Tesla, the electric vehicle (EV) pioneer, recently unveiled its Q3 2023 delivery figures, causing ripples in the market. While the numbers may have shown a sequential decline, this article aims to shed light on why I, a long-term investor, remain steadfast in my belief that Tesla’s target price of $300 by the end of 2023 remains intact.$Tesla Motors(TSLA)$ 

1. A Closer Look at Tesla’s Delivery Data:

Tesla reported a total of 435,059 deliveries in Q3 2023, accompanied by a total production figure of 430,488 vehicles. These figures represent a sequential decline from the previous quarter, but they merit closer scrutiny. The company attributed this decline to planned downtimes for factory upgrades, a factor discussed during its recent earnings call. Importantly, Tesla reaffirmed its 2023 volume target of approximately 1.8 million vehicles, emphasizing its commitment to long-term growth.

2. The Resilience of Tesla’s Fundamentals:

Despite the headline-grabbing delivery numbers, it’s crucial to recognize that Tesla’s fundamental strengths remain intact. Here’s why:

• Target Price of $300: My target price of $300 for Tesla by the end of 2023 hinges on the company’s strong fundamentals. While short-term delivery fluctuations occur, the core of Tesla’s growth story, driven by innovation, remains unchanged. Tesla is still on track to achieve double-digit revenue growth, a hallmark of a company poised for long-term success.

• Bullish Outlook: I maintain my bullish stance on Tesla for several compelling reasons:

• Cybertruck and Semi Production: Tesla’s imminent production of the Cybertruck and Semi will introduce new revenue streams and strengthen its position in the EV market. These highly anticipated vehicles have the potential to drive significant demand and revenue growth.

• Booming Energy Business: Tesla’s energy business is flourishing, with an exponential rise in demand for sustainable energy solutions. The company’s solar products, energy storage solutions, and electric vehicle charging infrastructure contribute to a diverse revenue stream.

3. Embracing Long-Term Investment Strategies:

Long-term investors understand that market fluctuations are part and parcel of the investment journey. Rather than reacting to short-term noise, I advocate for a measured approach that prioritizes the bigger picture. Tesla’s ability to navigate challenges and emerge stronger over time aligns with the principles of long-term investing.

Conclusion:

While Tesla’s recent delivery numbers have garnered attention, they do not alter the company’s long-term growth trajectory. Tesla’s commitment to innovation, the impending production of the Cybertruck and Semi, and the robust performance of its energy business all contribute to a positive outlook. My target price of $300 by the end of 2023 remains intact, underpinned by Tesla’s unwavering fundamentals.

Investors who share this long-term perspective can seize the potential presented by Tesla’s resilience and innovation.

    If interest rates continue to rise, I expect they will, the EV tax credit will be cancelled. It makes no sense for a the US government to borrow money in three years at 8% to fund the purchasing of electric cars. Higher interest rates will end rebates.

      Fair point! The traditional car makers are facing potential $10.5b in fines under stricter fuel rules.

    Once the big three start paying 20-40% more in wages, plus great benefits packages, how will Tesla keep employees? Tesla will need to increase wages and benefits too. Profit margins decline more.

      I believe Tesla employees will have their own benefits. Pay does not always draw labor across companies

    TSLA going up despite lack of deliveries just shows you how irrational this company is. Retail investors: collect your money before it is too late.

      I beg to differ! Long term investors should stay invested. Time in market beats timing the market!
