Ten Trillion Tesla
- Thread starter RainMaker3000
- Start date
A company that produces a car that cannot go more than 200 miles before needing to pull over and charge up to full for an hour+, will not reach 10 trillion dollars in market cap in 4 years.
It is impossible. Especially as the USA keeps finding more and more cheep light-sweet crude under it's sands.

It's not clear to me why this thread is in the economics forum.
Nevertheless , i would like to comment on what i see as a hurdle to wider acceptance of electric cars: time needed to charge the batteries. I don't see a technological solution with lithium ion batteries because of temperature limitation. One possible, non-technological solution is larger capacity which has other drawbacks. Another possibility is battery rental where one doesn't own the battery and simply swaps a discharged battery for a charged one at "refueling stations". This requires standardization. Something difficult to implement in capitalist economies without government intervention. This is only a factor for long distance travel of course.
I don't understand that there is a necessarily a connection between a country adopting digital currency, i.e., elimination of hard currency, and bitcoin. See Sweden for example.

Taycan's high voltage system (800v) can fill up in 30 mins. We're getting there, just not there yet. Chevy Bolts are cheap in the used market....been thinking about one....though looks like the Leaf is a better buy.
Hilarious that Porsche's first offering is 3Y ahead of anything coming out of Tesla.
Good for local driving, commuting, or second car I guess.
