maybe the left-leaning customer base of tesla does not want to buy more teslas.here are a lot of expectations. the second donald trump administration is good news for tesla. what are some of the policies that are on the table here that would benefit tesla? david: the big one i think is the trumpet ministration priority of setting up a federal framework for autonomous vehicles. what is really pushing this stock to a large degree is the idea that tesla is not just an automaker the way that bmw is -- it is a tech play. you can only do that if you have robots, self driving cars. without a federal framework that enables somebody like tesla put a vehicle on the road with no steering wheel, no brake and accelerator pedals, totally robot driven -- that is not going to happen. the trump administration will make it a priority. the trump administration is camped out at mar-a-lago trying to help write that, i assume. that would certainly help tesla. saying we do not need federal subsidies to sell our ev's -- he is probably right about that. but getting rid of that would help

that's a great thing for tesla. to be, musk and tesla, the biggest winners from the tech world when it comes to trump getting into the white house the second time. to germany now because the number of people out of work in europe's biggest economy continued to rise in december. germany's jobless total is soon expected to hit three million for the first time since the european debt crisis a decade ago. things look bleak on all fronts for the eu's industrial powerhouse. it is facing a snap election next month after the collapse of its ruling coalition amid disagreement over how to handle a host of economic problems. the inauguration of donald trump is set to add to germany's challenges. we spoke to carsten brzeski, a global economist at ing research in frankfurt. he says a weakening labour market is just a symptom of germany's years of economic decline. for the first time i think in 20 years these elections will mainly be decided by the economic platforms. so voters clearly fear that there is more stagnation, more str

what's tesla doing? >> right. of course, as we all -- as you know better than anyone, i mean, musk had said, if you want to own my stock, it's not about how many cars i sell. it's about full self-driving, robotaxi and robotics, is what he has been saying. >> 100%. 100%. it's all autonomous vehicle technology. the robotaxi, the development of that vehicle as they start to roll that out. what does the fleet look like? what is the take rate when they actually start doing that? when do they start doing that, david? they've indicated at 2025 is going to be a huge year for that. let's be clear here. waymo is out with autonomous drive vehicles in a number of markets around the country. not huge numbers but it's growing. and tesla is not even out in the market yet. so, that's going to be a primary focus in '25. in addition to the traditional business. the ev business where lower priced models are the key. and we've said this time and again, guys. when it comes to electric vehicles, you have to get that down lower than whe

costing tesla?it is an aging lineup. it is also that very narrow lineup of evs that tesla produces and sells overall, which it has not produced another mass-market model for several years now. tesla does have a pipeline going forward which is well telegraphed. we have seen the cybertruck, which is a more narrow set of vehicles. but there is expectation that this budget vehicle for $25,000 that tesla has been talking about could arrive in 2025. that could help rejuvenate sales and capture a bigger slice of consumers tesla has yet to reach out to and compete more effectively against challengers of the chinese ev maker's, of which tesla only just retained its crown as the biggest ev seller from byd by 25,000, so the competition is really breathing down its neck. lizzy: we have discussed that rivalry earlier in the week. i wonder whether these results from tesla change the narrative more broadly for ev's? >> i think, for tesla given it had so much to do towards the back end of the year, i don't think it

how is tesla going to navigate them?this is a tricky company and all investors are watching for these earnings. we want to see that there is a commitment to growth and an ability for execution. and we have questions. can the ceo execute on these and do we have a board that will support the growth that we will see? mike: what are you looking for in particular when it comes to the business including self-driving and perhaps some of the other businesses that have emerged for tesla including ai and robotics? kristin: that is a good question because as investors we want to see growth and a plan and guidance. and what we know from the earnings reports from the past is that consistently there will be surprises so we can expect that. we want to see sales growth in their main revenue source. and yet, you are up dropping in popularity. actually worldwide tesla has been dropping in popularity. we have competition coming up with regular automobile makers as well as some of the chinese that are coming in. it is a complicated terrain

