Tesla has added an entire FORD with adding over $23 billion market cap in one day.
How anyone can think these markets are not going to collapse is beyond me. There is absolutely no possible way this is sustainable!!!
Although I agree, there are I think a couple of noteworthy points. First, I think Elon said that by the end of the year, Teslas will be fully autonomous. Of course this has been said before, but if you imagine for just one second that this is true, you could probably put an entire year's worth of production, 100,000 cars, into taxi service right away. This will kill Uber and Lyft, and take over many other businesses, like delivery. Imagine ordering something and just waiting for the car to pull up to the house and you running out to take it out of the trunk. Heck, even picking up your Amazon package in a car that pulls up to your house would be pretty sweet.
Now I don't believe for one second this will happen this year, too much regulation even if technically it is possible, but this is the future. Maybe 3 years, maybe 5 years, maybe 10, but you will for sure be able to sit in a car that drives itself and have it take you somewhere without any human having to do anything. Perhaps all the Robinhood traders are thinking the time is now and scooping up every share. And like I say, its not just a revolution for you getting around, its a revolution for packages and food getting delivered. So add up all those other industries that might suffer with Tesla autonomous tech stealing the show.
Next, there has been some news about Tesla releasing new battery tech very soon. If they get to the level of having 700-900 miles range, that is perhaps the upper limit of what most people want to drive in a day. Then charging overnight will be a non issue. So in this case, the ICE has lost the only advantage it still had left.
I think the case can be made for Tesla to achieve market domination in many sectors, but of course it might just as easily run out of money before then. But because of the two above points, I can see they have a 1 in a 1000 chance of perhaps really revolutionizing the world even more.
