re: Elon Musk Says Tesla Will Be $1 Trillion Dollars Soon

Can you elaborate more? Again I admit I dont know much but when you take an internal combustion engine vehicle with a gazillion moving parts and then a tesla with many fewer moving parts and then combine the scale this gigafactory is going to give tesla in terms of lowering costs, I dont see how gross margins dont improve drastically.

All Im saying is, Tesla got crushed on the solar city deal a few weeks ago and its right back, someone keeps buying this thing, the gigafactory opens in 2-3 weeks, albeit not 100% done, but it will be operational.

Today I saw a report of 18M cars I think will be sold in the US in 2020, Tesla says it will attempt to sell 1M of those, lets say they bomb and do 500,000. How much revenue is that? Pretty close to todays market cap of 28B. I dont know what comes of tesla, I hope electric cars are way off as Im in the gas business, but these things seem to be ramping up and the gigafactory opening this month could be the foot on the pedal. I dont know man what other car company can sell 400,000 cars pre launch? Toyota,Mercedes,BMW,etc could never. I mean of course rolls royce or ferrari could if they launched a 35k car but still its an amazing feat that speaks alot about teslas brand

Like I said Musk has said he's revealing his master plan part 2 this week, his original master plan 10 years ago was this

Build sports car
Use that money to build an affordable car
Use that money to build an even more affordable car
While doing above, also provide zero emission electric power generation options
Don't tell anyone.

He seems to have nailed that in a decade, and now hes saying Tesla is going to be a $1 trillion dollar company and thats 30x from here so im listening bc he sounded nuts in 2006 and now he came through
