    A Work Project, presented as part of the requirements for the Award of a Master Degree in Economics / Finance / Management from the NOVA – School of Business and Economics. TESLA INC. EQUITY RESEARCH A TECH COMPANY SELLING CARS MAXIME HOZE - 41397 A Project carried out on the Master in Finance Program, under the supervision of: Nuno Vasconcelos e Sá 04.01.2021 Abstract Tesla’s market capitalization of $669bn as of 2. Jan. 2021 is disconnected from reality and can in our view not be justified by fundamental analysis. The 52-week share price range of $70,10-$718,71 implies a story-driven valuation that has given Tesla’s share price the momentum to reach unprecedented heights. Independent of the current market valuation of Tesla we see the company with great potential for growth and innovation, as it expands its production facilities towards Europe and China and has promising developments in breakthrough battery technologies, which will permit it to keep its competitive advantages and establish itself as the continued market leader in the battery electric vehicle (BEV) market and an important player in the energy generation & storage market in the future. Having almost reached the milestone of 500.000 delivered vehicles in 2020 and with ambitious expansion projects underway, we estimate that Tesla could reach close to 2 million vehicle deliveries in 2025 and 3,7 million in 2035. We reach a price target for FY21 of $160,70 through the APV valuation method and weighing three possible outcome scenarios that are detailed in the report.

In its annual report for 2012, the company summarizes its business operations: We design, develop, manufacture and sell high-performance fully electric vehicles and advanced electric vehicle powertrain components. We own our sales and service network and have operationally structured our business in a manner that we believe will enable us to rapidly develop and launch advanced electric vehicles and technologies. We believe our vehicles, electric vehicle engineering expertise, and operational structure differentiates us from incumbent automobile manufacturers. We are the first company to commercially produce a federally-compliant electric vehicle, the Tesla Roadster, which achieves a market-leading range on a single charge combined with attractive design, driving performance and zero tailpipe emissions. As of December 31, 2012, we had delivered approximately 2,450 Tesla Roadsters to customers in over 30 countries. While we have concluded the production run of the Tesla Roadster, its proprietary electric vehicle powertrain system is the foundation of our business. We modified this system

  • Update: California's Electric Vehicle Market
    www.theicct.org BRIEFING MAY 2017 Update: California’s electric vehicle market This briefing summarizes data on the development of the electric vehicle market in California through 2016. It quantifies electric vehicle market growth across California cities and metropolitan areas and provides U.S. market context. INTRODUCTION California has seen much faster uptake of electric vehicles than elsewhere in the U.S. and most places around the world. This briefing updates our assessment of the 2015 California market1 and quantifies key developments through 2016. It includes metropolitan area data and city-level data, providing greater resolution on markets where electric vehicle uptake is the highest. The paper analyzes uptake of battery- electric vehicles (BEVs) and plug-in hybrid vehicles (PHEVs), excluding conventional gasoline-electric hybrids. It is important to understand that California accounts for almost half of the U.S. market for plug-in electric vehicles. California represents 12% of the U.S. population, 14% of the economy, and 12% of new light-duty vehicle sales. (See Table 1.) Electric vehicle sales in the state since 2011 totaled 269,000, about 48% of U.S electric vehicle purchases. Public vehicle charging infrastructure in California represents 31% of the U.S. infrastructure, including a quarter of the public direct-current fast charging. 1 Searle, S., Pavlenko, N., Lutsey, N.

  • Tesla Model S
    Model S Premium Electric Sedan An evolution in automobile engineering Tesla’s advanced electric powertrain delivers exhilarating performance. Unlike a gasoline internal combustion engine with hundreds of moving parts, Tesla electric motors have only one moving piece: the rotor. As a result, Model S acceleration is instantaneous, silent and smooth. Step on the accelerator and in as little as 3.1 seconds Model S is travelling 60 miles per hour, without hesitation, and without a drop of gasoline. Model S is an evolution in automobile engineering. All-Wheel Drive Dual Motor Dual Motor Model S is a categorical improvement on conventional all-wheel drive systems. With two motors, one in the front and one in the rear, Rear Wheel Drive Model S digitally and independently controls torque to the front and rear wheels. The result is unparalleled traction control in all conditions. Conventional all-wheel drive cars employ complex mechanical linkages to distribute power from a single engine to all four wheels. This sacrifices efficiency in favor of all weather traction. In contrast, each Model S motor is lighter, smaller and more efficient than its All-Wheel Drive Dual Motor rear wheel drive counterpart, providing both improved range and faster acceleration. All-wheel drive is standard on Model S 70D and available as an option on Model S 85. Model S Performance comes standard with All-Wheel Drive Dual Motor, pairing the high performance rear motor with a high efficiency front motor to achieve supercar acceleration, from zero to 60 miles per hour in 3.1 seconds. Performance All-Wheel Drive Highest Safety Rating in America THE NATIONAL HIGHWAY TRAFFIC SAFETY ADMINISTRATION Model S is designed from the ground up to be the safest car on the road, as proven by a 5-star rating in all categories of the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) crash test.

Tesla: A Sequence of Belief Ted Lucas Andersson, 34028 A Project carried out on the Master in Finance Program, under the supervision of: Professor Paulo Soares de Pinho 03-01-2020 Abstract: Title: Tesla: A Sequence of Belief This case analyses the many challenges and achievements of a start-up company on its pursuit to take on the traditional players in an industry that is difficult to enter and succeed in. Additionally, this case details the road Tesla embarked on which tested investor confidence as Tesla strived to deliver on its increasingly ambitious goals. Furthermore, the case explores the strategic fit of merging two companies that are operating in two different industries but face similar financial problems arising from increasing debt levels and lack of profits.

  • Makes & Models
    Makes & Models EV Buyers Guide Background image: Designed by senivpetro / Freepik Types of EV SUVs A Sport Utility Vehicle (SUV) is a type of automobile that combines elements of road-going passenger cars with features from off-road vehicles, such as raised ground clearance and four-wheel drive. Those three ingredients: a high driving position, better performance in icy weather and plenty of space make SUVs particularly attractive to families. Practical / Small Family EVs The most popular car being bought today in the UK still tends to be the traditional family hatchback. A hatchback offers families (even those with dogs) just about everything they could need in a car by being spacious but not as big as SUVs, making them easier to manoeuvre and park. The original problems associated with electric cars (high prices, restricted performance at higher speeds and a limited driving range) have all been addressed, providing a very attractive solution for this market segment. Small/city EVs Electric power and small cars have always been a natural fi t. Their nippy acceleration is ideal in town, where shorter journeys mean that you don’t need to worry about recharging until you get home. Future Releases The electric car revolution has continued in earnest into the 2020s, with exciting new electric cars arriving every month. Prices are just about starting to come down to affordable levels, and range is going up making them more attractive to purchase over existing petrol/diesel counterparts. Here are a few exciting models that will be released over the next couple of years.
