How do people think Tesla will do over the next few months?

Hopefully a lot better than it has done these last few months. I’ve been in minus since around March, although it has clawed back some and I’m now currently only ~1.5% loss, so should be in profit hopefully today.

Looks like we could see a drop at the opening bell.

And the reaction on the (cultish) TeslaMotors subreddit. There are some voices of reason but a lot of people defending a multi billion dollar company owned by the 2nd richest man in the world… as though Tesla is infallible and incapable of mistakes.

Anyone else swooping in to get a few cheaper-than-normal shares?
Should have sold my previous when they were 25% up! But hey learnt my lesson :joy:

Im personally expecting a very big Q3 and Q4 and the share price should move up in response. Production expansion at the China factory will drive delivery numbers higher, Berlin and Texas factories will then start pre-production and improving liquidity may result in investment grade credit rating some time around the new year. Supply chain difficulties could slow some of this down but Im very optimistic about the next 6 months.

Progress on Autopilot is a wild card. If they are able to make consistent improvements every 2 weeks more value might start to be assigned to autonomous driving potential. For now I think most see that as long-shot. Im going to hold and see where we are in January.

More than just a car company …

They have applied for the same permissions in the UK.

I am right in thinking this is under the Tesla TSLA share umbrella and not going to be a separate entity?

Yes I’d imagine it would be kept in house. The car business is fairly low margin so surrounding it with more profitable revenue streams means they have an advantage over their competitors.

Thought so but wasn’t 100% sure. :+1:

Hi All,

Just dropping to congratulate all who held Tesla during the massive sell off earlier this year a lot of people on this board were talking absolute drivel about how the sell off was permanent and Tesla’s valuation was still overvalued! How wrong they were stay strong bulls and keep holding and accumulating!

I would say it’s still overvalued by traditional metrics, but I’m holding anyway long term.

I’m up 1,000% now.

737B market cap is a big and impressive market cap.
But it’s built on sand and there is going to be a mighty crash. It’s just a matter of when.
It’s a like a massive rollercoaster cranking up for a drop, leaving those on board throwing up over the side and desperate to get off.

Yes, Tesla is a good company, but its price is based on a belief in one very charismatic man.
Hold by all means. Just hold on tight!

Very telling. https://twitter.com/business/status/1440868031475953664

Absolutely. No denying thar market cap is high but we know the reasons for that - revenues are around $50 Billion a year and they are growing 50% a year. They are already as big as volvo and are doing that off the back of just two cars.

I think production numbers will surprise people when they are announced in a few days time and we may see the share price close in on the previous highs. Two new factories also right around the corner and clear progress being made with autopilot. Nothing guaranteed of course but I see a very good year or two ahead.

The company had an income of $438 million, including a $101 million “positive impact” from the sale of Bitcoin, and $518 million from selling zero-emission regulatory credits to other automakers. That means Tesla continues to lose money making and selling vehicles .
It also has a lot of debt.

Don’t forget that SpaceX is not part of Tesla. However, Tesla is benefiting from the charismatic nature of the CEO of both companies.

Other car manufacturers are catching up on production and make more reliable cars. Families don’t buy Tesla cars.

If I was investing in Tesla and had made a lot of money, I would at least take out my initial investment to protect it and keep a proportion of the profits in. That way you won’t feel quite so ill when the price crashes.
