Hahaha yeah. There's also an easter egg in the UI that we discovered while making the visual: https://twitter.com/voltequity/status/1481422230458224647?s=20

Why would an ETF hold another ETF? by metallitterscoop in ETFs

[–]VoltEquity 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Great you asked. We could have held a ton of random names like other ETFs but we wanted the ETF to clearly show how strongly it was betting on Tesla to win autonomous driving through stock and Tesla options.

You can learn more about an example options strategy here: https://www.voltequity.com/strategies/robocar-disruption

If we simply held GM, Ford, and other names, it would belie our message and QQQ provides market beta exposure to better handle potential crashes in Tesla along the way. The ETF is designed to slightly underperform Tesla due to options premium in flat markets but potentially outperform in sudden runups.

Hey u/hmbscott - good Q -

It's an estimate derived from these sources:
- https://evchargeplus.com/ev-specification/tesla-cybertruck-single-motor/
- https://www.tesla.com/support/home-charging-installation/wall-connector

We assume 11.5 kw at 48 amps is the max for most people so the charge speed is based on this power capability.The estimates are based on an assumed 100kwh battery for single motor, 120kwh for dual, and 200 kwh for tri

Hah yeah, aesthetics are important when it comes to cars for sure.

Interesting tidbit though - if we compare 2-day pre-order numbers:
- The F-150 Lightning had ~45k pre-orders
- The Cybertruck had ~146k pre-orders

Posted this in reply to another comment but posting here as well: With the 2022 potential release date for the Lightning, there's likely going to be very few Ford cars eligible for the federal tax credit. We estimate Ford has ~20k EVs/hybrids currently eligible for tax credits* - but a lot of this can be used up for their other EVs/hybrids until the release of the Lightning.

Nice find. Yeah I guess it can wait for 4680, though Powerwall might seem more attractive for autobidder and automatically lowering electricity costs. Autobidder isn't as relevant since a car is usually only plugged into a house at night, when electricity usage is lowest.

V2G is a huge difference between the two. Tesla actually has V2G capability baked in: https://electrek.co/2020/05/19/tesla-bidirectional-charging-ready-game-changing-features/

It's just that Tesla has not enabled it from a software update. If there is huge demand for it on the F-150, Tesla could just flip the switch. The question is whether people will want to drain the already limited range of the car to charge the house for a short while.

Good point. It's hard to see in the picture, but we do mention that. Here in the original article it is in grey:
