For this story we are going to have a little bit of fun and look far into Tesla’s future. As a Tesla investor since 2013, I always think about Tesla’s long term possibilities. After the Q4 2021 earnings report a few weeks ago, part of the picture became a bit clearer. Even if I’m wrong, I think this story makes good fiction.
Remember that this is just the opinion of a random person on the internet and is not financial advice!
When I was a kid, spending my summers in Taiwan, I read a lot of comic books. It was a great way to keep up my Chinese reading skills! I grew up with Doraemon and Dr Slump. By my mid teens, I started reading Dragon Ball, which was created by the same author as Dr Slump.
For those who don’t know about Dragon Ball, Goku is the main character, who starts out as a mysterious kid with a monkey’s tail who possessed a talent for martial arts. He eventually grows up and becomes the best fighter on Earth. One day, Earth is invaded by a hostile alien Saiyan army. Goku discovers he’s of the Saiyan race, becomes Super Saiyan, and defends Earth by defeating the invading Saiyan warriors. Then, I started college.
I think it’s a fun analogy to compare Goku to Tesla, which is also growing up and gaining super powers. ;-)
