All through the morning it’s a little bit softer around the open
imbalance. Well we’re down there by four per cent. Hertz is down
by about three point three two.
The confusion is around this tweet from Elon Musk. Elon Musk
saying earlier yesterday yesterday evening if any of this is
based on her I’d like to emphasize that no contract has been
signed yet. Tesla has far more demand than production. Therefore
we will only sell cars to Hertz for the same margin as the
consumers. Hertz have gone on to say in a statement to us as we
announced last week Hertz has made an initial order of 100000
Tesla electric vehicles and is investing in new charging
infrastructure across the company’s global operations.
With this story at Ludlow on the West Coast at Ludlow this one
confusing everybody.
All it takes is a tweet. John you know we’re at twelve hundred
dollars share of tests closer play Monday. And Elon Musk is
making the point that Tesla is a supply constrained business.
This is not new. He’s mentioned it time and again. Their problem
isn’t demand. It’s their ability to build enough vehicles and
then deliver them in a timely fashion. That’s why 2021 in 2022
is such a key period because we have the new factory in Berlin
coming online to service local demand in Europe and the new
factory in Austin coming online. So this isn’t hugely
surprising. You can see the market reacting there. Tesla down by
almost 5 per cent Covid me into my Bloomberg terminal. Look at
this chart because this deal with Hertz whatever it is fleet
deal retail deal it added a lot of market cap to this company
right. Almost 300 billion dollars. You can see on the right hand
side of the screen the drop off reflecting two Tuesdays trading
because this was a point of differentiation. It was something
Tesla didn’t have today. They hadn’t direct to consumer business
not to be business. But apparently this is something that you
know is refuting. Don’t make too much of a big deal of the stock
move ad because as you know down two point seven percent
compared to where we were in October. It’s nothing.

Well I don’t get the market jump over this possible Hertz deal. If you are Hertz, you’re trying to extract concessions from Tesla in negotiations. Price, upgrades, delivery priority.,,,,,, all that stuff. A company like GM would benefit from such an order, but when you can’t meet your existing demand, I don’t see how it’s a big benefit. Investors are applying too much outdated analysis here.

gm cant even HOPE to supply a car Rental with even 5,000 cars , NO ONE on Earth is going to Trust gm again.
besides the BOLT is a Compact Hatchback , not Really MARKETABLE.
Tesla model 3 is a PREMIUM Sedan , and has more TECH.
the Seats in the BOLT are Terrible , the Model 3 seats are Perfection.
