Unlike traditional automakers, electric-vehicle (EV) maker Tesla (TSLA) can dynamically raise or lower prices at will — and it has just done that, again.

Here are a few notable hikes: Model 3 Rear-Wheel-Drive, Tesla’s cheapest vehicle, went up $2,000 to nearly $47,000 Model 3 All-Wheel Drive jumped $2,500 to $54,500 The base version of… Source link

When President Joe Biden wanted to talk about building electric vehicle chargers as part of his “Made in America” initiative last week, he turned to the U.S. wing of a German technology conglomerate. It was Siemens USA CEO Barbara Humpton who was on stage with the president on Friday to announce $54 million in new investments, including a new plant that promises to be a centerpiece of the company’s efforts to produce over a million EV chargers in the U.S. over the next four years.

President Biden said something completely obvious on Feb. 8 — and it was big news for one of America’s most innovative companies. During an otherwise unremarkable address on domestic manufacturing, Biden referred to Tesla (TSLA) as “our nation’s largest electric vehicle maker.” This is unmistakably true, and nobody disputes it. But up till now, Biden has pushed aggressively for more electric vehicle manufacturing without ever acknowledging that Tesla already produces close to 1… Source link

As detailed in a broad SEC filing this week, Tesla gave investors an update on its Bitcoin holdings. Parsing through the disclosure, it boils down to this: Tesla bought around $1.5 billion in bitcoin (BTC-USD) in the early part of 2021; realized a gain of $128 million on a sale of some of its stake earlier in 2021; has now taken a $101 million impairment on the holding as bitcoin’s value has diminished; and currently Tesla’s bitcoin stake has a market value of nearly $2 billion, and a ‘carrying… Source link

Tesla’s (TSLA) shares closed higher on Friday after an unusually volatile week in which the electric vehicle company posted fourth quarter earnings that, while better than estimates, gave at least a few Wall Street analysts grounds for skepticism over its ambitious 2022 goals. The automaker beat expectations during the final stretch of 2021, with double digit revenue and gross margin growth. Tesla sales will comfortably grow above 50% in 2022 compared with last year despite supply chain… Source link

Rivian’s stock has an electric amount of upside potential.  At least that is the good word from top Wall Street auto analyst at Morgan Stanley Adam Jonas.  The often headline-making Jonas — known for his bullish calls on Rivian rival Tesla — thinks Rivian’s stock warrants at least a 160% surge from levels he believes are overly depressed. “An IPO that preceded the December market top, the reality-check of supply chain bottlenecks (normal in auto land, perhaps not normal in tech land), and… Source link

Lucid shares fell as much as 14% on Thursday amid a selloff in electric vehicle stocks. The high-end EV maker is falling in sympathy with Tesla (TSLA) after the industry giant warned about supply-chain challenges.  Despite Tesla’s top and bottom line beat for its fourth quarter, investors are focused on product delays and parts constraints.  “Our own factories have been running below capacity for several quarters as supply chain became the main limiting factor, which is likely to continue… Source link

Tesla could be leaving a lot of money on the table over the next decade if it can’t get a $25,000 electric vehicle to market. “Expanding into lower price volume segments will be critical to support the company’s growth outlook as we move into the middle part of the decade,” said Guggenheim analyst Ali Faghri in a research note Thursday.  On Wednesday, Tesla CEO Elon Musk shot down the potential for a $25,000 car this year as it focuses resources on the rollout of full-self driving… Source link
