Wonderful discussion. As a former democrat, really appreciate the comments regarding the democrats snubbing Tesla. So wish an olive branch could offered and the party publicly recognize Tesla’s amazing contributions to our world.
Farzad: One of your very best podcasts!! Rohan is a superb individual. No doubt we will be hearing from him again in another important job, perhaps back in politics. This kind of political perspective from Rohan is extremely valuable and thought provoking.
Patel is a breath of fresh air for this channel … he’s not partisan. He’s smart enough to criticize both parties and also attribute successful policies to the correct party / individuals… The Elon apologists , there are many on this channel (Farzad included)… need to listen and learn from this guy !!! I will add … I’m personally looking forward to having two functioning political parties in the US … I’m a moderate (center left) but desire a move to the middle in contrast to the trumpism and Bernie Sanders mentality
I’ll agree, except to say Elon plans way further into the future than rest of us, don’t knock him until a decade has passed! Plus there’s a some personal / civilisational stuff that’s way toxic, over-rides reason or short-termism.
Medicare for All! Meaning, lower costs, higher efficiency, and accessible to everyone. Multiple studies have shone it won't cost less than what we're doing now and provide better outcomes while maintaining competition between hospitals for better outcomes.
Trumpism ?? Trump and Elon are going to move the country forward and more efficiently not the other party, we must all stop drinking the cool-aid s the Democratic party of JFK and FDR is long gone, the JFK policies are more aligned with the conservatives and not todays so-called Democrats. Wake up America
Must listen podcast Farzad… great guests, excellent questions and elaboration!!! Rohan has fantastic way of putting things in front of you and they makes sense
We need models to assess the cost/benefit of unions to all involved. I read Mitt Romney's autobiography, and to give an appraisal of union relations at American Motors where George Romney was the CEO and past savior of AM, Mitt wanted to talk to the workers on the shop floor, but supervisors said that it was too dangerous to do on account of the level of animosity of the workers! And this was a family that had previously saved the company and the jobs of the workers!
Even though the auto workers union is incredibly corrupt with most of the management being convicted of felonies, they are still a political force, so there must be someway of working with them. Creating meaningful legislations that would encourage unions to work for the benefit of their members instead of management would be a good start as would, including in that legislation labor laws that would apply to every citizen of the United States.
@@colingenge9999 _"...encourage unions to work for the benefit of their members instead of management..."_ Like most people in most cases, they're working for the benefit of themselves, except ly ing about it. The best most accurate way to think of them, is as another layer of middle-management, just more people skimming your paycheck for their own benefit. The less middlemen you have, the more profit you make as a worker, as proven by how Telsa pays better than any union auto factory.
The world would be a better place if full self-driving existed. Because people use their vehicles like a weapon. Safety on the roads is a top concern for me and my family.
My dad is a hopeless liberal who is reluctant to change when it comes to innovative technology. After he drove my Model Y with FSD, he admitted he won’t be able to drive any other car. This coming from a stubborn pridefully traditional Chinese man who refuse to admit Biden is a horrible president.
Tesla can be a World leader in technology, and Biden can be a great President, and trump can be the greatest existential risk we have as reported on trump’s entire staff and all those who know him. Just bc Biden foolishly does not support Tesla does not mean that trump can solve a single problem. Pretending that trump would be capable of any sort of coherent planning is a pipe dream given he’s never assembled even one meaningful sentence on any issue the presents a nuanced understanding of it. If you disagree, please quote it. Trump DID say it was a huge mistake for Europe to buy nat gas from Russia. Everything else has been fear mongering and name calling. With 13 business failures, please stop pretending trump is capable of managing anything let along the Presidency.
As a liberal and a believer in sustaining the natural order of things, your last question hit home with me. I became an investor in Tesla because of Elon's original talk of environmentalism along with so many like-minded fellow investors of Tesla and Musk. Since his transition, I've been racking my brain attempting to come to terms with Musk and even the idea of whether to continue my investment in Tesla stocks.
