Q: Do you view Tesla as an auto or tech company? Would you focus on gross margin and production in the quarterly results or would you value the company based on its technology, considering the level of investments in autonomous self driving cars by the traditional auto manufacturers? Will the end game for Tesla is being acquired by a traditional auto manufacturer? Is it a buy for you at this stage?

Q: May I have your thoughts on Tesla? I was considering buying it for a short term trade to try to ride any waive of short covering—the short float seems high at 30% and I assume that there will have to be some degree of covering if the stock continues to recover a bit on good news. Can I have your opinion on such a trade? Thanks.

Q: Do you think the bottom is in on Tesla? Trading way below 200 day moving average, and share issuance just announced should silence concerns of cash crunch for next while.

Q: With regards to cobalt prices, its difficult to get a handle on the scarcity/abundance of the metal. It was supposed to be scarce 2-3 years ago, now it seems every region has some and the prices have drifted off. Co $40-$14 yoy.
So is it scarce like quality gold mines, or abundant like cannibis grow ops (all of us can grow four plants)?
Conversely, lithium prices have gone up historically.
First, since its hard to get accurate info, have I got the price movement right? Then, is it better to invest in lithium companies or cobalt companies going forward with a view of increased electric car sales in the future?
May I have your insight on the space?

Q: With more electric cars coming out I want to invest , but not with the car makers but what supports them. My questions are what companies I can invest in that make the charging stations, batteries , cameras and because these cars do not run on free energy what electrical produces will benefit from the higher demand in power to charge these vehicles.

Q: I just saw Tesla’s Q4 production and deliveries numbers in an article on Cleantechnica. It looks to me like they were excellent and it sounds from coverage I’ve followed that they’ve maintained and grown numbers that impressed in Q3 and also have solved a number of issues in Q4 that should enable better production outcomes in future quarters.
On the end user side, the cars seem to be crushing the competition - Safety ratings are a step change vs. ICE cars and the performance of model 3 seems to beat luxury competitors or at least match with lower Running costs. Data is showing that they are stealing share from competitors rather than cannabilizing Model S and X sales.
My question for 5i: is this becoming a good company to invest in? I still fear the debt but Mr. Musk says they intend to pay it down substantially in the near future. Me. Musk seems to have settled down and recognized his importance to the company and the importance of his behaviour but I do fear that if something horrible happens to him that the stick gets crushed. What are 5i thoughts given the latest?

Q: Hi 5i,
With the market correction, I am looking to add to some positions while things are on sale. I am looking at TSLA, which reposted good results last week and thus the stock started to rise. It also did pretty well today in a negative market. I have read your other answers on TSLA. Has you opinion become more positive after the recent results. Thanks 5i

Q: Hi 5i,
This is a general question but I listed Tesla as an example. I am curious about the influence of shorts on a company's stock movement. I have a friend who says that the price of, say Tesla, is held back by a large number of outstanding short positions. And, ... if the shorts start to be removed, Tesla stock will take off. My own belief is that there are many significant factors on what a stock moves up or down, and I would say, shorts play only a minor role in the price movement. So my question, how significant are the short positions in price movement ?

Q: It looks like electric powered vehicles are an inevitable winner as we continue to struggle with climate change. The need for better batteries to power these vehicles also seems inevitable. It seems like an investment in this trend is a winner. My question is, how would 5i suggest we as members take advantage of this opportunity? Please suggest some areas to focus on and what you consider to be the best companies in each area to invest in. Again, thank-you for your considered opinions.
