Session 23: FCFE, Dividends and Cash Balances
A
65:01Aswath DamodaranHOST
They paid out about half of this cash as dividends and buybacks.
A
65:06Aswath DamodaranHOST
Eventually, they got bought in one of the most ill-fated mergers of all time, where Daimler bought Chrysler.
A
65:13Aswath DamodaranHOST
And I don't know who thought it was a great idea to take a quintessential German company and buy a quintessential and expect it to work out.
A
65:20Aswath DamodaranHOST
That didn't work out.

I don't know.

It's pretty, well, the PR that came out from Daimler is pretty basic radio.
G
18:25Gavin MyersHOST
I haven't actually looked to see if the NZDF has put anything out about it, to be honest.
G

But they're part of an investment by the government to modernise its logistics and support fleet.
Nissan's Best Cars Almost Killed It? | Alfonso Albaisa • MotoMan Podcast # 035
A
58:19Alfonso AlbaisaGUEST
It was, first of all, our understanding that our capacities were 20%, 30% of a factory, a massive brand-new factory.
A
58:28Alfonso AlbaisaGUEST
Even our Daimler factory, way underutilized, and you're burning money.
A
58:34Alfonso AlbaisaGUEST
And then you can see on Toyota, we have obviously people who are researching that the amount of cars they sell and the amount of factories they have and the capacity per factory, probably 70% or 80%.
A
58:47Alfonso AlbaisaGUEST
And we were in the 20s and 30s and stuff like that.

Do you want a driverless cab like Waymo picking you up, dropping you off with a driver who's monitoring you who may not live in the state, live in this country or may not be monitoring you at all? So, God forbid something happens.
K
32:38KatHOST
And do you want a driverless Daimler truck delivering goods? Because Daimler is doing that right now.
K
32:45KipHOST
I don't think so.
K
32:46KatHOST
Yes, they are.

I mean, I... argued over, and I got a Camry SE, beautiful car for 31, I argued with Toyota to get the price down, right, but here, Solanus is telling the dealers, don't advertise too low a price, you know, we're going to start a price war, a price war and go down, which of course is good for the consumer, but then again, buying a Jeep is not a good for the consumer thing, generally, because they aren't made that well, you know, the last good Jeep was probably, I don't know, 20, 25 years ago, and Fiat took over, Stellantis took over, they went back down the hole, interesting enough when it was Daimler Chrysler the Jeep quality actually started to go up they were having some nice German transmissions in them the quality was better but Daimler lost so much money then they sold it to a guy who was holding company then he made a bunch of money selling it to Fiat and got out of it that guy was really smart but now the quality isn't all that good, so, Stellantis is telling the dealers you can't advertise too low a price, it makes us look bad, they gotta keep the image up you know, well GM is at it again, this time they did something that's common sense because it went against the idea that they came up with in the first place they wanted to get rid of apple carplay and android auto in their vehicles and replace it with their own prerogative software you know so they could steal all the information and sell it to companies and stuff they're all into this you know underhanded taking information from us but they now admitted that they're going to leave the Android Auto and the Apple carplay because guess what people like them they came up with their own stupid system that people even said they didn't like it there were too many screens you had to mess around with people are used to something let's face the facts they don't want it to change something as simple as you finally figured out how to make your phone work on your infotainment system now if you want to go back decades ago decades ago Ford used to give me some cars to drive around they stopped doing it because I was saying bad things about it but for a while they gave me cars so it would take me when they got me a new car sometimes about an hour to figure out how to get my phone to work on the system that Ford had in their infotainment systems.

Even something as simple as putting a CD, because back in those days people had CDs, they had CD players, to make the thing even operate.
Back in 2011, Elon Musk interview at the Clean Tech Summit!!!
E
13:55Elon MuskGUEST
But we managed to get through it narrowly and managed to get some good partners on our side that were really key and certainly immensely grateful to them.
E
14:10Elon MuskGUEST
Daimler being the first.
E
14:11Elon MuskGUEST
Daimler made a key investment in Tesla in early 2009 and also agreed to buy battery packs from us for their electric smart car.
E
14:29Elon MuskGUEST
And that relationship has actually continued to grow with Daimler making some incremental investments into Tesla and then increasing the business as well.
E
14:40Elon MuskGUEST
So now we're doing the battery pack and charger for the Mercedes A-Class.
E
14:45Elon MuskGUEST
And then last year, Toyota invested in Tesla, and we'll be doing the whole powertrain for the electric RAV4, which is coming out in 2012.
E
18:23Elon MuskGUEST
Just as we're very proud of the Apples and Googles and whatnot, Intel, Cisco.
E
18:32Elon MuskGUEST
This is a car company where, for the first time in a long time, the United States is the leader in automotive technology.

How The Original Tesla Roadster Was Almost A Disaster
E
23:54Eric BendlerHOST
It raised so much money for Tesla.
E
23:57Eric BendlerHOST
The Roadster is why Daimler put in $50 million in May of 2009 after we got that funding round that saved the company.
E
24:05Eric BendlerHOST
It supported the $465 million Department of Energy loan that made Model S possible.
E
24:13Eric BendlerHOST
It also gave Tesla a dry run at owning the entire customer service experience from stores to delivery to service to charging on two continents.

E
33:10Eric BendlerHOST
And then later that year, we got the loan of $465 million from the DOE.
