FOUR THOUGHTS FOR THE DAY 20210501

1. We are already in a period of automobile Supply Shortage relative to Natural Demand

That Supply Shortage has the potential to total up to as much as 600 million vehicles during the 15 years through 2034 Image
2. This 600 million vehicle Supply shortfall will represent a huge portion of the Global Vehicle Fleet, which is only around 1,500 million vehicles today

- and it will be due to Battery Supply limitations Image
3. One consequence of this lack of new vehicles may be to raise the value and longevity of Used Vehicles during those "Supply Shortage Years" beyond what many of us are expecting Image
4. Another consequence of this huge Supply Shortage of up to 600 million vehicles is that New Car prices should become much stronger for those vehicles that do make it to market

- and we may see a sustained period of Supply Overshoot to correct for the long period of shortages Image
IS THIS THE BEGINNING OF A GOLDEN AGE OF AUTOMOBILES ?

- it certainly may be for those who equip themselves well enough to benefit from it . . .

AUTOMAKERS LOOKING REALITY IN THE FACE

1. Semiconductor chips appeared to be a minor "commodity" item in the manufacturing of automobiles

- but now that automakers cannot get them entire production lines and massive supply chains are grinding to a halt
2. Now put those automakers into the BEV world of the future, where they discover that they cannot get enough supply of battery cells

- enough cell capacity was not planned ahead

- the planned capacity does not ramp up as fast as they thought
- and production quality problems means that yields are lower than the headline capacity that was announced

This is reality and it already held back Tesla's growth in prior years

Now apply it to the entire Legacy Auto industry

TESLA CAPACITY MAPS FOR 2021

Ahead of the 2021 Q1 Earning Report next week, here are our Capacity Maps that estimate the Scheduled Production Capacity for each quarter of the current year based on the expected shift crews

We have upgraded to format to show more information

Q1
Q1 shows 179,688 which was very close to to 180,338 units actually produced

Q2 shows 234,375 units

One uncertainty is the output of Model S / Model X after restart this month

If we conservatively allow only 50% of 25,000 units that would lower the total by -12,500

= 222,875
Q3 shows 276,563 units

One uncertainty is the start date for GF4 in Brandenburg

- this is 14,063 units in the above number

Another uncertainty is the ramp rate for GF5 in Austin

- this is 14,063 units in the above number

We could adjust by -14,063 and -7,031 = -21,094 units
