Case for Tesla: Ark has made strong arguments for Tesla, stating in its newsletter that fears of falling demand for its vehicles are misplaced.
“If anything, Tesla’s supply is limited at current prices, and a $30,000 vehicle could increase demand tenfold. We wouldn’t be surprised if Tesla’s next-generation vehicle was the cyber robotaxi,” he said Sam KorusResearch Director, Autonomous Technology and Robotics at ARK.
Korus also detailed how Tesla’s addressable market will expand. “Last week during his Q3 conference call, Elon Musk noted that Tesla is developing a vehicle that will cost about half the price of the Model 3 and Model Y. Of the total US auto market, the addressable market is growing to 50% at ~US30,000 dollars as shown below,” said Korus.
