We have to at least touch on this because car dealers, their associations and their donors are flat out lying. On Tuesday, Rhonda Sandis just signed off on a bill prohibiting car manufacturers from using the direct sales model in Florida. This would of course prevent most automakers from selling directly to the consumer. This is supposed to start on July 1st. Other provisions in the law limit the influence car manufacturers can exert over retailer inventories and prices while protecting dealers rights to ignore MSRP's and choose their own model mix. And no surprise, the FATA was heavily involved in writing and pushing the legislation through the state government. Luckily, there's a carve out and an exception in this bill that allows Tesla and the likes of Rivian, Lucid and Polestar to continue using a direct sales model.
We really do need to tip our hats to people like Taylor Beal and Jeff Sharkey who are part of the Capital Alliance group that were actually instrumental in hammering out a deal adding language in this bill that would keep Tesla galleries open. But the legacy OEMs, GM Ford, Honda and Toyota, not so fortunate with the signing of this bill. This part of the bill feels directly aimed at Ford refusing to provide a dealer with a supply of new vehicles by model, mix or color equitable to that of other dealers is forbidden.
So car manufacturers like Ford can't really choose what dealers get certain EVs and others don't. Arguably, more importantly, this bill actually forbids companies like Ford from setting required MSRP prices for the dealers, which just means the horrible negotiating process at traditional car dealers will continue in Florida. Here's where the nonsense and ultimately lying comes into play. This lobbyist for FATA said the attempt by auto manufacturers to cut out the dealer would only result in higher prices and less customer service to the public. The new car dealer is the customer's advocate when it comes to warranty work and service on a manufacturer's product and this bill will protect that.
To point one, this is just false. Cutting out the traditional dealer model actually saves consumers thousands of dollars by removing the middleman and all of that extra overhead and profit grabbing. And the translation of point two, we want to be the only place where customers can have their service done because that's where we make all of our money. Don't forget, the best service is no service.
So yes, Tesla is fine here and this bill will actually serve as a competitive advantage for Tesla because this will of course hurt the consumers of the traditional auto companies in Florida by handcuffing them to the dealership model. We got new comments from York Steinbach and some other officials in Grunhaida talking about the Tesla Gigafactory, basically putting to bed all of the FUD narrative that have continually been talked about. They said Elon remains a close observer of what is happening at the plant. This is certainly unusual.
At Tesla, there's a startup management style where nothing works without the boss. We learn more about the Tesla speed that we oftentimes hear about. It really has to do with Tesla actually beginning construction before they got the permits, which was very unique in the area. Pause if you'd like, but in response to some of the pollution instances that happened at Gigabirlin, they said demonstrably, none of those endangered people or the environment basically saying they were blown out of proportion. Here they said Tesla's been holding information events and doing guided tours, essentially really overhauling their communication strategy with the public in Berlin and a lot has improved on this front. They continued to claim that Tesla uses too much water, has not been proven, Tesla does not currently need the requested and approved amounts of water.
So just a few tidbits, but these German officials clearly defending Tesla and speaking very highly of them. No shade here, two Danives, I just think it's a little funny, he said, they think what's changed with Tesla stock in Wall Street is the recognition with the Ford NGM announcements that Tesla's sum of the parts valuation is now finally starting to get tapped into. To which I said and I'm sure many of you would agree, it's about time.
I just wanted to use that as a segue to yet another Morgan Stanley New Tesla stock note, just pointing out the slow, slow rate of understanding from some on Wall Street. They say, today's gas stations pay a market price for their petroleum supply. What if Tesla made its own electricity at a near zero marginal cost and a stable cost stored on site with stationary batteries? It's not hard to see the logic of achieving dominance in the filling station of the future. What we have there is Wall Street just waking up to the reality of the Tesla supercharger network, something we really could have seen coming dating back to 2012 when the first superchargers were installed. And in fairness, megapack and solar are in very different places now, but that's always been the plan producing low cost energy via renewable energy at these locations. We won't dive into this so pause if you'd like, but Jonas walked through a few different scenarios for the supercharging model. Just FYI, no-pat is net operating profit after tax.
Just one, for example, we're using 20 30 miles traveled only in the United States. If you look at the dominant case, that would assume a 30% EV mile penetration in 2030, Tesla having 80% of the supercharging revenue and a 70% of the net operating profit after tax margin. How would the margin be so high? Megapack and solar. And this dominant case scenario would give Tesla a potential net present value of $33 per share.
I think many of you hear the words surf shark VPN today's sponsor and just think safely surfing the web from home, a coffee shop, a hotel or airport. Maybe some of you know you can use it to spoof your location to watch blacked out sporting events or other blocked content. Maybe you've heard if you use your credit or debit cards online or do any online banking that having a VPN like surf shark is absolutely worth the cost for protection against hackers, malware and spyware. Matt Ferrell got me on surf shark years ago and I just thought to myself, I don't want to be the guy that has his identity compromised or his data hacked and tracked because I chose to be cheap and expose myself to unnecessary risks when the technology is here to prevent it.

