    Its a pretty basic investment case.

    Auto industry is going to go all or majority EV over the next couple of years.

    Tesla is mile, miles ahead of every other "auto maker" (tesla is really a tech company that happens to make cars though), the argument that VW, Ford, Toyota will catch up is hilarious. You can do this research for yourself - just go test drive a Tesla. Eg, Porsche have been working on an EV supercar for years... it comes out.. its slower than a model 3, has less range, and costs about twice as much!

    So therefore, just on their auto products, they will be massive, possibly a trillion dollar revenue company.
    Not to mention their other products and stuff they can do, batteries, the self driving tech - which is all done on data. Nearest competitor has 20 million miles of data for self driving tech... Tesla has 3 billion.

    Easiest case ever to put money in, the potential upside is huge. I went in big at $260, then again when it dropped to $200. Pretty happy right now. Was easy decision after reading Elon's book and seeing the drive and commitment he had to put EVERYTHING into this company, and then test driving one at the same time.

    a l , Well done very interesting story ( book ) and business see Paypal , one thing that I would like to know is how much profit/margin is made per( average ) car so as to judge TSLA's future numbers , I read somewhere that the average BMW produces US $5000.00 profit/margin per car, whether the Republicans or Democrats win in the U S does not seem to matter for the future of TSLA as it has momentum now and its future will only become more dominant.

    .
    Miles ahead in the EV component, yes. Miles ahead in every other aspect? No. Handling, quality of production, interior comfort etc. are all areas where Tesla could and are improving, but these are aspects most consumers will consider along with range and cost.

    What detractors do not understand about Tesla, its all about their technology and in particular its their batteries which gives them their massive edge , with this they are a lighter and more powerful vehicle which no other manufacture can come within a mile of, imo they will be the leader of the pack for many years to come.

    What Im looking forward to is the decision to manufacture of a sports car, hard top and convertible , now this would be a head turner and will imo be the most exciting vehicle release since the Mustang in the mid 1060,s.

    Would you buy this stock now? I think it is hard to justify at this price.

    Its beyond madness now...
    Tesla is really only worth a few hundred dollars...
    Maybe add a few more for Elon Musk, and goodwill but thats it really...

    C C , if you did some research into TSLA you would find that their battery tech for residential use " could " be as big a money earner as the auto use, cars, trucks, pick ups and sports cars etc , not to mention other forms of vehicle transport, I for one will not be selling for a while, ride the trend !

    Just great marketing and presentations but no financials to back it up...
    Accountants and auditors would have an easy job at Tesla , theres nothing to look at
    not to mention the 5/1 split announced today !!