@@rogerstarkey5390 there are a number of times in the video where Farzad and Hans ask Rohan to explain the democrats side of things and he doesn’t answer directly he answers like a politician would. I’m not going to go through the video and timestamp it for you..
As all the producers know, every regulation has a cost in time, assets, workforce, and money. Regulators and lawmakers need to have a great understanding of this and accurate models to assess the costs.
Yup, every regulation is just another dollar that an employer is unable to give a worker, because it had to be spent complying with thousands of petty regulations instead.
More than just Tesla to compete with overseas. Their CFO said 18 months to bankruptcy if they don’t change some things. Interesting admission. Unions work until there’s successful disruptive competition 😮
I listened hyper-critically to the Kamala Harris economic policy speech 4 days ago, and was surprised by her aggressive proposals around the green transition, which sounded like she was extending olive branches to Elon and other big movers and shakers. I agree with Rohan that we could be pleasantly surprised if/when she wins and takes office.
I'll have to watch that speech now. I've wondered, the speculated recently... "What if Kamala Harris "Made the call" after the Election suggesting a clean slate and Elon accepted. . I *HOPE* his first word of advice would be to ZERO the tariffs and invite China IN, maybe on the same terms they extended to US brands, Joint Ventures, 50:50. Why? Well, if nothing else it MIGHT save the US Auto Industry? Then there's the side issue that it MIGHT prevent a WAR? If you're trading, you're FAR less likely to be fighting.
Harris and Buttigieg are smart enough to realize the amazing Ryall benefits Tesla offers. Unfortunately Biden was too old-fashioned to realize what technologies will drive the century. Surely an intelligent new administration will find a way to have non-union Tesla and SpaceX exist along leg jobs such as plumber and electricians who can work well within the union matrix. Harris has already stated a need to expand training and certification for trades which America desperately needs in a country where virtually every house is feeling to one degree or another due to lack of expertise.
The main problem with US government is the legal bribing of politicians. What sounds like a good policy is handed off to their donors as sweet deals with little taxation. We taxpayers get little or no benefit from the promised program, but the political donors get their payoff. Jeannine
All the more reason why go vern ment shouldn't even be allowed to pick and choose who gets taxed. A flat rate for everyone would do a lot to cut out corruption.
Amazing Discussion Farzad, Hanz, Rohan. Thank you for sharing those deep insights and perspectives. Every investor (Bulls and Bears) should listen to this.
Farzad you are truly getting the best guests on your channel, kudos to you bro lol. Rohan is an amazing asset to our country hope he gets involved with the new administration no matter who wins.
Great! Would love more discussions and interviews with individuals outside your "orbe." This was the most informative episode you've presented in a long time. More! More!
Did Tesla use SAP? 33:30 "...IRA...": IRA should have one sentence: "Government counterfeiting is illegal". That's all that's needed. To understand this you must "know" what money is, where it comes from, and where it goes. I've yet to meet someone that knows that... even after I tell them. And I can't give you the link to the information because TH-cam deletes the comment if I do. It's really hard to watch three people pontificate when they are obviously exemplary and (to the extent they have any influence at all) part of the problem.
Maybe Rohan can join Elon in the DOGE efficiency program for the US government. Elon needs an army of Tesla warriors to get into the weeds of the US Bureaucracy.
Bill Clinton once said that being president was like running a graveyard. "Being president is like running a cemetery: you've got a lot of people under you and nobody's listening." This was Trump's administration in spades. Trump wasn't smart enough to know that not only were they not listening, some were actually working against what he wanted done.
Rohan is among the best ever thought leaders; his interview was top shelf. Early on, he made a suggestion to dive into the 'Tesla Diaspora' -- similar to early IBM (?) diaspora that created Silicon Valley. The stretch required to work in Musk's innovation power houses is fuel for succeeding anywhere else.
Excellent interview and thanks for sharing. Elon is lucky to have you guys by his side. Tweaking life can be a little unnerving. But if anyone can bring both sides together, I think Elon can. 🙏🙏🙏

