Is the value of Tesla going to catch up with Apple?
This month, Tesla announced its 2014 financial data, which was an increase of 297.3% over the previous year's loss of $294.04 million compared to the 2013 net loss of $74.04 million. In terms of revenue, Tesla achieved US$3.1927 billion (US$319,272.3 million) in 2014, up 59.8% from the US$1.9978 billion (US$199,788.6 million) in 2013.
Shortly after the earnings report, Tesla CEO Elon Musk said that revenue will rise to $6 billion in 2015, almost doubling from 2014; and on the market value of Tesla in 2025, Musk expects Revenue will achieve an average annual growth rate of 50%, and the price-to-equity will reach 20.
According to Musk, it believes that by 2025 Tesla's market value will reach 700 billion US dollars, basically the same as IT giant Apple. According to Tesla's latest share price, its current market capitalization is about $25.9 billion. After the "Tesla whirlwind" in 2013, the company's share price growth slowed significantly.
In contrast, Tesla has skyrocketed from 2013 to the first half of 2014. In February 2014, Tesla announced a huge Gigabit battery factory plan to build the largest lithium battery capacity in history. At that time, Morgan Stanley even set Tesla's final share price to be at $320. Tesla's share price soared to around $250, making the market value exceed $30 billion, and Musk's personal wealth increased by $1.1 billion overnight.

In 2015, operating expenses will increase by 45% to 50% to reach $1.07 billion.

PA6 is a kind of nylon material. Nylon (Nylon), Chinese name polyamide, English name Polyamide (referred to as PA), is the general term for thermoplastic resins containing repeated amide groups on the main molecular chain.
PA6 characteristics: This material has the most superior comprehensive performance, including mechanical strength, stiffness, toughness, mechanical shock absorption and wear resistance. These properties, combined with good electrical insulation and chemical resistance, make nylon 6 a "general purpose" material for the manufacture of mechanical structural and serviceable parts.
