TESLA STOCK PREPARING FOR LIFTOFF / NEW TESLA STEERING WHEEL / S&P TALKS TESLA INVESTMENT GRADE

EV Channels Review

This video from Electrified covers several key developments for Tesla and its stock. A significant portion is dedicated to the potential for TSLA to achieve an investment-grade credit rating from S&P, a move that could significantly broaden its investor base, drawing parallels to Apple's stock performance post-upgrade. The reviewer highlights Tesla's strong financial metrics as justification for this potential upgrade. Additionally, the video discusses Tesla's ongoing legal battles regarding direct sales, noting that while Tesla has seen some favorable rulings, these often do not set precedents for other states. A notable rumor suggests upcoming Model 3 and Y vehicles might adopt a capacitive steering wheel with touch turn signals, similar to the Model S/X, and remove traditional stalks. The expansion of the Fremont factory for battery manufacturing equipment and Hertz's fleet of Model Ys with upgraded wheels are also mentioned. Finally, a class-action lawsuit concerning 'phantom braking' is briefly touched upon, alongside Lucid's shelf offering, which is contrasted with Tesla's historical capital raising and manufacturing efficiency.
