Air pollution caused by the burning of fossil fuels such as coal and oil was responsible for 8.7M deaths globally in 2018, a staggering one in five of all people who died that year,
new research has found.
Countries with the most prodigious consumption of fossil fuels to power factories, homes and vehicles are suffering the highest death tolls, with the study finding more than one in 10 deaths in both the US and Europe were caused by the resulting pollution, along with nearly a third of deaths in eastern Asia, which includes China. Death rates in South America and Africa were significantly lower.

Tesla is an unique company with unique purposes:
Apple is only about $1000 iphone from $20 old rotary /button home phone.
Tesla is about multiple New revolutionary/engineering ideas, clean energy & storage..... for the next 10 years. It is an unique leader/game changer from the 100yr old coal/oil pollution. As new product/ideas progress it’s hard to meet forecast/estimates as unexpected issues surface along the way.
It is quite ignorant to use 100yr old valuation P/E for multiple revolutionary/engineering execution
A)Tesla has made sure that electric cars are now available for the masses and not just the affluent. This is one of reasons to reduce sale prices to crush competition with lowest price best performance, $25K Model 2 is the ultimate killer in Nov 2021.
B) Tesla’s purpose is $200B clean energy + storage and EV are affordable to everyone, but it tries to have more earning to calm down the stubborn shorts insisting using 100yr old valuation P/E used by 100yr old dirty coal/oil/gas dinosaurs.
C) Tesla EVs are high end high performance with lowest price to crush competition, so GROWTH is the main goal, high EPS is not an ultimate goal. Tesla keep expanding to Berlin, India, Israel, Pakistan, South Korea, Japan…..
D) A virtuous circle: the higher the stock the more money it can raise, the more money it can raise, the more cars it can build, the more cars they build the higher the profits, therefore the higher the stocks.
Everybody, including stock market, has to include Covid-19 special environment. Budget is tighter; people have to line up for food. Car/EV is a large expenditure next to a house. Reduce price to create more sales and crush competition. Need to explain more?

Tesla could soar over 300%, to $2,500, in the next three year (current forecast to be end of 2022), the venture capitalist and veteran tech analyst Gene Munster
told CNBC on Monday
There's no substance competition - again, they're going to evolve outside of cars longer-term, he said of Tesla.
Tesla could soar another 300% as the company expands its tech outside the auto industry, a prominent VC investor says