that's a very different proposition on the tesla front. >> well, let's. >> talk about tesla and the storye as you said, this is sort of tangential. to the tesla investment case at the moment. there's so much more for tesla investors to think about. talk to us about the share price reaction. it feels as though when you look at the numbers themselves, that's what disappointed the investment community. but then you have elon musk using words like ballistic, that the company is going to go ballistic in the years ahead. and that seemed to be enough to get the stock going again. is there anything actually tangible, though, in what he said that's given investors hope? >> i say this slightly and only slightly tongue in cheek, but it was everything but cars is what the market was focused on. the core business itself did not look great. margin pressure across the board is this price war continues. top and bottom line miss. no new cars, but i'd point out maybe four things. and you've got to remember tesla's investor base is very retail driven, very broad, very focused on the personality of elon musk

so tesla, you have three model.ou have a sedan, you have an sufficient, you have the cybertruck out there. that's fine. you have chinese competition, who has dozens of models, innovates way more than you do, is less expensive in many ways for the consumer, is making in roads all over china, was the star of europe and china, star of the european auto show last fall. i mean, that's a lot of competition to be up against. >> certainly. i think this is why there's such a heavy focus on china for tesla and elon musk personally that focus on the innovation there as the sort of gold standard for how they need to comp globally is really important to musk and to tesla. and i think we're going to continue to see innovation from the company try to meet the pace of what hey see in china, much more so than what they see in the west, which is i think far more challenged from an innovation broadly speaking but also specifically as it relates to full-self driving. >> right. so what's -- are we -- we can't get the compact model at th

tesla's experience is not alone.like volkswagen and mercedes facing weak demand for ev's, and they have had to walk back some of their ev sales goals for the future. this is coming after major european countries like france and germany scaling back or ending ev subsidies this year, so that is taken a hit demand. looking ahead to 2025, tesla is probably helping with the fed cutting interest rates it can spread demand with lower costs and maintaining auto loans, as well as new product cycles with tesla trying to get its robotaxis to market. lizzy: the big question, could byd be tesla and be the world ev champion? >> that is a really good question. we are watching to see how byd performs domestically as well as globally. we all know chinese ev's are facing trade action from key markets such as the eu and us, so we can momentum slowing down for chinese ev exports a could affect out byd's numbers to overall in 2025, and looking at tesla if they could get more products at affordable pricing this year that could possibly li

thanks to their support we were able to extract and sdm i chip from the tesla vehicle, and tesla was able to confirm to us using the data from the vehicle that the vehicle was not a full self-driving mode at any time during this incident. finally, the last category just to touch on his motive, which i know everyone is very eager to try to understand and be able to explain what happened. i will reiterate what the sheriff said is we still have a large volume of data to go through and a lot of content to go through, as you know with any one of our devices, there is thousands if not millions of videos and photos and documents and web history and all of those things that need to be analyzed. but with that, just as a preview for as we get information, we are trying to be as transparent as possible, there were a couple of pieces of content we thought were important to share for now. one was in the note application he seemed to have two letters. one letter in particular, as you can see here, this is an excerpt from that letter. he says, "fellow service members, veterans commit all americans,

but eventually he thinks tesla will be out there too. the question is when and how this will go in texas. texas is a little bit looser when it comes to regulations on things like that, so it gives musk a chance to roll out the cyber taxi service there first. but again, he says the plan is to get here in california by the end of the year. year ago, people were pretty uncomfortable at the thought of riding in one of these autonomous cars, these driverless taxis. but waymo has been around in the city. now they're all over the place. what are people telling you? are they more comfortable with this idea? a lot of them are. you know, we talked to people of all ages, and it's gotten to the point where, especially if you're here in the bay area and in the san francisco area, you see the waymo's rolling around all the time. they've had a pretty good go of it. and so not only is it something you might do on your app, just like you take a lyft or an uber, but i know a lot of people who come to town, and one of the first things they want to do as a

tesla ceo elon musk put out a statement. we have now confirmed the explosion was caused by very large fireworks and/or a bomb carried in the bed of the rented cybertruck and is unrelated to the vehicle itself. musk mentioned that the cybertruck was rented, which police confirm was through the turo app. the same app referred to in new orleans. >> we do know the truck was rented in colorado. we were able to trace that truck through the tesla charging stations, and it arrived here in las vegas this morning at about 7:30. >> kayleigh: at this point we don't know if the two attacks are related, but las vegas police sources tell local fox affiliates that multiple agencies are investigating a possible connection between the cybertruck explosion and the terror attack in new orleans. there's still so much about this story we don't know like who is the driver, why did he detonate a tesla outside of trump's hotel? randy sutton joins me now. i want to start with the turo app. we know it was used in new orleans to rent that truck. we now

