@Sean McLean : 2023年及今年初,电动汽车销量增速放缓,行业曾盲目乐观,高估了消费者需求。洛杉矶地区电动汽车经销商库存过剩,预示着行业问题。电动汽车价格高昂,与燃油车相比缺乏价格竞争力,充电不便和充电成本高也是障碍。除非价格下降1.5万美元,否则销售将持续低迷。更实惠的车型将在2026年或2027年上市,这可能改变市场格局。即使有税收抵免,大多数电动汽车制造商仍然亏损,只有少数公司盈利。特斯拉在美国电动汽车市场份额下降,其核心业务面临盈利能力、营收和单车价格的压力,其估值很大程度上取决于其在机器人和人工智能领域的押注。埃隆·马斯克表示,未来特斯拉将销售价格低廉的无人驾驶汽车,不再配备方向盘。 中国在电动汽车的软件定义、价格和生产效率方面领先全球,小米等中国公司快速进入电动汽车市场,令其他汽车制造商感到担忧。比亚迪从电池制造商发展成为全球电动汽车行业的竞争者,对特斯拉构成挑战。Rivian汽车具有强大的越野性能和公路性能,但价格昂贵,销量不足导致亏损,与大众汽车合作以提高生产规模和降低成本。未来将出现更多续航里程更长的插电式混合动力电动汽车。 我密切关注Rivian和特斯拉的发展,前者关注其产品和市场策略,后者关注其在自动驾驶领域的押注。特斯拉押注自动驾驶汽车的未来,但其成功与否存在疑问。 @Ben Cohen : 电动汽车价格高昂,与燃油车相比缺乏价格竞争力,充电不便和充电成本高也是障碍。特斯拉的市值上涨更多地与其CEO埃隆·马斯克与当选总统的关系有关,而非其自身业务表现。
