sales are about to break outSale numbers for EV's have been growing at a steady rate. As a year over year percentage it has been an amazing rate. But just wait for March 31st when Tesla offers the model 3 for pre-production orders. I am estimating that preorder sales will blow through the 100,000 unit level making it the worlds largest and most successful new car launch in history. Tesla will also record a 3.5 BILLLION in preorder sales .... the market will go CRAZY.
Will the competition sit on the sidellnes and just watch Tesla consume this market - not a chance. The Chevy Bolt and Nissan Leaf will be quick to respond with model updates and fasted delivery.
News of EV's will be popping up like spring flowers all over the place. But wait, we have ample production factories, but a limited production of batteries and its required raw materials. So to be in the game you wil need to now secure the raw materials and fast.
I suspect that Alabama will be receiving a major cash injection from a new intigrated partner or bought out within the next 3 months.. My thought was reinforced by the volume of shares that traded hands over the past few months and supported "someones" position in the company.
Remember that the TESLA GIGA Factory is currently in products at 15% and growing. This factory is consistantly referenced as
GIGA Facroty #1 (suggesting more). And to think, the real growth behind the battery is not the car, rather the grid storage.
I'm not missing this ride and am proud to be supporting a greener future. :)