that is about a quarter of tesla's entire revenue just from tesla in china. musk is a celebrity there. newspapers document what he eats when he's visiting. here he is reportedly eating at a famous hotpot restaurant in beijing. so the question tonight is, given all the influence that musk has over trump, will trump caved to musk when it comes to china? is this the ultimate test? jeff zeleny is out front, live in washington. and jeff, the inaugural planning thrown off course by the weather tonight. sudden chaotic decision to move it inside. but it's going forward in the rotunda. the vice president of china certainly is going to get an indoor ticket. and this is a very important moment for trump. >> erin, there is no question that scramble tonight is going on because the inaugural for months has been planned to be right here on the west front of the capitol. on monday, there were intended to be hundreds of thousands of people right here on the national mall. now, that will be inside, as you said, for the first time since ronald reagan's second inaugural 40 years

we begin with the tesla and the taxi tonight. the san francisco da is holding off on charges related to a deadly crash that involved a waymo taxi and a tesla car. that decision, based in part on the statement made by a driver involved. he's telling police that the brakes on his tesla just went out. nbc bay area's sergio quintana has new details on that investigation. a devastating scene sunday night after a multi-car crash at harrison and sixth street in san francisco's south of market district. police say it started when a black tesla suv careened into a line of cars waiting at a traffic light. according to the office of the chief medical examiner, 27 year old mikhail romanenko and his dog were killed when that tesla suv crashed into his car. a passenger in his car was also sent to the hospital. today we're learning more about the man killed. he worked at venture capital firm kleiner perkins, where today a colleague tells us they called him misha and shared this statement. misha was a valued team member for his talent, dedicatio

let's talk about tesla. tesla an outlier in a pretty dreadful auto market.druckman says a lot of people would be surprised by what makes a stock go up or down. what makes tesla go up or down because it does not seem to be car sales? dan: we will have deliveries in the next few hours in terms of q4. this is an economist ai story for the next few years. it goes back to the bed for the ages that elon musk made on trump will play out as the eponymous future. that is what you are betting on from tesla. you do not see that in numbers today but ultimately that is worth $1 trillion towards the ai story. the next few hours, this week we will be talking about deliveries. it comes down to china deliveries which were a disaster at points in the last 12 to 18 months have now started to rebound for tesla and that will be important. jonathan: what gives you the confidence that will continue because their similar questions in the luxury space. this china bottoming out for the consumer side of things? it is what we see -- dan: it is what we see in terms of the overall china

police say there is no apparent connection linking the attack in new orleans with the explosion of a teslauck outside the trump international hotel also on new year's day. large parts of the u.k. are preparing for snow and ice as a three-day weather alert comes into force. but first, we begin with breaking news coming out of seoul in south korea. these are life pictures we have coming in from outside the president's residence. what we understand from the local news agency is authorities are en route to the residents to execute an arrest warrant against the countries impeached president. it is a little after 7:00 a.m. in the morning in south korea. authorities said they would act on friday. it is now friday morning in the country to effect this a wretch -- this arrest warrant. what we understand as there are around 100 of his supporters who have gathered outside his residence. we continue to monitor the situation. this comes after the impeached president tried to impose martial law in south korea. that was challenged by massive protests as well as protests in parliament that led to him bein

by the time we get to cash flow break even in our model tesla, tesla will have done that with 23 billion burn. so by the time rivian gets to ten years, they will have burned 23 billion more than tesla at. >> that point. wow. and some have asked, you know, can they go hybrid. try to tap into that market which seems to be more successful in the us. but because you teased it, daniel, i know you don't cover tesla specifically, but i mean, do you think that that is i still don't know how to ask this question the way you can maybe answer it does its market, is its market cap justified, given the opportunity it has vis a vis the rest of its ev competitors right now? >> yeah. so, i mean, what we can definitely say, if you look at that, and that's also the question i asked elon yesterday evening as the first one on the call said, look, you know, what you got to do to kind of justify that high market cap or in his view, even supposedly higher market cap going forward. and he clearly pointed to two things that do not relate to building cars. right? it's fsd, full self-driving, unsupervised, getting

