Tesla (TSLA) May Start Limited Gigafactory Production in H116 - Global Equities

Global Equities affirms its Overweight rating and $385 price target on Tesla (Nasdaq: TSLA) and offers commentary following earlier news that the company secured lithium suppliers.

Analyst Trip Chowdhry noted the following points:

• GigaFactory is the key strategic differentiator for TSLA, and this announcement indicates that in 1H'2016, some limited production of Batteries may commence at the GigaFactory
• TSLA is creating loosely coupled "eCosystems" with strongly coupled "sub-systems", and GigaFactory is only one of the many instantiations of it, and sadly the competition GM, AUDI, BMW, Mercedes Benz, Honda, Toyota etc are completely clueless
• None of the existing Auto manufacturers have the intellectual capacity to build their own GigaFactories or TeraFactories; and without a GigaFactory, none of the current auto manufacturers have any chance of winning against TSLA
• Current automobile manufacturers are making the classical incumbent error..."Assuming that the Past successes will guide them into future"
