$TSLA up 5%+ while Powell basically threatened rate hikes. That's not how this is supposed to work.
Higher rates kill duration plays. Gold dumped. Bonds dumped. Utilities dumped. AAPL, AMZN, GOOGL all red.
Yet Tesla ripped.
Why? Because the market stopped pricing it as a vague promise and started pricing it as a product with a launch date. Cybercab isn't theoretical anymore.
Tesla's down ~18% YTD for being a story. Today it traded like a catalyst.
September matters: Cybercab rollout + Fed decision. If the product delivers and rates pause, this setup gets interesting.
