And specifically looking at the present and the current time, 2013 can indeed be regarded as the first extremely special year for Tesla.
Putting aside the conceptual things that have begun to happen in the electric vehicle industry, Tesla, which has been established for ten years, finally achieved its first profit in the first quarter of this year.
Therefore, shortly after the report, with the support of investors, the market value exceeded 10 billion US dollars, rising by up to 80% in a single month.
On May 9, after announcing his first profit in the first quarter, Elon posted a message on social networks to thank customers and investors.
He stated:
"I just want to say thank you to our customers and investors. You have given Tesla a chance to go through a long night. Without you, we would not be where we are today."
Since then, Tesla has become one of the annual darlings of the U.S. stock market.
Um……
It is necessary to note that as of the end of November, Tesla has qualified to become one of the annual monster stocks in the US stock market in 2013.
Yes, monster stock!
The amplitude of the stock price is so large that only exotic financial products like Bitcoin can compare.
From the lowest point of US$35 per share at the beginning of the year to the highest point of US$194 on September 30, it has increased almost six times.
Coincidentally, on the 20th of last week, the stock price fell back to its lowest point of $120.
Although the clean energy and green environmental protection represented by Tesla this year have become one of the hottest investment themes on Wall Street, and Wall Street has always favored companies and individuals like Elon who can tell stories, Elon still needs more...
…
He needs to ensure that the electric vehicle track where Tesla cars are located is taken more seriously by the capital market and taken seriously by the authorities to gain more support.
High stock prices are the best form of expression.
After the stock price continued to fall to lows again, Tesla was actually picked up by Bolang International Investment Bank, an investment bank with the most public opinion on Wall Street at the moment. Elon had no reason to refuse to cooperate from afar, and everyone got what they needed.
Anyway, this kind of cooperation does not require communication or words.
After Yao expressed his views from an analyst's perspective, Elon tweeted again, to the effect: "We do need better market breadth and more technology accumulation to accelerate development, but I believe this day will not
It would be too far.”
"We will display the technology accumulated by Tesla through an open source platform at the appropriate time."
"Aerospace is indeed a part of my energy."
Now Mr. Elon can't say as easily as he did in an interview later: "Am I crazy for working 90 hours a week? I put so much energy into starting SpaceX and Tesla really not just for money."
He also said: "If anyone thinks that starting a car company is easy to make money, that's a fool!"
"Both Tesla and SpaceX have less than 10% chance of success."
"The reason why I started a business in the field of electric vehicles was not because of environmental issues, but because I was worried that we would eventually run out of oil and human civilization would collapse."
"Because we can no longer drive or run power plants, we must develop sustainable energy and accelerate the shift to sustainable energy production and consumption."
"Sooner or later we have to move towards sustainable energy, so why take the risk of warming the climate, which is very destructive."
"As for SpaceX, I think we need to take action to allow humans to become an interstellar civilization and a multi-planetary species. This is an exciting and inspiring future. You need to have something like this that you wake up every morning and think about it."
Excited about the future.”
"Why do people live?"
"If this is all about solving a tragic problem? Then what is the meaning of life?"
"So there needs to be something like this to motivate and inspire, and I think space is such a thing..."
To be honest, from the point of view Elon has publicly expressed, there is nothing wrong with him having so many public supporters and even appeal around the world.
After Tesla gradually became the world's leading electric car company, Elon also once again proved at the public level his ability to realize self-worth while solving popular needs, namely: making money.
The halo continues to pile up on him, and coupled with these views, it is normal for Elon's personal charm to be maximized.
Let's put it this way, Wen Liang is a reborn person. God doesn't know how many cheats he has been given, and he has also blessed himself as a third-generation cheat. So far, in terms of public personal charm, he cannot compare to the later Elon.
Although in a broad sense, both of them may have the same ideal of stars and sea, their areas of focus are almost completely opposite.
This is also related to the different environments the two of them are in.
but……
Putting all these aside, here is a special piece of trivia:
Current electric vehicle technology is inseparable from the lithium minerals whose found mineral content is far lower than the remaining reserves of discovered petroleum deposits.
Of course, because lithium is a metal, it has recyclability value. However, if problems such as the cost of lithium recovery technology cannot be solved, lithium will be exhausted before oil.
According to incomplete statistics, based on the current and future development status of electric vehicles and charging technology bottlenecks, the penetration rate by 2050 will not be significant in the automotive industry.
