Tesla confirmed a Thursday livestream for its postponed Roadster event, bringing the sports car first shown in 2017 back into focus. TSLA rose 0.4% in overnight trading after a nearly 3% drop to $375.23 on Tuesday. The event was moved from Oct. 1 to Oct. 15 over severe weather forecasts, and Musk later cited high winds as the reason the demo was postponed by 2 weeks. Musk's 'Timing is everything' reply may be a Back to the Future reference, since 7:55 p.m. in 24-hour time is 19:55, echoing 1955. The article also notes Tesla's latest manufacturing update still listed the Roadster in 'Design development' with an undetermined manufacturing location.

- Tesla (TSLA) Reports Earnings Tomorrow: What To Expect
Tesla (NASDAQ: TSLA) will report earnings this Wednesday after the market closes.

This quarter, the market expects revenue to be flat year over year, slowing from the 11.6% increase recorded in the same quarter last year.

- SpaceX Faces Earnings Test Today: RBC Flags Over 50% Upside As Tesla Merger Buzz Builds, S&P Flags AI Financing Risks
Shares of SpaceX (SPCX) slipped 0.4% overnight ahead of its third-quarter results, due after the close on Tuesday, as S&P Global warned of unseen AI-related liabilities. Koyfin expects revenue of $13 billion, EBITDA of $6.62 billion, EBIT of $2.35 billion and adjusted EPS of $0.13. RBC kept an 'Outperform' rating and a $225 price target, implying about 53% upside from the $147.96 level reached on Monday, and said investor interest in a potential Tesla merger is growing. S&P said interconnected financing can obscure obligations and expects Amazon, Microsoft, Alphabet, Oracle, Meta and SpaceX to spend over $7 trillion on AI-related capital expenditure from 2025 to 2030. Google's deal to buy SpaceX computing capacity at $920 million a month can be terminated by either party on 90 days' notice after Dec. 31.
- Top Investor Predicts SpaceX Will Buy Tesla At $420 / Share In Coming Weeks
Gary Black of The Future Fund, a well-known Tesla [TSLA] investor, wrote that the main purpose of the recent Roadster event was to make the case for a SPCX-TSLA merger. He predicted an announcement within weeks in which SpaceX (SPCX) would buy Tesla (TSLA) for $420 per share in SPCX stock, with the deal possibly taking a year to close. Barclays analysts said a merger could be announced ahead of Tesla’s annual general meeting, and Walter Isaacson, who wrote Musk’s biography, said he expects the two companies will eventually merge. The article also asks what the strategic rationale would be, since neither company clearly faces financial distress.
- Tesla Stock At $4,400? Cathie Wood's ARK Pins Hopes On Robotaxis, Sees SpaceX Merger In 5 Years
Cathie Wood's ARK Investment Management projects Tesla's share price could reach $4,400 by 2031, implying about 1,095% upside from current levels, with robotaxis accounting for about 80% of projected enterprise value. Its base case assumes roughly 8.1 million cumulative robotaxis and 1 million external Optimus units by 2031, along with nearly $1.45 trillion in revenue and a $17.5 trillion market cap. ARK sees a SpaceX-Tesla merger possibly within five years, which could generate $3.8 trillion in combined revenue by 2031, though Gary Black of Future Fund warns an all-stock deal could dilute gains for Tesla shareholders. Tesla reports its robotaxi service has expanded to seven U.S. cities and it has nearly 1.5 million paid FSD customers, with Q3 results due after the market closes Wednesday. Morningstar expects free cash flow to be negative for a second straight quarter due to heavy capital spending.

- Bitcoin ETFs just saw their biggest day in a month thanks entirely to BlackRock
U.S. spot bitcoin ETFs took in $526.6 million on Monday, the largest daily net inflow in nearly a month, driven entirely by BlackRock's iShares Bitcoin Trust (IBIT), which pulled in $665.2 million, its biggest daily inflow since Oct. 7 last year, according to SoSoValue data. Fidelity's FBTC lost $83.6 million and Grayscale's GBTC shed $54.9 million, while the remaining funds recorded no net flows. The inflow more than erased last week's $228.5 million of withdrawals, but funds remain about $90.5 million in net outflows for October, according to CoinDesk calculations. Ether funds moved the opposite way, losing $103.3 million in their fourth consecutive session of outflows, with BlackRock's ETHA accounting for $95.4 million of that.
- A Big4 bank cut deposit rates in the morning, then raised them again in the afternoon
VietinBank cut its deposit rates for terms of 6 months and longer on the morning of Oct. 20, then restored them to pre-adjustment levels by the afternoon. Its afternoon rate board showed 3.5% per year for 6 to under 12 months, 5.9% for 12 to under 24 months and 6% for 24 months and longer, versus 3%, 5.4% and 5.5% in the morning. Rates for terms under 6 months stayed unchanged, including 2.1% for 1 to under 3 months and 2.4% for 3 to under 6 months. The move came as banks followed the State Bank of Vietnam's guidance to cut deposit rates by at least 0.5 percentage points for terms of 6 months and longer, and Vietcombank and Agribank were among those reducing rates.
- IVV vs. SPY: Which S&P 500 ETF Is the Better Buy for Long-Term Investors?
The article compares two ETFs that track the S&P 500, iShares Core S&P 500 ETF (IVV) and State Street SPDR S&P 500 ETF (SPY), which have nearly identical holdings. The main difference is the expense ratio: IVV charges 0.03% a year, one-third of SPY's 0.09%, and its distribution yield is about 1.1% versus 1% for SPY. SPY's high liquidity remains valuable for active traders. The article concludes that IVV is the better choice for long-term investors, since lower costs can compound over time.
- Warren Buffett Is Issuing a Stark Warning About the Stock Market. Here's What History Says Comes Next.
Warren Buffett has warned that investors are taking on too much risk, likening the market to 'a church with a casino attached' and saying people have never been in a more gambling mood. The article points to the S&P 500 Shiller CAPE Ratio, which has stayed above 40 since May of this year; historically, the only other time it held above that level for months was during the dot-com bubble, when it peaked around 44 before the bear market began in March 2000. The article notes that 40 is not an automatic trigger for a downturn, and no metric can predict timing. It suggests investors focus on quality stocks with solid fundamentals and be ready to hold them for at least a few years.
- Early Uber Investor Jason Calacanis Predicts Waymo Could Buy Lucid Or Rivian — Calls Its Chinese-Car Optics ‘Really Bad’
Early Uber investor Jason Calacanis predicts Waymo will buy Lucid Group (LCID) or Rivian Automotive (RIVN), arguing that its reliance on Chinese-made Zeekr vehicles creates cost and reputational problems. He says the arrangement is technically not illegal today, but Waymo would need to pay a tariff of over 100%, and it has drawn national-security concerns on Capitol Hill. According to Semafor, Waymo aims to grow its fleet from about 4,000 vehicles to 8,000 by the end of 2026 and 20,000 by the end of 2027, after closing a $5 billion term loan and a $16 billion equity raise this year. Uber has committed to buying at least 35,000 Lucid vehicles, while its Rivian deal starts with 10,000 autonomous R2 SUVs, with rides expected to begin in 2028. Calacanis, who recently bought small stakes in Lucid, Rivian, WeRide (WRD) and Pony.ai (PONY), expects consolidation in the autonomous-driving sector within 24 months.