According to our of Elon Musk continues this time in Italy, Elon had a half hour interview with the deputy prime minister Antonio Tijani and then in the afternoon he returned to the palaces of the Italian power to meet Georgia Maloney. Georgia Maloney is the prime minister of Italy. She just tweeted, I welcomed Elon with great pleasure, a very fruitful meeting and a moment of great cordiality where we address some crucial issues, innovation opportunities and risks of AI, European market rules and birth rates, forward towards the future challenges that unite us. Heard the usual it sounds like they're talking about a little bit of everything and we don't get a ton of detail so we'll see what comes of it but every time I see Elon all over the world constantly in different meetings and I stop and think about what he's doing, that's beyond words.
And remember Elon speaks tomorrow Friday at Viva Tech over in France. Last night Tesla was tweeting about the backup switch for the Tesla power wall, just want to make it clear this isn't new, this has been around now for a few years but there is some news going on. Drew Baglino said thanks in advance to other utility companies currently working to approve the Tesla backup switch in their territories. Basically this is something that drastically reduces the installation time for the Tesla power wall.
I will have this blog post below but in short this feature quickly and safely disconnects your home from the grid when a power outage is detected, it automatically shifts your home's energy use to backup power from your power wall. Tesla's backup switch which is placed right here actually replaces the Tesla gateway that was in innovation in its own right and I just have to point out what is this little ditty over here. Tesla bike foreshadowing?
Here's the actual backup switch, it's a meter socket adapter that provides the metering and the automatic grid disconnect functionality of the Tesla energy gateway. So as this feature is continually approved by the utilities in the United States, this will of course be great for the end consumer and Tesla with those shorter installation times. Along those lines, Drew also said that Tesla is working on a VPP program for this summer for customers in Puerto Rico.
Drive Tesla Canada reporting and showing us that Tesla's new service and delivery center in Vancouver, British Columbia is very close to opening. There was some confusion on this so to clarify that the chargers at this site will be only for Tesla not open to the public. If you're in North America and planning to buy a Model 3 for the next two weeks or so, you can get three months of free supercharging.
Drive Tesla Canada报道并向我们展示了特斯拉在不列颠哥伦比亚省温哥华的新服务及交付中心即将开放。有些人混淆了事情的真相,所以需要澄清的是,这个地方的充电器只对特斯拉车开放,不对公众开放。如果你在北美地区计划在未来两周内购买Model 3,你可以享受三个月的免费超级充电。
We got a new press release from JD Power, won't spend much time here but there is something worth highlighting. Based on this year's EV consideration study, the percentage of shoppers who say they are overall likely to purchase any of the has increased 261% from 59% last year. But here's the takeaway, even if we disagree, this just is the sentiment of the general public.
The biggest friction point for consideration is the availability of public charging. A resounding effort to build out and improve the public charging infrastructure will emphatically increase the EV purchase consideration. Nearly half of the shoppers rejecting the idea of buying an electric car, say the primary reason is a lack of charging station availability. Which obviously just adds even more weight to the recent announcements from Ford, GM, and all of the other companies talking about the NAC standard, hopefully this wave going forward will roll out quickly.
Here's a quick check in to Tesla scope, just looking at Tesla's FSD beta tracking. If you look at these countries over here, you can see that the testing in employee vehicles is clearly rolling out across Europe and other locations. It's exciting because this is the very beginning of what's eventually going to be a massive paradigm shift for transportation globally.
Gigabrelin is planning to hire fewer temporary workers and it will frame from Saturday shifts, but they said it's still on track to achieve its production targets. So less workers, presumably less expensive, and hopefully the same or more production. Be careful with this one, it was from Business Insider, but they said Tesla's goal of 6000 cars per week at the plant is currently on hold.
That could mean 100 different things though, so personally I'm kind of throwing that one away. There could also be endless reasons for this, so I'm just not going to speculate. Speaking of Wall Street analysts waking up to the story years late, RBC Capital just said now, we believe Robotaxes could potentially transform society more than anything else in our lifetimes.
They could save millions of lives and trillions of hours. We believe this fact alone should motivate regulators to support their development as we anticipate private cars being banned in many cities around the world. It's coming.
The Tesla wall connector is now $475 up $50. Here we have Rivian looking to take a page out of Nio's book, planning a collection of retail and experiential centers coming to key locations across Canada and the United States. The first space is set to open in New York City tomorrow, Friday the 16th. Visitors will be able to drive Rivian vehicles, speak with experienced specialists, and shop Rivian gear.
We have a new patent filed by Ford for an electrified vehicle battery backup system, including a traction battery pack on an EV, and a backup battery assembly that's removably mounted to the electric vehicle. In layman's terms, a backup battery mounted to the roof of an EV.
