2026年3月23日晚点与贾鹏对话里涉及理想/李想部分： 晚点：你在 24 年底开始思考具身智能创业，当时看到了什么信号？ 贾鹏：首先是当时理想在预研的 VLA 模型和已经量产的 "双系统" 表现出色，验证了数据驱动范式。 但对我触动最大的，还是当时特斯拉正在开发的 FSD v14，我又惊喜、又失望。惊喜是，他们的思路 和理想类似，也要把世界模型和 VLA 统一；失望是，理想甚至做得更早，在 24 年就引入了语言能 力和长思维链。 那一刻我看到，自动驾驶的技术方法可能已经走到终局了，无非是数据驱动、一体化模型和堆算力。 我就想，等做完手头的工作就去做新的事。 晚点：没有考虑在理想内部继续做具身吗？李想近期说肯定会做人形机器人，马上会拿出成果，这说 明内部可能已经做了一段时间了。 贾鹏：是，有个小团队已探索了近一年。但我还是想挑战自己的极限，自己做公司。而且具身在理想 是第二曲线，我更希望将所有精力和资源都 all in 具身。 晚点：后来怎么和李想提离职的？他说了什么？ 贾鹏：他说此时此刻做具身创业，问题不大，方向、时间都 OK。他的经验是，行业里第一个做的通 常会死，但最后成功的一定是第一批。 晚点：当你自 ...

Core Viewpoint - Investor Gary Black expressed concerns regarding a potential merger between Tesla and SpaceX, suggesting it could lead to a 20-25% reduction in Tesla's stock value due to dilution effects [1][2].
