“Notably, the Tesla car models have contributed to its high market capitalization compared to competitors.
Tesla’s business model in recent years has been impressive to investors.
The company has transformed from regularly missing delivery targets and production milestones to overdelivering on different fronts.
The surge in the market capitalization comes at a time when Tesla reiterated pre-COVID guidance for half-million deliveries in 2020, despite factory shutdowns in both the U.S. and China.”
However, Tesla’s market dominance is being challenged by traditional manufacturers who are setting up electric vehicle branches.
