Episode notes
Tesla Sales Slump In Europe
- Tesla's European demand plunged last year, with steep declines in France, Sweden and Spain that dragged global deliveries lower.
- Analysts expect Tesla's Q4 deliveries fell roughly 11% and Bloomberg's composite was even less optimistic earlier in the week.
BYD Emerges As Global EV Leader
- BYD likely surpassed Tesla as the world's largest EV maker after delivering about 4.6 million vehicles last year.
- BYD's mix includes roughly 2.26 million fully electric cars and strong pricing helped by Chinese subsidies.
Factor Musk's Focus Into Tesla Risk
- Consider valuation and focus shifts when evaluating Tesla since Elon Musk's attention on robo-taxi and autonomy may distract from car production.
- Factor in product execution risk and investor sentiment tied to Musk's non-car ventures when sizing exposure.
