BTW, it seems the poor performance of the markets down to concerns about inflation from the COVID situation.
Every car manufacturer is producing EVs. They will only get better, with similar range to Tesla.It's a fair comparison in the sense it was superior tech that was dismissed widely.
What deadline is it that musk has set for FSD and not delivered on? Yes he has ran his mouth in the past and learnt a lesson from it. Great minds learn from their mistakes, thats a key part of any journey. Cars are driving themselves under supervision now, as I type this. Which other automaker is competing on this front?
You really think Tesla has got to where it is off the back of one man? Thats laughable. He is a visionary but has an incredible team around him, from the factory floor to the boardroom.
I don't really understand the dissent and disdain towards Musk and Tesla. They had the balls to force the EV future when traditional auto and oil companies would have happily destroyed our planet. This isn't winner takes all. Ford, BMW, VW, Toyota all need to do their bit and get their ICE cars off the road for good. Tesla have done the unthinkable and created a near trillion dollar company from nothing in just over a decade. Big industry wanted them to fail and did their upmost to see them fail.
If we successfully transition to EVs in the next decade we have given ourselves a real shot at reversing the current climate crisis. Tesla are significantly ahead in my opinion and yes, I've test driven a model 3 multiple times and will purchase when my current contract ends. It's the best car I've ever driven. But this isn't winner takes all. I see a lot of people agreeing that EVs will be the future but no one talking about investing capital with anyone else.
Do you think there is a huge opportunity to back EV stocks?
If yes, who do you invest with?

Car manufacturers are producing EVs but they are far from competing with Tesla. The manufacturer is still bogged down in their OEM acquisition and assembly production and will not be able to push costs down in the same way. Their cars are substantial more expensive to build and deliver. Traditional auto also has no hope of developing autonomous software. Waymo may align with say a VW or someone to solve this problem but this only makes two players in the market place. It is NOT winner takes all.
What exactly was “sieve” like about her analysis? Had anyone bought when she predicted $7000 a share you’d have made a phenomenal return. You want to bet against her again? Besides, this woman and her investment firm are not playing to the usual Wall Street and financial institution fiddle. Hardly surprising that people are poking fun at her.
Tesla are at the forefront of EVs, Transportation, AI & Energy Storage. If this isn’t in your portfolio then I’d love to know what picks are as these clear are going to be huge growth areas.
They have tested a couple of times, but ultimately at this time he knows it's his massive "edge" in selling cars, especially in the UK.Tesla are looking to open their supercharger network. It was leaked out from Elon's recent worldwide conference call.
Ridiculous that we have learnt nothing from USB/lightning shenanigans with mobile phones. There should be a universally agreed charging standard.
Nice resurgence on Tesla today. I'm desperate to load up on some other stocks but I'm trying to invest in my business at the moment. Feeling quite torn.

He won't be giving anything away for now to the competition. It's funny, but at the same time sad, when you see an I-Pace trying to plug into a Supercharger.....Had to tell someone they won't get a charge from Tesla Supercharger. Disappointingly - They had been told my the Jag sale guy they could use them.....
HAD. They use CCS for Europe now and you can buy an adaptor for any of the older cars.Its already like that Type 2 & CCS (tesla are different but they have their own standard)
Obviously miss the Uber drivers favourite, priusHa yes that makes more sense. We have few Teslas around here (East London) - quite a few Nissans (cars and vans) and BMWs as you say. The odd VW.
The above registrations does show how far Tesla has to go for wider adoption.
Good for vertical integration but will soon be overtake now other companies are partnering with existing suppliers and have cross brand compatibilityIt's like Mercedes owning its own petrol stations. Got to give it to Tesla, very smart to build the supercharger network early on.
VW group have only started mass production with ID3 and ID4 platform. Already selling it to other manufacturers as well.The language in that article clearly is aimed at undermining Tesla. Market share “crumbling” lol! Sponsored ads picking holes in Tesla like it’s a winner takes all game. Billions of EVs will need to be made to replace ICE vehicles ruining the environment.
Take a 30min drive and take note of what EVs you see. Any VWs? I certainly don’t. Plenty of Tesla’s though.
Tech dominates the global landscape. Traditional autos simply cannot compete longterm. Especially when the near future is autonomous and subscription based.

Have you noticed that most funds that are performing (looking at YTD figures) are only delivering 5 - 10% so far? Appreciate that this would look like 20 - 40% if they follow the same trajectory over 12 months, but there is nothing really head and shoulders above the rest.There are a few UK funds that are still delivering growth such as:
Aviva Investors UK Smaller Companies Fund 2 GBP Acc
Why does that matter though?The goal is to accelerate transition to fossil fuels. More competitors the better. The market is huge.
Other manufacturers still rely heavily on suppliers, no hint of vertical integration to reduce costs. Do they use giga presses? Make their own alloys?
