Tesla's share price has recently been hit by concerns about its ability to deliver, as well as the growing competition among automakers who turn their product lines to electric vehicles.
With the market value still above $50 billion, it's easy to argue that Tesla's price is still heavily inflated, especially when you compare it to the prices of GM and Ford --
This generated 20 times the income.
You can understand why Tesla is still one of the most short-selling stocks.
Billions of dollars in bets.
But a lot of people don't understand the advantages of Tesla: It's not just a car company;
It is a technology company that builds a technology platform.
With this, it is also positioned as a leader in the energy industry and the shared economy.
It will bring the same integration, data analysis and elegance to these industries as cars.
I call my Tesla Model S "a spaceship traveling on land ".
"It's driving in a different way than any other type of car, fast and smooth.
For me, other electric cars like BMW i3, Mercedes B-
By contrast, the Nissan Leaf and Chevrolet Bolt I'm driving seem to be a clunky repackaging of old technology.
They are more of a cassette player than an ipod.
I am very much looking forward to Tesla's Model 3, and although the price is only half of my Model S, it will be as good as my Model S.
On July 2016, Elon Musk announced that Tesla will use these technologies.
The shared platform, the Tesla Network, through which car owners can rent out cars as automatic taxis to take back investment and even make a profit from the car.
As he explained, "since most cars are only used by car owners 5% to 10% a day, the basic economic utility of the real self
Driving a car can be several times as many as not driving a car.
"Highly sought after --
After the car and the lead, Tesla may take a big share of the car.
Sharing economy
The transportation industry is expected to change and disrupt the economy of the car market.
Tesla is already diversifying its business so that it will not fall into the automotive industry when this happens.
Behind Tesla's car is another technology platform that is being commercialized: batteries.
Tesla's Powerwall is a rechargeable lithium battery.
Ion batteries for home solar storage
The captured energy can be used at night or during a power outage.
This complements the solar roof tiles that Tesla is selling and it looks like regular tiles and is competitive in price.
So all you have is what Musk says is "a smooth, integrated, beautiful solar-roof-with-
Just battery products that work.
"This is the strength and elegance Apple's iPhone brings, integrating music, phone and computer applications into one device.
Just as Tesla can make ownership of the car a source of revenue for drivers, it can do the same with solar power.
Homeowners can share their excess energy with other homeowners and provide charging stations for other Tesla cars.
This will also greatly expand Tesla's super charging network, allowing cars to charge almost anywhere.
On a larger scale, Tesla provides power grids for utility companiesscale energy-
The need for storage systems will enable them to scale up production and gain a cost advantage.
It has just won a bid to provide the world's largest lithium to the South Australian government.
Ion battery system-
Up to 129 MW of storage space, up to 100 MW, is enough to power more than 30,000 homes.
Musk promised to install the system in a record 100 days.
Tesla's data from the device will enable it to optimize energy.
As its own storage operation
Driving data enables it to optimize the car.
Yes, Tesla has a production problem and failed to meet the delivery target.
But that's how technology companies operate: they iterate until they do things right.
They think big, take risks and change the world.
They have made very optimistic forecasts and often missed them, which is why investors panic and short stocks.
But when these companies shoot at the moon, they do a lot more than others.
That's why they tend to be the most valuable in the end.
Against gravity.
