Tesla's third-largest individual shareholder called for an optimistic forecast: more than 1.6 million vehicles

For most companies, at the beginning of the new year, they will expect the company's business situation for the whole year, which can also be said to have set a goal for themselves. On January 20, Zhichepai learned that Liao Kaiyuan, Tesla's third largest individual shareholder and a Chinese billionaire, called on Tesla to release an optimistic forecast for 2022 deliveries at next week's earnings conference.

Liao Kaiyuan said in a tweet: "Due to the macro environment and 13.5 million additional shares outstanding, we can't help but hope that Tesla can boldly guide analysts on January 26, predicting that this year's deliveries will exceed 1.6 million vehicles, and the profit margin will exceed 30%." ”

Liao kaiyuan believes that giving an optimistic number to the outside world may raise Tesla's stock price to a higher level, while also proving that those who doubt Tesla are wrong. Compared with the 1.6 million units proposed by Liao Kaiyuan, the most optimistic forecast for Tesla's deliveries in 2022 is about 1.5 million units. For reference, Tesla previously announced the delivery results for 2021, and Tesla delivered a total of 936172 cars in 2021.

It is worth mentioning that last year, it was reported that Liao Kaiyuan held more than $7 billion in Tesla stock, becoming Tesla's third largest individual shareholder, after Musk and Oracle CEO Larry Ellison.
