As of February 4, 65438, Tesla's market value has reached US$ 567.830 billion, making it the world's most valuable car company. Toyota ranked second with a market value of 1933438+03 billion dollars. Tesla even surpassed the sum of Toyota, GM and Ford, surpassed Buffett's company, and was second only to technology giants Apple, Microsoft, Amazon, Alphabet and Facebook. Why did Tesla, which was founded just 17 years ago, achieve such results? The most important reason is that Tesla is not a car company that exists in the traditional car-making mode, but a company that plays with technology. Tesla's core strengths are its clean energy and intelligent technologies, including solar roof tiles, solar panels, clean energy storage, automatic driving full-stack depth neural network, artificial intelligence and so on. Musk even owns the world's best space exploration technology company, Space Exploration Technology Company. These are the future development directions and the focus of people's attention. Building a car is only a part of it, so the interest of capital in it has created its high market value.
Back to the automotive field, Toyota has a history of nearly 90 years, and its products are various, including fuel, hybrid, pure electricity, hydrogen and other energy types, including cars, SUVs, MPVs, sports cars, pickup trucks, buses and so on. Lexus es, Camry, Highlander, Asia Dragon, RAV4 and Corolla have been fully recognized by the market in terms of sales volume, word of mouth and hedge ratio. Last year, Toyota's annual sales reached more than 65.438+0074 million vehicles, and passenger car sales ranked second in the world, with sales of 275.3 billion US dollars.
Tesla's product category is quite simple, and its core Model model? 3. Model? S, model? X, model? Y and other models. In 2065438+2009, Tesla sold 368,000 vehicles annually, with sales of $24.6 billion. The target sales volume in 2020 is only 500,000 vehicles. According to the data, regardless of sales volume or amount, Tesla is not an opponent of traditional car companies such as Toyota, and the gap is not a little bit. Therefore, it is reasonable for Toyota to express dissatisfaction.
Zhang Nan, president of Toyota, compared Toyota and Tesla to "kitchen" and "chef", saying that their business is like a restaurant selling recipes, while Toyota is more like a restaurant that is already serving a large number of customers. He also said: "They (Tesla) are still selling recipes, and the chef said that our recipes will become the world standard in the future. Toyota has a real kitchen and a chef. We cook real food. Some customers are very picky about what they eat. They have already sat in front of us and eaten our food. "
At present, more than 12 countries and 25 regions around the world have designated a timetable for prohibiting the sale of fuel-powered vehicles. For example, in Norway in 2025, Britain in 2030, California, Canada, France, Seoul, South Korea and other countries or regions, the time to ban the sale of fuel vehicles is between 2030 and 2040. New energy vehicles will undoubtedly become the future development direction of the world. Not only Tesla, but also our shares of Weilai, Ideality and Xpeng Motors have soared collectively, and their market value has reached a new high, all of which are related to their Internet genes, technologies and business models. By February 4th, 65438, the market value of Weilai exceeded $58 billion, that of Tucki exceeded $50 billion, and the ideal market value exceeded $25.5 billion. I'm glad to see their great progress. It is reported that they are still at a loss.
It can be seen that traditional car companies and technology companies like Tesla are taking different paths. Now more and more traditional car companies are increasing their firepower to develop new energy vehicles. Some people say that there will be no Tesla when traditional car companies start to join the war of new energy. Do you agree with this view? Let's talk about our own views.
