1. 7 Key Investor Questions Focus Ahead Of Tesla Q4 Earnings Release
   Ahead of Tesla’s fourth-quarter earnings report, seven of its most-picked key questions were revealed by investors. The questions are focused on Tesla’s mid- to long-term strategy, including robo-taxi, FSD, Optimus, Cybercap and energy business.
   1) Question of what are the current biggest bottlenecks in the expansion of robo-taxi and the proliferation of unsupervised FSD for personal use. Question of safety and performance, in-vehicle or remote monitoring personnel, or any other structural constraints.
   2) A specific schedule question as to when FSD can reach 100% completely unsupervised stage.
   3) It’s a question of whether long-term Tesla shareholders will still be considered a priority if SpaceX goes ahead with an IPO, as it has previously said, “Loyalty will be rewarded with loyalty.”
   4) It’s a question of when the estimated production schedule for the Cybercap is, whether it’s initially put into the Tesla Robotaxi fleet first or sold directly to the general consumer, and the pace of production expansion.
   5) Regarding Optimus robots, I’m asking how many robots are currently deployed at Tesla’s factory and are actually working on production, what process are they being used in, and how they have affected factory efficiency and production.
   6) A question of when safety personnel will be removed from public road driving in Austin, Texas.
   7) This is the latest SOP plan schedule confirmation request regarding the Houston Tesla Energy Facility, Megablock Production, and Tesla LFP battery cell production.
2. 레 Lemonade Announces 50% Lower Insurance Premiums for Tesla FSD Driving
   U.S. insurer Lemonade has announced it will cut premiums by up to 50% if Tesla vehicles are driving on FSD. The decision is based on results from its own data analysis showing that the incidence of accidents is reduced when using FSD.
   Lemonade emphasized that the vehicle performs 360-degree recognition and responds in milliseconds without drowsiness or distraction, and said it would further cut premiums as FSD’s safety improves.
