“Our biggest miss was how TSLA can take advantage of its stock price to raise capital inexpensively and fund capacity outlays and growth,” “To wit, TSLA raised $10-billion in ATM share offerings towards the end of 2020 ($5-billion each). The second offering was less-than 1-per-cane dilutive. This shows how easily TSLA can fund future growth whereas traditional OEMs need to generate significant cash from existing operations to fund their transition to electrification. Moreover, we’d argue that TSLA can use its stock price to fund acquisitions. Even a relatively large deal would be insignificant to TSLA’s market cap (e.g., a $25-billion acquisition would be less-than 4-per-cent share count dilutive). To sum it up, the higher stock price is somewhat self-fulfilling to TSLA’s growth potential. TSLA’s current valuation is just too large to ignore in this construct”

“NKLA relying on partners for the commercial trucks, hydrogen, Badger, etc., which had always been part of their plan. The comparison to a more vertically-integrated TSLA was never apt (aside from both doing alt. propulsion, biz models quite different) and many were too focused on Badger (much smaller opp). And to be fair, many OEMs (especially in CVs) also rely on other partners for key components,”

about Elon Musk
)
:
“Tesla as a company has undeniably changed the auto industry in terms of pushing vehicles towards electrification, vehicle architecture/compute and the importance of software in vehicles,” “Tesla has also established a compelling and desired brand, enhanced by the halo of Elon Musk as its leader. This point should not be taken lightly by traditional automakers. The consumer perception of Tesla being a superior vehicle could lead to share gains and higher margins (via premium pricing) even if traditional OEMs are (eventually) able to offer a functionally similar vehicle to what a Model 3/Y is today. This could lead to continued reinvestment that keeps Tesla steps ahead of the competition. Of course the flip side is that with many more Teslas in operation, the company’s quality and service, which we believe to be below average, must improve else risking the brand – especially with more competition coming”