FYI, that early Federal tax credit helped me buy a Chevy Volt, which got me in love with EV's, helped convince me to invest in TSLA, and now I am driving a 2024 model X.
Hahahahaha! You’re at the Medicare issue. As I said before, I’m 80. I need Medicare to cover Hospital ER if I have a Stroke. Otherwise, Medical care is like being a stock animal, run through the stanchions, and prescribed Baby Aspirin. In other words ‘Doctor Google’ is your go-to, just don’t fall and break any bones.
Well, FYI, I’m on my last wheels, 1904 Ford Ranger and 1906 Chevy Silverado. They are only what I need to make trips to the feed store, grocery store, miscellaneous other errands.
Medicare needs to become privatized. The Government needs to get out of the way of health care. They get money and health care becomes worse. Vaccines are forced on citizens that are not properly tested.
Utter rubbish. Go somewhere that has free public healthcare. Probably not perfect but not gouging the sick either and providing service to all. And please don't come back with, 'there is no such thing as free' etc. We all know govt. services cost money.
Definitely didn’t regret listening to the whole interview. Thank you for doing what you do. I’m so glad to be part of the community, even though the family thinks I’m crazy. I wish the best to you and yours😊
There’s an actual study from he 90’s that shows 40 percent of your employees wide up doing 80 percent of the workload. Hire like minded people that have the same work ethic and commitment
In re: Musk’s endorsement of Trump. I’m still a democrat but an ardent believer in Musks vision, his brilliance, and successes, etc., I’m going to follow his recommendation. But whoever wins POTUS, I think it won’t be too long into the future the entire world will see that Elon Musk is truly altruistic.
What a great interview. Farzad, you won me back with this one. I agree that Biden snubbed Elon for the EV Summit. It was painful, but Elon should have not cared. (For a man who can put up with alot, he came across pretty weak.) Tesla is the leading EV company and brand in the world. On top of that, the fact that the IRA is helping push Tesla more than any other company is a huge action of the government backing them, along with the supercharging network investment. I frankly don't like what Elon has become, but I have a soft spot for Tesla as a company. Still own shares and follow news. Considering buying a Tesla once again.
IRA helps Tesla most not because it wants to but by Tesla own hard work that Tesla benefited the most. Remember Tesla was only getting the $4500 because they are not unionized under the non-passed IRA.
Something that I think was overlooked in this conversation, was the fact that Elon said over and over how important and existential the issue of freedom of speech was. I don't think this was hyperbole... I think he really meant it - that censorship is an existential threat to democracy. You don't need to read that much more into this. I take him at his word.
Hans, you are a brilliant guy. you have a speech crutch where you elongate syllables instead of just pausing. if you can fix that it would be much more pleasing to listen to your insightful comments and questions.
Love this chat and pod but my god the number of commercials kills the good vibe. I can't even find a way to skip over the commercials I've already seen 10 times.
The energy unlocking crypto value, it's weird, but not that weird, it's similar to gold. Gold is nearly usless but we spend a huge amount of work and energy to extract it to make value.
Yes - and the banking industry uses both a great deal of energy and labor. One advantage of crypto is that it is much easier to shift the location of power usage than other industries, both short term and long term. That can help with both load balancing and with funding the development of new energy sources, especially stranded renewable assets. Once the new capacity is built other industries can move in to take advantage of the available energy while the mining rigs are moved to another favorable location. In these ways crypto mining can actually help speed up the adoption of renewable energy, especially in isolated places. This is of course besides its main functions as money, value transfer, and verification.
yeah, you need top tier talent and then you can let them free to go make it work. They will rise to the occasion. What a great tradition. Good on tesla on that growth from the infancy and onward to further new growth.
Thank you for a great interview. Rohan is making so much sense and I follow him on X. Just a quick note on his comment on blockchain and its energy consumption. He is right that some blockchains (I.e. Bitcoin) require the energy use, but there are now more advanced protocol that do not use energy as a security measure (I.e. Cardano). So the newer and smarter blockchains do not have the negative grid and environmental impacts, while having all and more of the functionality.
PHEVs are terrible. They are NOT EVs! Calling them EVs is only good marketing. EREVs on the other hand are golden. They truly deliver the promise of the best of both worlds. 100% EV driving for everyday local trips and long-range capabilities for the occasional longer trip, all delivered with a smaller battery (30 kWh +/-) with all the benefits that gives.
Rohn was simply excellent. 10 out of 10. Wonderful to hear a different perspective.
This is by far, the best video/interview you have ever done.
I think so too. Thank you all
Rohan must have split personality. His views on X go beyond border of communism. Communism for the masses, privilege for him.
SMR was epic also
Agree!
Agreed. Farzad please interview the Tesla diaspora!
Wonderful discussion. As a former democrat, really appreciate the comments regarding the democrats snubbing Tesla. So wish an olive branch could offered and the party publicly recognize Tesla’s amazing contributions to our world.
This is the way
If that was the first phone call it would confuse a LOT of Americans.
Good luck with that. As long as Elon got huge stake at Tesla. Dems will still hate him for owning 𝕏.
Democrats are funded by the unions by the hundreds of billions. Between that and Elon supporting free speech on X and now Trump, they hate Tesla.
@@rogerstarkey5390 I don’t think it needs to be the first call but it should be on the list of calls.

