TESLA IS NOW THE MOST VALUABLE CAR MAKER IN AMERICA, TOLD YA, LOL

Back in December I posited that Porsche, the luxury brand was helping Tesla Motors by joining the race for the luxury electric sports car niche. Porsche back then said it was out to challenge Tesla, however Tesla is so far ahead of all the car manufacturers that they will continue to see cost and market advantages the others couldn't even buy. one such advantage is the Gigafactory, the largest building in the world which will make all the batteries Tesla would need for the foreseeable future.

Today Tesla (trading as TSLA) just became the most valuable car company in america. but to say that Tesla is a car company is to say that you don't understand what Tesla is or what Tesla has done. first of all Tesla is a technology company and treated as such by most of the pundits on wall street, and while is still has a long way to go, in terms of market cap, to catch the big tech companies like Apple and Alphabet (Google's parent company), Tesla is also known as a really good company and that plays very well in the consumer market.

Another seemingly unspoken, by analysts at least, advantage of Tesla is that they have adopted the Triple bottom line (or TBL or 3BL) approach to governing, i.e PEOPLE, PLANET AND PROFITS, and CEO, Elon Musk talks about that all the time, he also encourages other businesses to adopt this approach to governing. this has built more goodwill for Tesla than it has for any other company in America. Saving the planet from global warming affects has been one of his stated objectives of life. and he is living the dream, when he started Tesla he said he wanted to transform america and see only clean all electric vehicles on the road, well millions believe him and they are buying Tesla cars, in such hugely unexpected amounts that all the other car makers are now playing catch-up to try and capitalize on the market popularity of all electric cars that Tesla created. 

Nowadays, Elon Musk is talking about building another Gigafactory, somewhere else in the world, so that they can also build all electric cars for the rest of the planet, as well as supply some of his competitors. Let me also reiterate, Tesla also has considerable technology advantages over the likes of Porsche and General Motors, having decided to do it the right way from the get go, like deciding to make the cars beautiful looking, unlike previous attempts by General Motors and others, this technology advantage positions Tesla to respond more quickly to market demands and Technology changes and advances moving forward. They lead in all electric car technology, in self-driving technology, in battery technology and in national deployment of charging stations, installing them nationwide in a smart grid and they even allow other manufacturers to use their charging station, this, in a deliberate attempt to speed up the adoption of all electric cars nationwide, a policy which relates directly to the PLANET in Elon Musk's triple bottom line approach. Sharing technology is one way to put the planet first, and Tesla understands that too well. Does the other manufacturers? they haven't shown it through policies like this. So again, it puts them at a disadvantage. 

Tesla cars also offer the option of Self-driving technology, which in itself has many advantages, like having the car meet you on your doorstep in cold weather, whether it is parked in your garage or the street, you can program the car to meet you, since both the car and the keys are WiFi capable and the on-board technology is easily programmable. Now, how cool is that, the future is here. And this is not a sci-Fi movie or TV show, this is the reality that Tesla has created. whilst I'm not an official evangelist for Tesla, I encourage you to buy an all electric vehicle, if for no other reason than to save the planet. 

   

#PORSCHE HAS JUST AMPLIFIED THE VALUE AND GOODWILL OF #TESLA MOTORS

With Today's announcement by Porsche that they will in fact put into production their #Electric Concept car "Mission E" and with it be in direct competition with #Tesla Motors for the High-end electric car market has also signaled the #arms #race for HIGH-END #ELECTRIC #CARS, soon you will see most big automakers, GM, Toyota, Ford & Mitsubishi dusting off thier own Electric concepts and trying to decide which will eventually compete with Tesla & Porsche. However, I would recommend that they look closer at the Mid-size and Low-end markets where there will always be opportunities for all Electric cars. The success of the Toyota Prius and their line of Hybrids is certainly a clear indication that the Market is ready for mid-size and low-end Electric cars. The folks at #Porsche will undoubtedly try to beat Elon Musk but this will in fact have the opposite effect, this will in fact amplify the value and #genius of Tesla Motors! and help to drive sales of the TEsla eslectric cars. even Porsche owners will test drive the Teslas in order to determine if they like electrics, and when they decide that they do, they won't want to wait 7-8 years for the Porsche Mission E, so they will start with the a TESLA Model S. TESLA IS far ahead of Porsche and all others, in terms of Marketing, market adoption and they also have a mountain of data and metrics to support their movements forward, whihc no doubt, will position Tesla in an alwasy advantageous Position over all rivals. Soon too, based on the thinking and Ambition of Elon Musk and his team at Tesla, we can expect to see a entry into the mid-size car market. Porsche's announcement, and subsequent announcements, will help to build #GOODWILL for the Tesla brand! Mark my words folks, you heard it here first.

In terms of design, Porsche has already bowed to Tesla in terms of Interior design and functionality, the Mission E's instrument panel engenders backward thinking, it looks like the 1976 Ford Grand Torino, compared to the Futuristic look of the Tesla Model S. when most people think of an electric car, they think of future and future technology. The Tesla Model S has central control panel that's all digital about the size of 2 Mac Powerbooks and with technology to match. the Porsche on the other hand has a digital display thats smaller than most Tablets. the interior look is classic, but dated. whereas the Tesla Model S is certainly futuristic and very functional. the Model S is also built for families as well as racing enthusiasts, but it seems the Porsche is only focused on the super car racing enthusiasts to their detriment. Many questions till remain, will i t include auto-pilot fro instance. the Tesla Model S P85D boasts the best auto pilot in the world, using 4 independent systems (radar, cameras, Ultrasonic & GPS/Traffic data) that means the Tesla also steers itself and parks itself both on roads and your garage. You can even summon the Tesla to meet at your front door if it's parked elsewhere! Everything about the Tesla shows that Elon Must and his team are thinking of people first, and more importantly, providing solutions that people need or want most. and that's why Tesla will continue to be ahead of everyone else and why they will benefit from this and other announcements in the High-end Car market. Tesla has even Guaranteed the value of their cars to stay high, and have offered a truly revolutionary financing option, that allows you to own one for NO DOWN-PAYMENT and only about $500.00 per month.

Now I can't wait for the Arms Race of the low-end and mid-class variety. it's coming too! the #ElectricCar #wins, the #planetwins, #globalwarming wins.
