ARK obviously has every reason to push these price forecasts. The bull case is completely farcical: $327billion in autonomous ride-hailing revenue by 2025?
Who here thinks there will be even 1 fully autonomous vehicle on the roads by 2025? Back in 2016 these people were claiming we'd have fleets of autonomous vehicles on the road by 2021, here we are and still nothing has moved beyond Level 2. We are legit probably decades away from a true robotaxi much less one company making $327billion in revenue from armies of them

tesla needs to be selling 1-2 million cars per year from next year.
decades is right
this is state of it as of today.

Nobody will own the market share.
It will be no different than ice competitors currently.
Margin in automotive sector for all the big makers is around 10-18 percent. Has been that number for last 20 years.

Real talk though- when are Electric-cels gonna start paying their way for road maintenance? Not even sure how you manage to even that out.

And no, Ford & GM are not innovative companies, I'm not banking on them being market leader for electric vehicles (or anything for that matter).
I hear you though because I used to think like you. I do not like the Tesla car (German cars crew) and won't buy one myself, it took me a lot of hours to understand wtf Tesla COMPANY was about, so DYOR, you'd be surprised (as I did) and form your own opinion.

Seems the consensus among automated driving experts is that fully autonomous vehicles are decades away, it's just hugely detached from what's being sold to the public and the people involved fukn know it. Somewhere down the line they'll hit us with a "we never thought fully autonomous vehicles would happen by this date" because of some nuance in the verbiage, like Lordstown Motors coming out and saying they don't think anyone believed they had "real orders" for their vehicles after the report from Hindenburg

Regardless, I would agree that US legacy auto companies are going under mainly due to pension liabilities they'll never get on top of and the labor costs due to heavy union presence.

Itβs not boyos.
You will be the same ones butt hurt when Tesla makes another run.

I will consider investing in the EV sector when we see a correction (which will inevitably come) even tho I hate EVs

a lot of my portfolio is made up of travel stocks.
european lockdown/vaccination news is gonna kill me tomorrow, and the stocks probably wont recover until next year if summer vacations can't go ahead
not sure whether to sell on open or just hold.. and at least i can sell covered calls
feels bad all my paper profits are gonna go

So I agree with other miscers, nuclear power is the future if they can fix the idk, meltdowns. Then EV would be great for consoomers, charge overnight, then commute to work, no more gas station/emissions. If solar panel tech picks up, that'd be nice too, the tesla solar/powerwall/ev combo.
I think bill gates is onto something here since he bought up a chitload of farmland, prepping for synthetic fuel. It doesn't make sense to make ALL ICE cars completely obsolete, and not enough mine/batteries for everyone.

"In Norway, electric vehicle sales have gone from zero to nearly 60% penetration between 2010 and 2019. Despite such a dramatic shift away from oil, Norwayβs carbon intensity has declined by10% compared with 11% in the US where EVs remain less than 2% of all vehicle sales."
"Given the huge upfront energy needs of wind, solar and batteries, any performance disappointment could mean the difference between moderate carbon savings and net increases in carbon. "
"Countries that have adopted natural gas, on the other hand, have seen better results while spending trillions less. Moving towards nuclear generated electricity is an even better option and would allow for the greatest carbon reduction while still saving trillions."
This is why Oil/Gas and Nuclear are investments that offer the most substantial upside.