According to later sources, China’s dependence on the import of lithium ore resources is higher than its dependence on oil imports.
In general, everything in the downstream development of the energy industry is ultimately inseparable from the fate of being a miner of raw materials.
Of course, there is no problem that clean energy is the future development trend. Anyway, the energy sources we currently rely on all have flaws or technical bottlenecks of one kind or another.
At present, the biggest direction of hope is controllable nuclear fusion. Among the 16 major projects, the one that has not been publicly disclosed is the 'Inertial Confinement Fusion Ignition Project'.
He was also part of the material research project that was given to Bolang by the old man's whims.
In short... Elon's current views are not so "mature and steady" and are full of personal charm.
While Elon continued to express his views on Twitter, some enthusiastic netizens also took a break from talking about virtual currencies and paid attention to Tesla, electric vehicles, new energy, and environmental protection.
"This is a long-term industry, but Tesla's current development is indeed not going to be very good."
"Based on the current financial report and expected development, this year's revenue will not exceed US$2 billion, and financial difficulties will seriously limit Tesla's further progress."
"And it also involves technical matters, which require a huge investment of research resources. It cannot be done by just relying on stories."
"After all, it is one of the most popular stocks this year. The long-term value is still worthy of bullishness. It is difficult to say in the short term."
Subsequently, some financial elites also came to an end.
Among them, Stephen Gayfoy, a trader on the New York Stock Exchange, said that Tesla is a good company, but the current valuation is too advanced:
"Tesla's stock is only worth $80 in my opinion, and I will wait for its stock price to enter a more reasonable valuation range before buying."
With the demise of the New York Stock Exchange traders, some Wall Street elites also expressed some personal views and opinions through their personal social network accounts.
Basically the direction is consistent with the analysis and research report of Bolang International Investment Bank.
I'm optimistic about Tesla in the long term, but it's hard to say in the short term.
Be optimistic about related industrial chains.
and clean energy related industry chain stocks.
That's why it's an ambiguous state.
However, late at night in the Eastern United States, while elites from all walks of life were still expressing their opinions through social networks, Bolang International Investment Bank immediately expressed its position through public channels.
There are speculations about this from the outside world, which are basically consistent with the facts...
Yes, it is indeed lunch break time for Bolang International Investment Bank.
…………
In Beijing, at 2:30 pm later in the afternoon, Bolang International Investment Bank ended its lunch break and continued working.
According to the reference public opinions and compilation reports listed in the public opinion monitoring system, everyone was busy performing their duties according to the plan.
Although it will only be the seventh day since the establishment of Bolang International Investment Bank until a few days ago, some of the group's processes have already begun to be implemented.
for example:
Plan.
Two days ago, Wen Liang went to the decision-making center and clapped his hands, launching business as if he had made an impromptu announcement. Now it is already in pre-plan mode.
Because the execution of the process will reduce additional risks caused by various factors such as 'adaptation' and 'temporariness', and reduce the possibility of everyone responding hastily and causing systemic risks.
Faced with the current situation that the direction of public opinion discussion did not exceed the scope of the plan, the account Min soon expressed some opinions through social networks.
“With the current development trend and technology accumulation of Tesla Motors, it does not have the ability to expand globally. The most important supporting technologies for electric vehicles, such as batteries and power recovery, as well as the main selling points of electric vehicles, such as engine, etc., are all owned by our parent company.
Bolang Group’s strong project categories.”
"In terms of related industry chains, Tesla Motors cannot compare with traditional car manufacturers."
"In terms of production and assembly, Tesla Motors cannot find enough capital to support its Gigafactory construction plan."
"In more specific areas of underlying technology, Tesla cars have many risks, which will limit Tesla's development..."
Min jumped right into talking about broad technical issues.
This subsequently ignited Tesla’s counterattack in the purely technical field.
Tesla, which is also headquartered in California in the western United States, has a time difference of 16 hours with China. Three o'clock in the afternoon is 11 o'clock there, which is not too late.
A Tesla technical engineer expressed a strong rebuttal, believing that Tesla’s deep involvement in the field of electric vehicles is among the best in the world, and listed some patented technical points.
And Bolang International Investment Bank and its backing Bolang Group showed no mercy to Tesla.
“According to public data, the battery technology used in the current Model S has the following risks:…
This also includes systemic safety risks caused by too many battery welding points...
Putting aside the possibility of spontaneous combustion with a very small probability that has not yet been completely solved in the field of electric vehicles, there are also the following technical risks:..."