. >> a major tesla. investor is not happy with musk. >> he's my guest. >> let's go out front and good evening, i'm erin burnett. an out front on. >> this monday, the breaking. >> news, the trump purge. president trump firing. >> more than a dozen. justice department officials. >> who. >> worked on. >> the. investigations into. >> trump and his role on january 6th. >> so i'll just show you the termination letter. it's blunt. it leaves no doubt the motivation. it starts. off from. >> the acting attorney general. >> this letter provides official notice. >> you. >> are being removed from your position., effective immediately. the attorney general. >> acting attorney. >> general then continues to write. you played a significant role in prosecuting president trump. given your significant role in prosecuting the president? i do not believe that the leadership of the department can trust you to assist in implementing the president's agenda faithfully. keep in mind the people who were working on this case, as far

tesla and palantir.oaring higher. they are true market darlings, the likes of which i haven't seen in ages. they're the kind of stocks that at one point in my hedge fund career we would buy them, put party hats on, pound the table and chant their names like players on a gridiron. i struggled with these stocks over the weekend in a piece i sent out to investing club members. these are not the kind of stocks we want to own for the trust, i explained that. but palantir and tesla are almost certainly headed higher. that's a great reason to buy if you own a hedge fund, chasing momentum, but not a good reason if you're running a regular portfolio. if you're a hedge fund manager and they keep going higher, you're in fabulous shape. you never had a real reason to own them other than fear of missing out their next moves but we don't play that game with the charitable trust because it's too hard for you to do at home. instead, we have to figure out the company, palantir. this morning, a piece that started from mor

he says tesla will begin robotaxi operations this year. jonathan: tesla up 2.9% in the premarket. up next, the looming tariff deadline. >> i prefer across-the-board. we are treated horribly by the global trading environment and need to be treated with respect and we can use tariffs to create reciprocity. jonathan: that conversation is just around the corner. live from new york city, good morning. ♪ jonathan: if you are just joining us welcome to the program. building on the news overnight that original jet flown by american airlines collided in a deadly midair crash with a military helicopter on the approach into reagan national in washington, d.c. we will have updates on the ground in the nation's capital and there will be a news conference at 7:30 local time, about one hour and 12 minutes from now. plenty of updates throughout the morning and we will bring the news conference to later on. markets look like this. we futures up 14%. -- equity futures up .4%. under surveillance going into the weekend the looming tariff deadline. >> i prefer across-the-board. we are treated horribly

thoughts on tesla? >> i think there's general concern around the demand for evs, which is why we've seen a lot of the heritage u.s. automakers kind of pull back, either do completely away with or push back what they're target dates have been. but i really don't want to con flate the two, between byd and tesla. tesla is compressing margins and driving up sales and pushing out competitors. we're not talking about a state-backed agency, a state-backed enterprise. though, that may be what -- >> there's a joke in there. >> but my point is, i don't think the comparisons should be between the two, and that inform an investor if tesla is worthwhile. they've just pulled back from that unprecedented presidential of, what was it, a 60% run, 40% run since november -- >> 70% run. so, they've given up 20%, 25% of that. i think you have to put that in context before you say tesla is no longer investable. >> clearly, the market wasn't prepared for it, on the back of the selloff, right? so, maybe people were expecting i

a tesla cybertruck that left the driver dead and injuring seven more. officials say in this case no known nexus to isis. morgan, officials briefed a short time ago in this case. what did we learn? >> yeah, lester according to three senior law enforcement officials they are investigating it as potential terrorism. we have seen a massive presence from law enforcement that is secured off of the trump hotel property here off of the las vegas strip. all of this comes as evidence mounts that the tesla cybertruck fire was clearly not an accident. growing questions into the tesla cybertruck turned inferno feet away from the trump international hotel. the stunning scene on the vegas strip the subject of an investigation. law enforcement determining the cybertruck was rented from the same company as the vehicle used in the new orleans attack. >> we are absolutely investigating any connectivity in new orleans and anything around the world. >> reporter: the blaze called in around 8:40 appeared to erupt in seconds. witnesses described hearing a loud noise followed b
