    Tesla should drop the Semi as the Cybertruck, and focus on their Model Y platform, offering the Model 2, a Van, and a light duty Pick-up.

      legit, but much of the issue for me is they designs look so bad until you’re behind the wheel I don’t think they can make a car I’d wanna be seen in

    How is it that all these big tech companies which make up so much of the values of the markets are all cutting major amounts of their workforce meanwhile the employment numbers are skyrocketing. Is it all these government jobs? And one has to wonder how productive really are those government jobs.

      1) Tesla is not tech company. Tech companies presume infinite scalability in almost zero time and negligible costs. Take Meta as example. They can add 1M more users in few minutes by instancing several more servers to run their requests. Tesla needs to scale by building more factories and employing more ppl.
      2) Tech companies grew too large due to covid and alot of ppl employed to somehow “patch the numbers” were sub par. Now they are scaling back.
      3) Tech companies employ relatively small number of total ppl.
      4) Its not government jobs. Its services. Services sector got decimated due to covid. They switched professions or “died trying”. As market recovered alot of them decided not to return to a sector that screwed them over HARD few years ago.

    No sensible person wants an electric car. They are a waste of money and resources. And this is a cowardly way to let people go. Fu*k Tesla.

    Though regrettable, the job cuts at Tesla aren’t surprising given cooling (though still arguably robust) adoption of electric vehicles, as well as pricing pressure from rival EV manufacturers, particularly ones based in China. As for Tesla possibly entering the robotaxi market, I think autonomous taxis will eventually become commonplace; however, it probably won’t happen as quickly as many envision. This is for good reason. There have been issues with robotaxis getting into accidents, causing traffic jams and even severely injuring pedestrians. Although the technology is apparently continuously improving, people are understandably wary of these cars being on their city streets. Some have even gone so far as to vandalize them for no apparent reason. And of course, there’s also concern regarding robotaxis displacing human drivers. Given all this, I think it’s natural to wonder why Tesla is possibly entering the robotaxi arena now. I’m not an expert on robotaxis, but the value proposition of automated taxis doesn’t seem particularly compelling to me in light of the reputation risk and capital expenditures involved. Possibly, it’s a question of creating a foothold in the market as a hedge in case usage of robotaxis begins rivaling the use of private automobiles, even electric ones equipped with on-demand autonomous driving. To the extent that there are still untapped economies of scale to building EVs, entering the robotaxi market may help Tesla with this also. From a data and technology perspective, entering the market can’t hurt in terms of collecting data and developing technologies that’ll improve the autonomous capabilities of existing Teslas (the reverse also holds). There are probably many other so-called economies of scope between EVs and robotaxis because the end product (potentially) is precisely the same, with the only real differences being who owns the vehicle, how it’s used and the level of autonomy that it’s granted.

There is no such thing as the perfect pitch. But you can get close by implementing a few research-backed methods to your delivery, deck, and message.

In this episode of Build Mode, host Isabelle Johannesen sits down with Dr. Eike Gerhardt, who has aPhD in pitching and spent nearly a decade studying the science of startup pitching before starting Autopoiesis Sciences. And he’s joined by Demetri Maxim, co-founder and CEO of Nephrogen, who came in second at TechCrunch Startup Battlefield 2025.

Together, they break down Demetri’s actual Startup Battlefield pitch to unpack what worked, what could be improved, and what research tells us about how investors respond to founders. Eike explains why credibility signals matter, how technical founders can simplify without oversimplifying, and why Q&A should be treated as a second pitch. Demetri shares how he learned to explain complex biotech to generalist investors, how redesigning his deck changed his confidence onstage, and what he would do differently today.
They also explore how body language and authenticity affect a pitch, how investor questions can reveal bias, and how founders can use AI to prepare for difficult Q&A.
