As the richest man on the planet, Musk led Tesla to sweep the world, and even "rushed out" of the earth, it can be said that the much-anticipated "Tesla" is truly deserved. So now we all have to know the truth: how "perverted" Tesla really is. Tesla's current market capitalization is $1.06 trillion, not only becoming the world's first trillion-dollar automaker to break the trillion-dollar market value early in October this year, but also surpassing the combined market capitalization of 11 traditional auto giants including Volkswagen, General Motors, Ford, Honda and so on ($807 billion).
If you still have no concept of the market value of trillions of dollars, then compared with traditional fuel vehicle companies, it is equivalent to the market value of four Toyota cars, the market value of eight Volkswagen groups, and if you want to compare with the country, it even exceeds the national GDP of Saudi Arabia.
Looking only at China, Tesla sold a total of 499,500 cars in China last year, which is equivalent to 1,368 people choosing Tesla every day. It can be seen how "love" the Chinese people have for Tesla, or for Tesla's "fire" new energy vehicles! What is the reason for this? And why has only Tesla been able to do it so far? So today Xiaobian will give the riders an analysis, Tesla as a technology-based enterprise, it not only brings a "subversion" of the automotive industry, but also creates a complete ecological chain.
First of all, Tesla does not make money by selling cars, because its fully autonomous driving system FSD and assisted driving system can also make money, you buy its car, just like buying a "smart terminal" that can be continuously upgraded, of course, the more functions, the higher the degree of intelligence, the higher the cost.
Second, Tesla also began to sell insurance. It has established its own car insurance system in the United States, similar to some of our domestic new energy captive insurance. As for why you want to sell insurance, that is, "others" are not willing to "play" with you, then "play" yourself, because traditional insurance companies feel that electric vehicles are not safe, and the insurance premium charged to car owners is relatively high; so Tesla wants to eliminate their concerns about buying a car by providing customers with lower premiums.
In addition, Tesla's own insurance has an advantage: Tesla can count the driving habits of car owners according to a large number of vehicle upload data, and give different insurance prices, such as your driving habits are very poor, your premium will be very high, or you drive very smoothly and safely, then the premium will become lower, and Tesla insurance will definitely be implemented in the future.
Finally, Tesla is also the car company with the highest gross profit margin of the whole vehicle, as high as 28.5%, while the gross profit margin of traditional car companies such as Toyota Volkswagen is generally only about 18%, which is 10 points higher. That is to say, Tesla's cost control is very good, which will be incomparable to traditional fuel vehicle companies.
Tesla's high gross profit margin is actually for two reasons: First, the use of new car-making technology. Tesla's one-piece die-cast body is called "a revolution in automotive body engineering" by Musk, this technology can make most of the frame of the current Tesla SUV model Model Y body "assembled" into a large piece, so that the casting parts from more than 70 to 1-2, not only greatly improve the stability of the body structure, more lightweight, but also reduce the assembly cost. Proud of the one-piece die-casting machine tesla uses is China's domestic brand Lijin Technology, which has reduced the cost of the Model Y by 20%.
Second, localization. It can be said that the Tesla gigafactory located in the Lingang Industrial Zone of Shanghai has basically achieved localization, such as batteries from the Ningde era and various large and small suppliers, so that it also costs the "American brand" of domestic cars, and even exports to foreign countries.
So do you think such a Tesla car company and its model will be your first preferred model, or the "ideal type" for the next car change? Pay attention to the small editor, the next small editor will analyze the "disadvantages" of Tesla and new energy vehicles and some places that are not worth buying. In the end, whether to buy or not, after reading you are making a decision.
