TSLA is his favourite EV stock, which should do well in China. TSLA is now manufacturing in China, and so skirting around import costs and being more competitive. Chinese government could make sure a Chinese company, NIO or another, wins the market.
Peaked in January at about $900, consolidated, and broke out in the last 2 weeks. Be careful. Not unreasonable for a pullback to $1000. If you believe we're in a strong market and want a piece of the leaders, this is one to consider. Volatile, with risks attached.
Tesla was already a market darling, but it became more a star after it reported that deliveries jumped 20% from Q2 to Q3 and soared 70% from a year ago. This is huge as supply constraints hit every industry, including cars. Wall Street loves Tesla. Morgan Stanley, for instance, just boosted its price target to $1,200, citing expanding capacity, lower costs and service offerings. It goes without saying that ESG winds will continue to propel Tesla further. Skeptics point to its PE of 350x and warn of market euphoria, and they have a valid point. Tesla remains a stock for those with strong stomachs.
Even after all these years, Tesla doesn't face much competition. It delivered only 241,000 cars in Q3. Maybe they can sell a million in a year, but that's still a fraction than the other carmakers. And yet their market cap is higher than the entire car industry combined. Undisciplined investors are not bound by the normal rules of investing--and they're thriving. Good for them, he says.

Close your eyes and buy. It can still go more parabolic, but he wouldn't take profits. Compare it to an EV company, they'll say that Tesla has better battery storage, so it's a real EV battery play vs. an EV company. Either way you perceive it, Tesla wins. If they announce another split, people will buy it, even though there's no fundamental reason to buy it. Elon Musk has so many levers to pull, so you can close your eyes and buy it. A huge tailwind are subscription services worth $7,00-10,000; batteries are a small part of revenue now, but it will tick up. Think of Apple's services. Hitting $2,500 in a few quarters? That's a ludicrous speed.
https://www.cnbc.com/2021/10/25/tesla-hertz-ev-deal-signal-to-rental-car-fleets-its-time-for-electric.html It joined the $1-trillion club today. It saw a massive breakout today, despite all the haters, which impacts what people think of the fundamentals. Tesla will definitely contribute to the de-carbonization of the electric grid. He won't short Tesla, but he's very skeptical of this at these levels. We're probably in the last phase of this bull market. The stock will probably go straight up. (Fundamentals don't matter.) This could hit $2,500 in a few quarters, and then he'd sell it.
https://www.cnbc.com/2021/10/25/tesla-hertz-ev-deal-signal-to-rental-car-fleets-its-time-for-electric.html There's been a lot of criticism over the high valuation. The Hertz news is very meaningful to potential future sales and the deal puts EVs on Main Street. It's an extraordinary day, because it puts e-cars into the hands of those who wouldn't have driven a Tesla. The technology and driving experience are extraordinary. It's an important day. 40% move in 25 sessions for Tesla. Ultimately, it could go to $2,500, but not in the next few quarters; shares are way overbought. He doubts it'll fall to $500.
Lots of ups and downs. Biggest concern is high expectations for growth, and what if that growth doesn't come. PEG ratio is high. Prefers the lithium miners or a lithium ETF, such as LIT. Increasing competition. All the major car manufacturers are planning to get into the space in a meaningful way.
TAN: Tesla, Amazon & Netflix Few stocks have been derided like Tesla: Musk is going to jail, it can't make payroll, the cars blow up, etc. but all such claims were bogus. Tesla is an engineering marvel whose time has come. The bears and shorts were wrong.
Stock price is divorced from financial reality. If you buy, you have to assume it will be the dominant player in EVs. That's not reasonable. There used to be only 1 Tesla, but now there's increasing choice. No longer has a competitive, long-term advantage.
Next week is the most important week of earnings season. After hitting new highs this week, there's no room for error. Wait till their conference call and not just look at their headline numbers. Listen to hear how Berlin's doing, the pick-up truck outlook and about the Chinese government. Tesla is well off its highs. They report Monday.
Elon Musk's cyptic Tweet today pressured Bitcoin Musk is brilliant. He himself doesn't see Musk's tweets as criminal, but isn't there a responsibility for people like him in high positions not to do dopey things on Twitter? What does Musk have to gain by doing these things?
