Tesla Inc: Currently trading at $359.65
We consider TSLA a strong buy with a price target of $500 by 2018.
The reasons for this:
Tesla is poised to become the most disruptive company to multiple industries since Apple. They are a Tech company that can have impact on the Automotive Sector, Global commodities, Artificial Intelligence, the information Data and Storage sector, and the global Energy Sector.
The Model 3 is set to be released in July of 2017 with a target of 500,000 cars annually. Tesla set the record for any product to be sold in one day with 232,000 Model 3 reservations and over 400,000 total. This shows the incredible demand the public has for an affordable EV before it is even available for test drive. Tesla has passed Ford and GM to be the most valuable auto manufacture in the United States.
Autonomous vehicles and ride sharing are part of the future and Tesla is positioning itself as the top player in those areas. Tesla is the safest car on the road by far and getting safer with Autopilot features. Everyday, more data is being transmitted to Tesla servers on road conditions and people’s driving habits.
Tesla Charging stations are fast, efficient, and build brand loyalty. By the end of the year range anxiety will be a folk tale.
The first Gigafactory is nearing completion, which will have the largest areal footprint of any building in the world. It will drive down the cost of lithium ion batteries and enable highly efficient manufacturing of Teslas. It will implement the latest robotics programed by Elon Musk. Also, the factory will be the most advanced of our generation which will focus on integrated vertical manufacturing.
The Tesla Semi truck will be unveiled in September. This sector is untapped for EVs and autonomous driving and could rack in billions.
Elon Musk has said that he expects Tesla cars will be able to drive from CA to NY on autopilot by the end of the year, a first for such a technology.
Tesla Solar Panels have made breakthroughs in technology by merging high efficiency photovoltaics with durable and attractive roof tiles that are affordable. The solar tiles are now sold out until 2018. The tiles have a infinite warranty and are nearly impossible to break.
The power wall storage is growing in popularity in countries such as Australia which is facing an energy crisis. Tesla power walls are the most competitive energy storage devices on the market.
The Model Y is set to be released in 2019. This will be a compact SUV which are growing in popularity in the USA. Tesla also plans to unveil the Roadster, a sports car convertible.
India plans to electrify and go completely green by 2030 with opportunities for Tesla expansion.
China has a pollution crisis. It is speculated that the communist party of China could mandate that all cars need to be electric. This could be similar to the one child policy mandate.
Panasonic, a key partner in Tesla Inc., is fully committed to lithium batteries. They have plans to help Tesla build multiple gigafactories around the globe.
Tencent, one of the largest companies in the world, has a 5% stake in TSLA. We believe this trillion dollar Chinese company will increase their position.

Tesla will continue to prosper and grow and benefit from numerous endeavors under the vision and leadership of Elon Musk.
