Notes: Buy $TSLA, not a Tesla

I’ve owned an electric scooter since September 2010. It’s a cheap Chinese important. It’s rusty, a little chunky, but it gets the job done. It’s hard to explain, but electricity is the future, I’ve felt this since day 1.

Tesla also sees this potential. And so, just yesterday, they announced their latest product; the Tesla Model 3. At $35,000, the Tesla Model 3 is a very likeable, high quality electric vehicle.

It’s hard to ignore.

Exactly 6 weeks ago, on the 14th of February I tweeted this:

Since then their stock as soared:

And it will continue to soar over the next few years. I wouldn’t need any better signals here:

• Yesterday, Tesla generated $7.5B in one day. Their entire revenue in 2014 was $3.198B.
• In the first 48 hours, Tesla sold the equivalent of 3% of all annual US car sales. Read that again. 48 hours. 3%.
• All with zero advertising budget.
• They have yet to hit true main-stream. You just don’t see many Tesla’s around. They are only getting started.
• From personal experience, I know electric vehicles to be the future.

You’re witnessing a company in its infancy. The Model 3 could be to Tesla what the iPod or iPhone was to Apple, or bigger. Yet, I wouldn’t buy a Tesla Model 3, I’d take the $35,000, and buy $TSLA stock.

Here’s a little anecdote about Apple:

You should follow me on Twitter, I could possibly maybe make you a lot of money, or it could be a catastrophic failure. Only invest what you’re prepared to lose. 💸 📈 ✨

A simple way to think about it: Conventional cars are the Nokia 3210, The Tesla Model 3 is the iPhone.

Here’s my 100% electric scooter. It costs €50 year to run. Thats it.
