Tesla is buying Mercedes

who cares at this point

its over anyhow

The entire self driving team of Mercedes based in Sindelfingen is being transferred to Tesla!
Elon basically told us that besides the product line and brand that we are one of the most valuable assets.

Also our electric motor department is working on axial flux brushless technology and battery tech, that too is being relocated to the US and implemented Into Tesla.

This is the reason Elon wants free trade with the EU.

He gave everything for Trump and his entire net worth is tied to Tesla stock so they are using manipulation to crash his stock to make him destitute now Trump is resisting the only move he can and has made to save Tesla and his Net worth.

Mark my words, he will be worth 600 Billion by the end of 2025 and he will be the first trillionaire.

Not to mention we know Tesla is artificially propped up and X doesnt make much money. Buying Merceds is a good idea.

They can't afford mercedes, lmao

doubt. if they had already made that much known internally it would have leaked.
it would be all over the financial news and MB's stock price would be going through the roof.

$52 Bil vs $750 Bil.
Doh kay.

Take your pills schizo. Melon Husk isn't buying shit. You're either are crazy faggot or a faggot with a VPN.

its a publicly traded co, currently valued at 50B EUR. Youd need to offer a premium, or about 75B EUR, to take that private.

tf are jeets doing in switzerland? Why would you guys need uber drivers if you have trains and trams?

Tesla only has 35 billion $ retards, it's public information

Tesla is holding $36.56 billion in CASH, not assets or stock, cash!

The Mercedes-Benz Group AG has a market capitalization of about €47.21 billion.

Fake and gay

yeah, so they can't afford it...

From the lady who cant read. Go home. You are in over your head.

Neither the European, nor the German anti-trust authorities would allow this. Sorry but that's retarded.

That this is even a thread and an argument is fucking retarded

Mercedes has a market capitalization of around 48 Billion euro.

He could pay it with Teslas cash or whats more likely the case use a mix of his private money, Tesla cash and external investors and banks.

Sweet I cant wait for my Mercedes to be made out of plastic and having panels literally glued on.

So keep posting in it Rajesh.

Yeah he could also not do it

Not happening you dumb turd. This is not like buying your groceries. Big buyouts like this need the approval of the authorities. Nobody will allow Melon buy Mercedes-Benz after the shit he pulled off in the USA. This site is 18+., you must be underage not to know at least this much.

You dont get finance, If you have 50% of the cash you got it. He raised the same amount for twitter which is just an app. He also is worth 400 Billion.

You really think this company saving deal in an all or nothing situation will fail because he is 10 Billion short?

Please stop.

companies can sell stocks for money. they can also borrow money. you are still right that it's retarded and not going to happen. but yoyu should know about how companies work too.

what could mercedes offer to tesla on a technological level that couldnt be achieved without them?

I'm not the one arguing they are btw, just offering likely cost. You can part cash, part share swap, as TSLA shares still 15x higher market cap. Like Musk just did with x+xAI merger.
I dont think it will happen either, but it would make sense in a lot of ways desu. Tesla is still a way overvalued accident waiting to happen tho, and no-one really needs Musk as CEO in curent year.

Im working on the Self driving / Mbux implementation team. 100% they are in the process of buying us.

Contracts. Legitimacy. Supply chains. Engineers. Lots basically.

They think the social democratic economics minister who called Musk an oligarch would allow Musk's Tesla to buy out Mercedes.

Yeah, sure thing buddy.

Im working on the Self driving / Mbux implementation team.

So you have no idea about economics, management and anti-trust issues. Stay in your line designing door handles, buddy.

You don't think greasing a few palms would make people rethink their prior stance. Im not saying its gonna happen. But lets stop acting like its impossible. You dont think the big shareholders want a piece of Tesla over the next 20 years?

they just going back to their roots
Elon just needs to organise some prisoner camps now, then Happy Days will roll again.

You understand that German companies have co-determination i.e. 50% of all board members are comprised of worker's union representatives that have to agree to all mergers talks, yes?

companies in a dictatorship have to cooperate with said dictatorship

whoa

We are extremely good at self driving. In some aspects far ahead of Tesla. We don't have our own compute infrastructure like Tesla, not by a long shot but we got extremely solid self driving that extractly fits into Teslas puzzle to solve self driving.

Point? Its all about the money. People like you said the exact same things when Noel said he wanted to buy Twatter.

Dorsey will never sell to Musk

He doesn’t have the money

they gave Adolf dealer discount *before the war*
now if thats not a sign of guilt, idk what is

We are extremely good at self driving.

i thought we were way behind pretty much anyone else in the world, especially the chinese.

curious.

Fuck yeah, I approve of this.. this will be a nice company.

At Twitter the workers of Twitter didn't control 50% of the vote share on Twitter's board.

Its all about the money

Which the worker's of Mercedes are going to lose once there is a merger and make them likely to block the merger. What's your point dumbass.

Ive stated my point you illiterate cunt. I literally said its not likely but possible. You are too butthurt to admit it. Now, I really want this to happen. I will specifically make threads to troll the German Mercedes Cunt.

