partner with the bigger ones.

00:05:03.760 and it's going to lead to some mergers consolidation.

00:05:06.540 Some people say that will affect price per goods.

00:05:09.320 But this is coming in exactly the wrong time for the trucking industry

00:05:14.740 because the trucking industry is suffering through the cost of diesel.

00:05:19.180 Pat, you and I, I won't say his name because I'm going to say two businesses here.

00:05:23.260 I'm going to call them A and B because it's in Chicago, and I don't want to expose anybody.

00:05:27.420 But there is a trucking company that was working with one of our friends who's in factoring.

00:05:31.820 And what factoring is, think of it this way, Vinny.

00:05:36.800 You tell—

00:05:38.820 Buying future payments.

00:05:40.120 Right.

00:05:40.360 Well, but it goes like this.

00:05:42.100 You told Adam that you're going to deliver him five tons of corn every week all summer long.

00:05:49.280 Loves corn.

00:05:49.960 And all of a sudden—and you have a little bit of a buffer so you can pay your truck drivers,

00:05:54.220 and you can buy diesel fuel and pick up the corn.

00:05:56.620 You take it to Adam, and then he pays you.

00:05:58.260 Well, all of a sudden, the cost is going up, and you don't have a 20% profit anymore.

00:06:02.760 You only have a 5% profit.

00:06:04.600 So you give me, the factoring guy says, listen, can you give me an advance on what Adam's going to pay me when I deliver the corn?

00:06:12.860 Well, why don't you just have Adam pay you?

00:06:14.260 I can't.

00:06:15.260 I need to pay for the diesel and it's expensive so I can get it to Adam.

00:06:19.320 And he doesn't pay until I deliver the corn and he inspects it that it's all high quality.

00:06:24.060 So you have factoring.

00:06:25.040 And right now, there is a factoring company in Chicago that said one of their customers, Pat, one of their customers lost $2 million of the $2.5 million of EBITDA they have this year on fuel cost.

00:06:38.940 Last year, $2.5 million of EBITDA.

00:06:41.040 This year, half a million.

00:06:42.660 Oh, my gosh.

00:06:43.280 And they are scared to death.

00:06:45.320 So they're going to have to park the trucks and not even put them to work.

00:06:48.960 Well, and by the way, if they park the trucks, they better hide them because the bank's going to come get them.

00:06:53.300 Because they've got to pay for those trucks.

00:06:54.860 They've got leases on those trucks.

00:06:56.080 They've got payments on those trucks.

00:06:57.780 And in California today, in California, with the, I think it's $2.07 tax, we're seeing 801 for diesel in California was legitimately over the weekend, there was 801 diesel, not just at one location.

00:07:14.080 There was multiple locations that it breached to eight.

00:07:16.720 Now, I think it's back to 765 this morning, but still, oh, back to 765.

00:07:21.800 Oh, dear God.

00:07:22.460 You know, that's still $2 above $5.50, and at $5.50, we announced that we had economic stress.

00:07:29.560 $5.50 diesel creates economic stress.

00:07:32.160 And so I think this is coming at exactly the right time, you know, for Elon and bringing it out.

00:07:40.860 It's bringing it at the right time.

00:07:43.320 But, yeah, look at this.

00:07:44.140 $6 to $10, 66%.

00:07:46.360 Yep. 0.79

00:07:46.780 So, by the way, a user said on Super Chat, nobody wants EVs or voted for this junk. 0.95

00:07:52.040 That's Lance Dooley.

00:07:53.940 Gas and diesel is the best.

00:07:55.560 Well, Lance, respectfully, you could say that, but the market talks.

00:08:00.340 So if the market places orders of thousands of these EVs, they're telling you they want it.

00:08:05.920 Now, if it works or it doesn't work, we're also going to find that out 6, 12, 24 months later.

00:08:10.480 But the reality of it is he said he was going to do it.

00:08:13.020 And if you're going to make that investment into this, of knowing this is eventually going to be here, you better believe it's because there's a market forward.

00:08:20.120 Nobody comes out with a product that's, and by the way, it may fail, it may not succeed, but the market has been excited about this for a while.

00:08:28.840 So we'll see what happens.

00:08:29.720 Adam, your thoughts on this?

00:08:30.560 Yeah, well, look, Tom said the magic word, which is disruption.

00:08:33.160 And there's disruption going on in many different industries.

00:08:35.980 This might be the biggest.

00:08:37.340 you know i i had a heart to heart with a buddy of mine uh who's an uber driver and i said how

00:08:44.360 long are you planning on being the uber driver and he's like i don't know this is what i got

00:08:48.280 going on right now i said you better look for a new job immediately bro he's like what do you mean

00:08:54.200 i go let me let me just explain something to you because obviously you guys know that i take uber

00:08:58.740 and lyft every single day by the way if lyft wants to give me a sponsor we'll take it here

00:09:02.560 if you're an American

00:09:04.500 if you're an American

00:09:06.480 if you're an American

00:09:09.160 who speaks English 0.67

00:09:10.740 and has a functioning brain

00:09:12.580 and wants success

00:09:14.020 you better start making alternative plans

00:09:16.820 ASAP bro

00:09:18.080 I see Waymos with no drivers

00:09:20.500 now Elon is basically delivering

00:09:22.580 these semi trucks that can basically

00:09:24.180 drive themselves, disruption is coming

00:09:26.800 you know like in Game of Thrones they're like winter is coming

00:09:28.840 winter is coming for the trucking industry

00:09:30.900 in the driving industry so whether you're driving whether you're doing in vehicles any sort of

00:09:34.600 transportation any sort of trucking you don't get too cocky i know pat went off on people getting a

00:09:39.660 little too cocky a little too comfortable when it comes to debates and elections don't get too

00:09:43.740 cocky if you're in this driving industry i'm telling you right now disruption is coming and

00:09:48.100 there's i think there's four million professional drivers out there two million driving big rigs

00:09:52.960 and two million driving other types of vehicles you might not have a job for much longer that's

00:09:58.420 my point yeah and and go ahead no i just wanted to point out how elon i don't i don't you want

00:10:02.980 i'll stay on the story because i just wanted to show you what what spacex did today because on

00:10:06.520 top of the trucks and the evs and everything start spacex starship rocket successfully reached orbit

00:10:12.040 deployed its v3 starlink satellites for the first time making it like today was the official

00:10:16.620 starship's first revenue generating flight and this is a big milestone for him like so pat besides

00:10:21.760 the cars besides this besides the neural link he's freaking launching uh satellites like one

00:10:26.760 hour ago look at that boom and he's just dude this guy about those heights bbd he's not messing
