Japan may ban sale of new petrol-powered vehicles in mid-2030s

"The move would follow Prime Minister Yoshihide Suga's pledge in October for Japan to slash carbon emissions to zero on a net basis by 2050 and make the country the second G7 nation to set a deadline for phasing out petrol vehicles in a little over two weeks."

Why ppl keep asking about Tesla cars? Most current car owners will still not be able to afford one even if it's exempted from the carbon tax. But all other tax and coe still applies. Electric cars are not cheap to buy. Another issue is govt wants to reduce car population, wants ppl to take bus and train. Train is already electric. Unless Tesla can produce electric bus then maybe govt will take notice. Tesla cars, they already said the company is selling a lifestyle, which in simple terms out of reach for many ppl. If you are so into electric vehicles, take train.

Tesla will never take off in spore.  I agree with you its not for people earning a decent wage. Moreover the infrastructure could take decades to be on par with other pro ev countries.

USD75k is niche market.

I am waiting for more players to get into the mass market EV game. Will they kill Tesla?  Tesla's EV technology may be better now but it is not something the rest of the world cannot catch up with in due course. The economies of scale in battery production also can't fight the Chinese once mass adoption takes place.

Tesla's model of building the entire ecosystem is also challenging for markets beyond North America. 

Is Tesla overvalued?  

Anyone with insights, please share your thoughts.

Tesla business goes beyond EV.

It also sells home battery for renewable energy.

I think it is valued based on potential sales in China.

Can Tesla fight the Chinese on home ground In the long term with Chinese mobile giants asked to delist from USA? 😅

I was told by an engineer and investor many years ago the EV technology of the Europeans are pretty advanced too but Tesla is beating them in countries like Norway. Why?

With Alibaba being investigated for antitrust, it will be interesting to see how long is Tesla Honeymoon period

They may have the technology, but are more interested in pushing diesel cars instead, until VW got caught with its emission scandal. Throughout this, Tesla has been increasing its production volume, no doubt helped by its charismatic CEO capturing the public's imagination on mobility for the next generation. The Europeans may have been caught on a wrong footing, but looking at the new EV models to be released this year, one can be sure they're back with a vengeance to take back their market share.

Electric cars rise to record 54per cent market share in Norway in 2020

Seeking to become the first nation to end the sale of petrol and diesel cars by 2025, oil-producing Norway exempts fully electric vehicles from taxes imposed on those relying on fossil fuels.

Wah...no road tax for EVs in Norway. No wonder 54% market share.

Volkswagen's Audi brand topped the 2020 leaderboard with its e-tron sports utility and sportsback vehicles as the most sold new passenger cars in Norway last year, while Tesla's mid-sized Model 3, the 2019 winner, was relegated to second place.

Tesla kenna overtaken by Audi in Norway.  :we-all-gonna-die:
