Why $TSLA?

We’ve built this amazing massive global economy

You can get anything you want from around the world.

But… there’s one big issue. It’s all based on cars and trucks that pollute the air. It’s all based on fossil fuels.

It’s not sustainable. It can’t last @elonmusk

Nobody really wants to talk about this, but if we continue growing indefinitely with this system forever, it will eventually come grinding to a halt.

When we can’t breathe air in our cities, when the climate changes, when oil gets hard to find.

Tesla was designed to fix it.

How?

By building a shit ton of battery packs.

That’s what Tesla does. They mass produce massive numbers of battery packs.

The car is a battery pack with electric motors.

They sell battery packs for your homes.

And large utility scale battery packs for renewables.

Tesla’s vision to reshape the infrastructure that underpins the global economy is this:

Take renewable energy, like wind and solar.

Store it in massive utility batteries

Use Virtual Power Plant software to store it in people’s home batteries and car batteries.

Charge cars

Renewable is great, but the sun doesn’t always shine. The wind doesn’t always blow.

But if you store the energy in battery packs, borrow extra capacity from all the electric cars and homes… you can run a renewable power plant 24/7 and replace fossil fuels completely.

With electric cars and trucks powered by clean energy, we can grow our economy guilt free. Growth no longer means destroying the earth.

Unlike oil which is burned, batteries can be recycled for their metals — which is actually cheaper than mining & refining new metals.

There’s just one last problem — we would have to wait a long time to replace all polluting cars and trucks with electric. Tesla doesn’t like to wait.

So they created Autopilot.

This will allow us to share the clean vehicles we do have, accelerating the transition by a decade

And did I mention Tesla cars are the most fun you’ve ever had? Go give them a try if you haven’t.

Morons laugh and say Tesla is all a joke, a fraud.

But people who’ve really looked into it know this is a once in a generation foundational economic transition.

Don’t sleep on $TSLA.

This company is making foundational improvements to the entire global economy, and it’s bigger than any of us can imagine.

I believe in @elonmusk and his team. They’ve forced the entire industry to get moving.

And it’s beautiful to watch.
