Morgan Stanley Sees $17 Billion Tesla Semi Software Opportunity by 2040
Morgan Stanley analyst Andrew Percoco estimates autonomous Tesla Semis could generate roughly $17 billion in annual software revenue by 2040, a scenario that assumes about 82,000 Semis operating by then and a 13.5% share of the autonomous trucking market. At that scale, the firm estimates Semi software could produce about $7.5 billion in EBIT, roughly 10% upside to its base case. Percoco estimates Tesla could charge roughly $0.85 to $1 per mile for autonomous Semi software, which at about 18,000 miles a month works out to approximately $12,000 to $18,000 in monthly software revenue per vehicle, far above the roughly $100 per month Tesla charges consumers for Full Self-Driving. Morgan Stanley views its 82,000-vehicle assumption as relatively modest against Tesla's manufacturing ambitions, with the company's 1.8 million-square-foot Semi factory in Sparks, Nevada, designed to eventually produce about 50,000 trucks annually. Early Semi customers include PepsiCo, DHL and US Foods, while a recently announced shipper coalition has ordered 2,500 trucks; the $17 billion estimate covers software rather than Semi vehicle sales and excludes potential additional revenue from charging.

Ride-share hailing begins at Kaga post office counters on October 7, with Uber among operators
Uber Japan, Japan Post, and the city of Kaga in Ishikawa Prefecture announced on the 29th that ride-share dispatching will be available at post office counters in the city, allowing ordinary drivers to pick up and drop off passengers. The service will cover all 15 post offices in Kaga and begins on October 7. Users ask a clerk at the counter to arrange a ride and pay the fare in cash. Because staff handle the request directly, the service can be used without a smartphone app. The city has operated a ride-share service using Uber's app since March 2024, but the hurdle was high for elderly residents unfamiliar with smartphone apps. Securing transportation in rural areas has become a challenge amid the elimination of local bus routes, and Masaki Nomura, head of Japan Post's Regional Co-Creation Business Division, said at a news conference on the 29th that the service will become a new gateway for regional transportation.
