TSLA Jumps again...

[ztirffritz]

What other EV makers? I'm only half joking. I think Jaguar sold around 4000 iPace EVs last year. Tesla sells that in less than a week. You're thinking "OK, but what about the Chevy Bolt?" I think GM sold 16k Bolts in 2019. That's about 3 weeks of sales for Tesla. They have NO competition yet. Do they sell as many vehicles as GM or Toyota or VW? No, not even close...yet. But when it comes to EV sales they dominate.

Correction: Jaguar sold about 16k iPace EVs too.

I was under the impression that Tesla was simply caught up in the overall enthusiasm for EV’s in general. If Tesla stock price is doing better than the other EV makers, then it’s probably due to the recent delivery report, upcoming earnings report, and battery day.

I would also caution against thinking that Teslas are low quality cars. Nothing could be further from the truth. There may be minor fit and finish issues, but by far owners are very happy with them. I think all of its pluses or advantages compared to other cars, more than make up for the minor gripes for Tesla owners. These are my impressions from driving Teslas, as well as everyone I know that owns a Tesla.
