Remember that the 12th of May 2020 was the height of the pandemic when Donald Trump tweeted: “California must let Tesla and @elonmusk open the plant, NOW. This can be done quickly and safely! And that’s at a time when all the major car factories were closed. Who lobbies and promotes who? Whose project is this? Recall that in 2016, Elon became Trump’s advisor.
TESLA shares (ticker: TSLA) are favorite shares of securities speculators for the last couple of years. Traders invest in stocks not only due to the huge number of pre-orders, which exceeded the total pre-orders of the world giants GMC, Toyota, but also due to Trump’s promises to subsidize the corporation on a large scale. As we can see, the stocks have almost recovered in a month after a strong decline, so let us remind you that the whole market is at its lowest level at the same time.
In the 6 month chart, we compare Tesla shares that gained 126%, Toyota shares that fell 15.24%, Ford shares that fell 36.90%, US market index S&P 500 that fell 4.40%. Everything is falling and Tesla is growing and is not going to stop.
As for sales during COVID-19, in March 2020, sales in the world’s largest car market (China) amounted to 10,160 cars, compared to January in 2,620 cars, according to the China Passenger Car Association (CPCA).
