Tesla is qualitatively different from other automakers. Having created a fashion for electric cars and producing them, they secured their success. By many criteria, Tesla's electric cars are the most desirable among all. March sales reports show strong consumer interest despite the pandemic.

China is the largest car market in the world and it shows a strong interest in Tesla vehicles. The state encourages citizens to buy electric cars, but among all those on the country's market, only Tesla is the undisputed leader.

Cars are not the only company revenue. Those areas in which Tesla works are developing right now, and in the near future they will bring more and more income, and the company's value will grow even more intensively.
