UPDATES ON TWITTER AND HUGE NEW CREDIT MARKET FOR TESLA EXPECTED

EV Channels Review

This episode of Tesla Daily focuses on two major developments: the ongoing Twitter acquisition saga and a significant potential shift in the renewable energy credit market for EVs. Regarding Twitter, the discussion highlights ongoing uncertainty, with parties yet to file a stipulation to stay litigation and Chancellor McCormick requesting a potential plan from Elon Musk and Twitter. Reports of failed discussions on a lower deal price and the delay of Elon's deposition suggest continued negotiation, though the market appears to be pricing in a discount. The segment also clarifies that financing partners like Apollo and Sixth Street were never officially part of the committed debt or equity, downplaying concerns about their withdrawal. On the more positive front for Tesla, the EPA is expected to propose that EVs become eligible for Renewable Fuel Credits under the Renewable Fuel Standard. This could open up a multi-billion dollar market, representing a substantial tailwind for Tesla, especially when considered alongside the Inflation Reduction Act's incentives. The episode also briefly touches on a minor FSD Beta update, a lowered price target for TSLA from Mizuho, and Ford's continued price increases for the F-150 Lightning, which the host uses to underscore Tesla's pricing flexibility due to its higher margins.
