The up scenario is basically the one where Tesla's cars are Apple's Macs. Apple used the success of the mac to get itself into a number of other industries to such an extent that people now fear it will abandon the mac because it makes such a small amount from it.
So what are Tesla's other business lines? Solar panel deployments (residential and industrial), battery deployments, electrical utility software providers, autonomous robotaxi services, residential HVAC. This is just things they've publicly said they're working on today. It would surprise me if they don't have an electric plane in the works by the end of this decade. Maybe industrial sabatier-process based carbon capture for jurisdictions with carbon taxes and Mars bases.
Basically, they have enough "bets" that you can believe, if you want to.
- jseliger 6y agoThe comparison to Apple makes sense: I have spent the last decade and a half reading prognosticators announce that Apple's stock is overpriced, and so far all of them have been wildly wrong. Eventually they'll almost certainly be right, since, historically speaking, no stock has gone up forever, but they've been impressively wrong so far.
