However, at the moment when the automobile market is gradually shifting to electrification, the emerging Tesla has become a more eye-catching focus. Not only does its founder Musk often speak amazingly, but its market value has also gone up all the way, hitting record highs. Perhaps Tesla's rising market value is too eye-catching. A few days ago, Akio Toyoda also came out and said, "Zhang Nan said that although Tesla claims to be the' menu' for setting future car standards, Toyota has a real' kitchen' and' chef'."
Founded in 17, its market value has increased by 244 times.
Although Akio Toyoda's confidence and determination in the development of electric vehicles are no less than Tesla's, from the perspective of market value performance, Tesla cannot be ignored.
According to Toyota's official statement, its current market value is $220 billion, but this market value is about half of Tesla's market value of $41500 million. Tesla has become the most valuable automobile company in the world, which is enviable. Second, judging from the development of Tesla in recent years, its growth rate can be said to be general. In April and August of 20 17, Tesla surpassed Ford and GM in market value and became the car company with the highest market value in the United States. After nearly three years, in February 2020, Tesla's market value successfully surpassed the sum of BMW and Volkswagen and became the second car company in the world. Just four months later, Tesla's market value surpassed Toyota's and became the most valuable car company in the world in June this year. Who would have thought that when Tesla went public in 20 10, its market value was only1700 million dollars, and now it has reached a market value of more than 400 billion dollars, an increase of 244 times in ten years. Who can't sigh? !
Of course, the reason why Tesla's share price soared in 2020 is still foreseeable. The establishment of the super factory solved the pressure of slow growth caused by the slow delivery of vehicles for Tesla, and Musk himself also carried out a series of capital control. The means are also very superb, which in turn raises Tesla's share price.
The market value is the highest, but Tesla is still almost strong.
However, although Tesla is very strong in market value, the powerful Toyota cannot be ignored. After all, don't forget that Tesla was founded only 17 years ago. For a century-old car company like Toyota, Tesla is just a wet behind the ears, even though this child has now become the world's most valuable car company.
As described by Akio Toyoda, Tesla sold about 367,500 pure electric vehicles last year, accounting for only 3.4% of Toyota's 65,438+00,740 vehicles. Although Toyota is at a disadvantage in market value, it is the world's "boss" in product sales. At present, Toyota has produced more than 6,543.8 billion cars.
Indeed, the reason why Tesla's annual sales volume is not much is mainly due to insufficient production capacity, which makes Tesla the only car company in the world that can't keep up with orders. At present, Tesla has only three super factories in the United States, China and Shanghai, and the fourth one is located in Berlin. The continuous establishment of super factories will undoubtedly help Tesla quickly solve the pressure of insufficient production capacity.
On the other hand, in terms of sales volume, Toyota has indeed smashed many streets of Tesla. The data shows that Toyota's sales last year have reached 10742 million, which is more than 25 times that of Tesla. This gap is not a star and a half. Moreover, Toyota has long targeted the new energy vehicle market and explored it for many years. From hybrid power to hydrogen fuel cells, Toyota has found many ways to develop new energy vehicles. At the same time, Toyota is now beginning to study in the direction of electric vehicles, and Toyota, which has already begun to exert its strength, cannot be ignored. But for Toyota, a traditional automobile manufacturer, it is obviously far-fetched to turn to the development path of new energy at once. After all, Toyota, which has 654.38+million users every year, cannot easily turn over.
Write it at the end
Undoubtedly, in terms of market value, today's Tesla has achieved a staged victory. However, although it has become the most valuable car company in the world, it is really hard to say whether Tesla's market value is so much. Moreover, compared with a century-old car company like Toyota, Tesla still needs to catch up with the former in terms of production capacity, sales volume and popularity.
