Up 40% in August
Up 160% Since May 1st
Up 390% Since start of year
Market cap of 360B is almost that of every car Manufacturer in the World.
Love to hear thesis on buying stock w/ belief it can grow into valuation. They would have to literally sell every car made in the next 5-10 years.

It makes no sense to me. I've thought about shorting the stock, but it just keeps going up. Their tech is good, but in 10 years I would much rather own whichever company has the best autonomous vehicle, and I don't think it will be Tesla.

Investors see Tesla as more than just an auto manufacturer.

This - if you want to try and make a proper valuation (you can't, really), you need to measure them based on battery tech, artificial intelligence, EV market share, and economic moats for new entrants for all of these.greenblood said:Investors see Tesla as more than just an auto manufacturer.
Equity investing is also shifting to a more individual paradigm thanks to yolo apps like robinhood and webull. More individuals are investing in "hot" names they know like Tesla, Apple, Rocket, etc., which just sends prices even higher. Add a split where people get absurd fomo and prices moon...next week should be no different barring some massive institutional sell offs. -

I understand, but I still think its a bad, or at least shockingly risky, investment.Sources said:

Their battery tech has tangible, enduring value, but their AI product is probably 4th best right now, and IMO once Waymo or Uber wins the self driving car race, the auto OEMs lose most of their their power.
If you buy Tesla, I believe you're buying, at its core, a top notch battery company with some nice automotive patents and a quaint little manufacturing business (compared to the other OEMs at least).
If it was public, I would personally be loading up on Waymo, which at its last valuation was at 1/12th Tesla's market cap.
I like the different opinions though, so if someone is bullish on Tesla, I'd love to hear your rationale. -
If your bullish on Tesla for fundamental reasons, your belief is every car (and semi/long haul trucks delivering product) will be using your batteries/technology and/or those batteries will be able to store energy (from solar or elsewhere) to power your house.Woof said:

Google owns the controlling interest in Waymo. I'm hearing Google has the best AI pipeline, as well. Both divisions are currently a cash drain on the company. If either hit, Google wins big.Woof said:

Yep. It's a division of Alphabet, but they've been raising venture funds as well. I'm not 100% sure what kind of structure it is.Baseman said:

I've been convinced for some time that self-driving cars is the next massive paradigm shift that will change our society. Instead of owning high-cost, low-utilized assets (cars), we'll just summon one to our houses. You'll subscribe to a car rather than buy it. No need for the volume of parking. No need to pay for insurance anymore. Speed limits can go higher, safely. Commuting an hour in a self driving vehicle is way more appealing than taking on gridlock, so it will further change the composition of cities. Hell, half of us will be telecommuting anyway. There's a ton of knock on effects that will take decades to play out, but whoever wins the race is going to be minting money. -

Tesla will pop...no clue when and my worry is that it will bring a big correction to the rest of the market when it does. People keep losing serious $$$ shorting it though...
NIO is an absolute shit company, but it has the backing/funding of the Chinese govt and China will never let a non-Chinese company (Tesla) be the lead company in the EV market internally. Add to that the govt is mandating the transition of cars there to EV so its a guaranteed market. I hate owning it but I do... -
Tesla to me is Apple and Amazon 15 years ago.
Their vision of being way more than they are assumed to be plus an ability to connect to consumers with a brand message that develops a cultish core, plus an egomaniacal leader puts their potential in the stratosphere. -
Problem I see with that is they haven’t set up an ecosystem that locks customers in the way Apple/Google/Amazon etc have, and I don’t see how they get there. Their sales are shrinking in Europe where EVs are taking off, there is no chance they will be the #1 guy in China because they aren’t Chinese, and even their US sales haven’t been great.whlinder said:Tesla to me is Apple and Amazon 15 years ago.

They are treated as a high growth company without the actual growth, and I don’t see how that doesn’t eventually catch up with them. -
Why I hate NIO...and I still own it because China will make sure it or another Chinese company will lead the China EV market.HoustonHusky said:Tesla will pop...no clue when and my worry is that it will bring a big correction to the rest of the market when it does.

TSLA (currently $338) 50 day moving average is ~$330...for the TSLA bulls it should hopefully bounce off of that and back up. If it pushes below that and it could really get ugly...

Not a chart worshiper, but would like to point out TSLA dropped to $330.02 before bouncing up...trading at $359 currently...HoustonHusky said:TSLA (currently $338) 50 day moving average is ~$330...for the TSLA bulls it should hopefully bounce off of that and back up.