Me too❤

EXCELLENT TITLE, FARZAD!!!🎉❤
Excellent discussion as well, and your superpower! Rohan clearly sees this and wants to be a part. Keep up the good work!
Love me some Rohan Patel🥰 Excited to see what Rohan does next!
If you never washed cars, vacuumed cars, or moved cars around the lot during quarter end...you never really worked at Tesla.
Biden did not include Tesla because Tesla doesn't use union labor. Period. I see no reason to expect Kamala to behave any differently.
We need models to assess the cost/benefit of unions to all involved. I read Mitt Romney's autobiography, and to give an appraisal of union relations at American Motors where George Romney was the CEO and past savior of AM, Mitt wanted to talk to the workers on the shop floor, but supervisors said that it was too dangerous to do on account of the level of animosity of the workers!

What an amazing down to earth experienced and intelligent man Rohan Patel is! Thanks for this eye opening interview, Farzad!

Cheering Tesla on regardless of what Elon does.
This was such a great interview❤ and what a level headed intelligent guy 👏
Former VP. Good interview that was balanced but I also sense that Rohan leans well left of Elon.
I am 80 years old. I’m loving learning about this stuff.🤗Thank you.
Excellent stuff, I only wish Rohan would be a little more concrete and less political with his answers but otherwise very very insightful.
I'm seeing a lot of "Should be less political" but very little specific reference.

How will Volkswagen, where many employees expected “a job for life”, compete with Tesla’s focus and drive?
More than just Tesla to compete with overseas. Their CFO said 18 months to bankruptcy if they don’t change some things. Interesting admission. Unions work until there’s successful disruptive competition 😮

High quality content. 👏 Well done Farzad Hans and Rohan! Very educational and great conversation
This is probably the most interesting one you have ever done. Excellent - thank you!
This was fantastic! Thanks to all three of you.

I'll have to watch that speech now.
I've wondered, the speculated recently...
"What if Kamala Harris "Made the call" after the Election suggesting a clean slate and Elon accepted.
.
I *HOPE* his first word of advice would be to ZERO the tariffs and invite China IN, maybe on the same terms they extended to US brands, Joint Ventures, 50:50.
Why?
Well, if nothing else it MIGHT save the US Auto Industry?
Then there's the side issue that it MIGHT prevent a WAR?
If you're trading, you're FAR less likely to be fighting.
Harris and Buttigieg are smart enough to realize the amazing Ryall benefits Tesla offers. Unfortunately Biden was too old-fashioned to realize what technologies will drive the century. Surely an intelligent new administration will find a way to have non-union Tesla and SpaceX exist along leg jobs such as plumber and electricians who can work well within the union matrix.

Thanks for introducing me to Rohan. Very interesting conversation, especially after your recent unfortunate foray into political punditry.
What an insightful conversation. Rohan should make the rounds more often in the Tesla-sphere.
These were the best comments on Elon and politics I’ve ever heard in the Tesla bubble.

Hans, you are a brilliant guy. you have a speech crutch where you elongate syllables instead of just pausing. if you can fix that it would be much more pleasing to listen to your insightful comments and questions.
See...this is what I like about his responses ❤
Yes, itsss painful toooo listen toooo sometimes annnnnd different frommmm his speech a year ago.
A dingo ate my baby.
I literally can’t listen to him. Anything Hans is in I skip
Love this chat and pod but my god the number of commercials kills the good vibe.
I can't even find a way to skip over the commercials I've already seen 10 times.
Wow!! This was a fabulous interview!! Thanks so much!!
excellent, thx for this interview
The energy unlocking crypto value, it's weird, but not that weird, it's similar to gold. Gold is nearly usless but we spend a huge amount of work and energy to extract it to make value.
Yes - and the banking industry uses both a great deal of energy and labor.
One advantage of crypto is that it is much easier to shift the location of power usage than other industries, both short term and long term. That can help with both load balancing and with funding the development of new energy sources, especially stranded renewable assets. Once the new capacity is built other industries can move in to take advantage of the available energy while the mining rigs are moved to another favorable location. In these ways crypto mining can actually help speed up the adoption of renewable energy, especially in isolated places. This is of course besides its main functions as money, value transfer, and verification.
@@alanlight7740 Even for oil, instead of flaring the gas, they started putting it in a natural gas generator and mining crypto.
Really great. Thank you all
18:15 This part was very fascinating for me, as I come from Germany.
Love this conversation thanks. It is quite a contrast with the SMR convo.
Beautiful and well balanced conversation. I almost ditched this channel for political reasons. Glad I didn’t.
Definition of hybrid car,
Take worst of ICE car,
Combine with worst of EV car.
Now you can enjoy the worst of both worlds.
So insightful. Thank you.
yeah, you need top tier talent and then you can let them free to go make it work. They will rise to the occasion. What a great tradition. Good on tesla on that growth from the infancy and onward to further new growth.
Thank you for a great interview. Rohan is making so much sense and I follow him on X.
Just a quick note on his comment on blockchain and its energy consumption. He is right that some blockchains (I.e. Bitcoin) require the energy use, but there are now more advanced protocol that do not use energy as a security measure (I.e. Cardano).
So the newer and smarter blockchains do not have the negative grid and environmental impacts, while having all and more of the functionality.
I’m feeling inspired watching this interview. Let’s get shit done!
If Harris wins she will do everything she can do just like her ‘predecessor’ to “go after that guy”
Rohan is the G.O.A.T...😎
PHEVs are terrible. They are NOT EVs! Calling them EVs is only good marketing.
EREVs on the other hand are golden. They truly deliver the promise of the best of both worlds. 100% EV driving for everyday local trips and long-range capabilities for the occasional longer trip, all delivered with a smaller battery (30 kWh +/-) with all the benefits that gives.
wow! Farxad broke out the glasses to make even more sense!
Great to see you again, Rohan.
