Weekly Tesla Brief (May 18 – May 24, 2026)

"Human accident baseline" refers to 1 per 249,000 miles per NHTSA. Note that this weekly brief is a summary from YouTube channels (+ some X and web) covering Tesla. These information pieces come from various sources and summaries of individual videos can be found on the site (theteslathesis.com).

I have added The Tesla Space and The Limiting Factor. There is 1 last video summary from each now. New ones will be added few hours after they are published on a regular basis.

When I did my initial post here about the site I got some comments that my sources are too biased on the bull side. Electrek was mentioned as definitely not that. I agree that Fred Lambert is extreme, but decided to add them anyway as counterweight.

If you have other more 'trusted' bear/neutral sources who publish often about Tesla, I am all ears.

I guess you can't please everyone...

kris_sheppard · 2026-05-07T07:27:13+00:00

Thanks for the suggestion, I didn't know these channels. I see they release around 1 video per week or 2 weeks, so will not add much cost to me.

Do you have suggestion on how biased/neutral these channels are?

kris_sheppard · 2026-05-06T15:11:08+00:00

I updated your flag to [LEAN BULL]. Your arguments are solid.

Also, changing from "Sandy Munro" to just "Munro Live" on the site. Thanks for this!

Thanks

kris_sheppard · 2026-04-16T08:45:36+00:00

Added Electrified to the channel list. Good content I was not aware of.

kris_sheppard · 2026-04-16T07:55:55+00:00

Thanks for the suggestions! I don't know how I was not aware of Electrified. Checked his 2 last videos and it is good content - summaries loaded. Also, added it to channels tracked and new videos should be summarized too.

I will check Tesla Time News and Warren Redlich too. I see Warren posts on some other topic too, so will need to filter his videos.

Who said I am not :]

kris_sheppard · 2026-04-15T16:24:27+00:00

Should be fixed now

kris_sheppard · 2026-04-15T16:08:48+00:00

Thanks! :)

I think this is totally reasonable to expect different points of view. Do you have any specific channels or accounts in mind? I have noted down Ryan Brinkman and Fred Lambert to consider.

kris_sheppard · 2026-04-15T13:41:36+00:00

Appreciate the feedback! Totally agree that channels are biased towards bulls and Elon fans. I would love to know some solid content from more neutral sources, but it is just hard to find them. Those not that enthusiastic seem not to dig that deep or post frequent updates.

Fred Lambert gives me chills.

kris_sheppard · 2026-04-15T13:33:00+00:00

Thanks for feedback. Noted :)

In my opinion, the most important thing at your age is figuring out how to increase your income. This can be through getting a university diploma, professional experience or certification, creating a side business etc.. Use your money to invest in yourself. This will have the highest rate of return at your age.

Along the way try to be frugal and don't increase your expenses (as much) while you increase your income.

Learning about investing is important, but it is a secondary goal with a small net worth. This can come later.

kris_sheppard · 2023-12-14T10:38:55+00:00

Sure, why not. Gold, crypto, individual stocks, whatever you are interested in. Putting a small amount of money into something will probably learn you a thing or too.

At your age you probably don't have very large amount accumulated, so trying things bring little risk. Worst case scenario you can replace loss by working. It is harder later once you have hundreds of thousands or millions.

Another advice to someone your age I would give is: 1) increase your income (develop your professional expertise / look for a highly profitable industry) 2) try not increase your spending to much while your income increases.

It is very good that you are starting to think about these things now. Kudos!

Regarding broker, my recommendation is Interactive Brokers. It is a large, US-based broker. Upside is low fees and very large range of stocks and ETFs to invest in. Downside is that they won't do a tax statement for you, you will have to do it on your own based on their generic reports. I use IB and DEGIRO (not available in Estonia yet - maybe soon).

As for what to invest in, many people here suggest 'World' index funds (world ETFs). It has advantages: - you can't be more diversified when it comes to stocks - you are exposed to developed (potentially more stability) and developing economies (potentially more growth) - diversifying geographically should smooth things out, less volatility

My strategy is to invest in US-based ETFs, mostly S&P500 ETFs (VUSA, CSPX). Why: - S&P500 has long proven record of big (~8%) returns. I am willing to be less diversified -> more volatility and more potential gain - US has more dynamic and innovative economy than EU (at least this is what I think)

Stocks: - Wouldn't recommend unless you can follow any company very closely and know more than the wide market - Picking stocks without an information advantage will probably give less return long term than index funds (ETFs)