Im working on self driving lol

Im telling you, Tesla is buying Mercedes. Its as good as done.

How is holding an instrument cluster part proof of what you know?

How is Tesla buying MB political?
Why the fuck should any of us care?

Why are Germs such faggots...

Mercedes started to hire a lot of PHD graduates straight out of university and sponsoring a lot of students during CS Studies if they write their thesis in computer vision and related fields.

Advanced Radar, Lidar, Camera and Laser technology. Also some other methods of sensing that I can't talk about are will be novel to many people not because its newly invented but because it has not been used In this application before and most people out of research haven't heard about it.

Tesla has great computation and can do miracles with cameras.
We got incredible senses and together we can achieve full level 3 self driving and beyond.

You don’t even know Mercedes is at 57 billion market cap. Tesla is currently dropping like a rock. I call it bullshit it’s simply not happening. Beyond that there is very little synergy. Makes no sense.

interesting.

but do you think you can beat the chinese competitors on the EV sector?

lol. Absolute fantasy. Tesla is a major damaged brand. Musk is looking to unload/reorganize, just as he did with the Twitter/X deal with his AI company.

But if we are wild speculating: BYD will buy Tesla at decent stock price … not peak, not now lows, say $300 (we’ll see how desperate it gets) … as a “MERGER” and will negotiate to bring its own vehicles into the US market under the Tesla corporate (and nationally protected) HQ, as well and build some for the US + NA market.

The fact is Tesla doesn’t hold any of the EV cards anymore. Musk is aggressively repositioning to SpaceX, AI, Optimus, etc. he’ll strip off Opmitmus and non-core Car tech (batteries, home) from Tesla, and become a supplier for BYD. He may also try to make an agreement to sole source BYD for the robotaxi scheme.

Tesla as a brand is dead. Everyone is no looking to breakup and salvage / maximize IP and move on.

Musk has extracted, personally, what he could with his exec compensation and needs to unload the stock. He doesn’t care about it anymore at all, expect that this wealth is ties to the share price. He’ll pump and dump, or trade and swap, and Wall Street Jew, with a willing partner.

I won't be buying either of them or an EV... ever. So whatever.

Mercedes pretty much saved Tesla from bankruptcy back in 2009. They were also tied up with BYD, but seem to have extracted themselves from that last year. As said before, cant see it, nor German Govt/Unions being enthused - but it would make sense, on many levels.

No it’s roughly 340 billion

I could see that but with Trumps current tariff stance I dont see it happening soon.

It doesn't matter if the Chinese are good or not. Nobody in his right mind will trust Chinese self driving. That also applies to our regulators.

Thats why Volvo still provides most electronics and mission critical besides the body and frame which comes in parts from china and is but together in europe.

This is the relationship we have for a foreseeable time, it doesnt matter how much hey evolve or innovate we will strip it and provide the mission critical parts from our suppliers.

Chinese self driving in europe will not be a thing.

Teslas camera stuff sucks. LIDAR is vastly superior. Musk called it freaking stupid. And no Mercedes isn’t exceptional with regards to it.

EV sector

Only trannies and libshits care about EVs. Next question.

you are completely delusional. He could barely afford to buy something like twitter again right now much less a company with 263 billion in assets.

but how will you compete with them globally?

you ware aware that the chinese car market is the biggest on the planet and growing.

It would be a pure clown show. The brands simply don’t fit.

Lidar has big problems, it's a different problem set. Vision is many generations ahead of Lidar and even the best Lidar training data does not translate to a usable neural network without having a super computer in your boot to inference it.

He is not wrong.

BYD “merging” with Tesla, and creating a separate US division would bypass the tariffs. All that BYD would need is to make the division 50.1% “American” .. they could import as much as they want, thought 3rd countries, Mexico, whatever.

Does this mean I can soon buy a Cybertruck with the AMG biturbo V8?

Yes sure, you'll get the M177 V8 soon in the Cybertruck Nightpackage I&II AMG edition.

what could mercedes offer to tesla on a technological level that couldnt be achieved without them?

Have you ever owned a Mercedes (by that I mean anything E-klasse or S-klasse)? Their build-quality and engineering is orders of magnitude better than that of any Tesla.

Tesla is good at electric-drivetrain and battery. Everything else about them is barely average.

I think OP is a fag (naturally) and full of shit, but it is an interesting hypothetical idea that has some arguments in favor of it.

LiDAR isn’t used alone, it’s used in combination of visual systems etc and software. Even Musk’s own engineers said getting rid of LiDAR was a mistake. The hardware was actually as part of the full automatic driving package in early(ish) Teslas and Musk didn’t just order Lidar be killed in manufacturing, but also ordered those that did have the hardware get it killed by software updates, so that the engineers didn’t have the data. This all came out in lawsuits when Teslas started crashing. Every single serious Autonomous Driving program in the auto industry includes Lidar, and even Tesla has now backed down and is using it (especially in its robotaxi efforts) after years of failure
