Tesla kicks off 2026 with a subtle but profound change: its mission shifts from “sustainable abundance” to “amazing abundance.” In this episode, Demian and Florian unpack what that change really means — not as branding, but as a framework for how Tesla, Elon Musk, and the broader ecosystem are thinking about the future.

They explore how AI, robotics, and autonomy don’t just reduce costs, but fundamentally redefine what is economically possible. From removing mental friction and daily administrative drag, to a world where labor, energy, information, and transport become abundant resources. Step by step, the conversation builds toward the idea of “level 5 abundance”: a phase where projects no longer fail due to labor shortages, capital constraints, or bureaucracy — but simply get executed.

The episode closes by grounding this philosophy in concrete, measurable Tesla milestones: FSD subscribers, Robotaxi miles, Optimus production, CapEx, and AI compute. “Amazing abundance” turns out not to be a vague vision, but a roadmap that can already be tracked today.
