Tesla continues to show strong quarterly results, which gives investors confidence in it. The company is expected to launch two new factories in 2021, significantly increasing its production capacity. Tesla is also continuing to develop its battery business, which will give it a very large competitive edge. In addition, the company is improving its Full Self-Driving (FSD), striving to make its vehicles fully autonomous. This will open the way for super-profits, thanks to both the sale of FSD and its subscriptions, and the opportunity to launch the Robotaxi network.
