Ark Invest is increasing its 5-year Tesla price target to over $6000 per share.
They are now assuming that 37 million electric cars, trucks and SUVs will be sold in 2024. They had assumed that Tesla’s 17% market share for electric cars would decrease to 11%. They now believe Tesla will not lose market share. It is even possible that they will forecast that Tesla will grow its market share.
Tesla maintaining 17% global market share is a forecast that Tesla will sell about 6.3 million cars in 2024.
This would be about 77% year over year growth in Tesla sales volume from 2019 until 2024.

For over 100 years, the auto industry has enjoyed an 85% learning curve – which has translated into a 15% cost decline with every cumulative doubling of units produced.
Tesla has made a total of about 800,000 electric cars by the end of 2019.
6.3 million cars at $40,000 per car would be $252 billion in annual revenue.
By 2024, Tesla should be able to build electric cars at about half its current costs. Tesla has about 21% margin on its $50,000 cars. This means Tesla cars currently have a cost of about $40,000. Tesla would be able to have costs of $19,000 in 2024. This would mean 33% margin on cars selling at $30,000. Tesla would have net income in the range of $50 billion. The level of profit and net income would depend upon how much is being spent for capital to build more factories and to launch new products.
If earnings were $50 billion in 2024 and growth was still that strong then the PE could be 50. This mean Tesla would be worth about $2.5 trillion in 2024. Maintaining strong growth and even higher earnings and PE would mean Tesla could achieve $4 trillion in stock value. This is just what utter domination of electric cars, batteries, and solar roofs would mean. There could also be the self-driving taxi service revenue as well.
Tesla will also have sales in energy storage, solar roofs, semi-trucks, software and service revenues. The additional non-car products could add 30 or more to Tesla revenue in 2024.
A forecast made at Hyperchart trends out to $180 billion in revenue for Tesla in 2024. Ark Invest could project nearly double the revenue in this Hyperchart for Tesla in 2024.
