A Randon Video on Tesla and it's recent updates, I think there is a mismatch of expertise. Financial Analysts are not the most qualified to assess Tesla. When it comes to how much Tesla is worth, let's not listen to the wrong people.

tesla didn't MAKE 13b, its valuation rose by 13b. huge difference. Smash that dislike button to show that this clickbait behavior is unacceptable

Something else happened during this period, investors realised that although electric cars are picking up fast, there is a big shortage of batteries. Samsung, LG, Panasonic don't have enough capacity to supply the demands brought on by Audi, Jaguar, Benz etc...put simply there won't be enough batteries to make the electric cars the world needs for another 5 to 10 years.

Only one company has invested enough to get an adequate supply of batteries for their cars....Tesla

This means by the time other manufacturers can compete it will be 5 to 10 years down the line. Imagine that, 5 years of near zero competition (cue in evil laugh)

Teslas valuation is now higher than BMW. This is wild!

Tesla *shareholders* made 13 billion. The company itself didn't get any money. None of the money was invested in capital

Honestly I doubt Apple will actually be a player in any new markets. Sure they have the funds, but have consistaly struggled with keeping any project that isn't MacBooks, iPhones, or closely tied to iPhones supported. Their Mac Desktop PC's rarely get updates. Apple TV cannot really be considered a player. They've killed their router. HomePod's kind of a flop. Apple just can't produce enough internal interest to be a player in any new markets.

One of the most intelligent analyses of the "Tesla Story" I have ever watched. Superb video, thought-provoking and brilliantly presented in just a few short minutes. Great stuff - and thanks for sharing your brilliant insights.

"A random video on Tesla and its recent updates" Well, it is also an excellent analysis on what happened to Tesla. The fact of analyzing what build the company and what they are investing into is a great way of explaining what happened to them. Great stuff Lei, you're a smart buddy :)

Exactly, if you compare Tesla's numbers to other car companies it looks overvalued, but Tesla is so much further ahead technology wise that it will crush the other car makers. And a correction: Tesla didn't make $13 billion from its stock going up, Tesla gets nothing from having a high stock price unless they issue new shares, which they wont. And shareholders get nothing from the price increase unless they sell their shares. I think most people are long Tesla and just holding, while the day traders are making the stock price fluctuate. I think a better title and approach to the video would be to tell the story of how Tesla is winning the battle with the short sellers FUD.

Tesla did not 'make' 13 billion. That was an increase in the value of the companies shares. The recent rise is largely a readjustment after the crash resulting from the SEC issue. This resulted in its shares being seriously undervalued when the negative view of the shortens gained some sway. The fact is that, apart from Chinese manufacturers meeting their own market, Tesla is the primary electric car manufacturer in the west, and has the capability of maintains that if it can ramp up production and set up secondary manufacturing plants in China ( in hand) and Europe. The pressure to show a profit, rather than develop greater capacity will hamper this growth.

Even after buying Tesla shares i was so dubious about them. I felt it was a dice roll. However i am quite pleased now and glad i got in "early". And ive never bought Amazon and, although i understand why people have bought them, i still wouldnt touch them. For me Tesla is another Amazon, except its proven itself and Amazon hasnt.

Keep up the good work, mate. Quality analysis, commentary, delivery, length, engagement, the whole works.

Been watching your videos since the beginning of this year, your vidoes just keep on getting better, keep it up👌

[brad]

He's amazing! Smoked pot on TV, made his share price drop then buys up his own shares!

[GeorgeVajagich]

Tesla didn't actually make that much money it is just a volatile stock

[rokadamlje]

Tesla didnt make 13 billion, they recovered from the low. Tgey were at 380 at some point.

[soundstorm]

A little naïve I would say. Think about the propaganda supported by big oil. Also consider the affect of advertisement revenue. Tesla does not use oil and does not advertise. It shouldn't be hard to imagine the so called experts whos publications are supported by ad dollars predicting they will fail and trying to help out short sellers. Big oil and the auto industry help support the media and they get something out of that which is not straight forward as someone buying their product. I can't remember ever buying a product because it was advertised. I see ads for Boeing and not sure I could afford one even if the commercial was effective.
