Tesla’s Q3 2018 vehicle creation and delivery record revealed that the electrical vehicle maker set new documents once more. Over the span of the third quarter, Tesla made a total of 80,142 vehicles and delivered a total of 83,500 cars. Model 3 deliveries and production were at 53,239 and 55,840, meeting Tesla’s ambitious self-imposed targets. These results seem to have amazed Wall Street, with billionaire investor Ron Baron lately sharing his positive prediction on the provider.
In a section on CNBC‘s Squawk Box, Ron Baron of Baron Capital noted that he considers Tesla is headed towards even more growth. Baron’s firm, that has $28.3 billion in funds under management, holds 1.65 million TSLA stocks. The Wall Street seasoned noted that he considers Tesla’s electrical Vehicle and battery storage business will probably be worth $500 billion per year by 2030, giving the company an estimated total market cap of $1 trillion at the next 11 years.
“I think that it might be a $500 billion battery company, $500 billion automobile business. I give that greater than 50-50 possibility. I think this will be the largest automobile company. I think they’re likely to get 10 million cars, 15 million cars sold per year eventually,” he said.

The billionaire investor further noted that Tesla is closing in on being self-funding, particularly since the expenses of batteries are expected to fall over the upcoming few decades. Baron’s insights into Tesla’s sustainability were finally shared by Wall Street analyst Romit Shah out of Nomura Instinet. While speaking at a section in Bloomberg Daybreak: Americas, Shah reported that with Q3’s results, Tesla appears set to become profitable.
“I think they’re certainly sustainable. In fact, I would expect that deliveries continue to gain in the fourth quarter and in the next calendar year. Remember; they haven’t even started leasing the Model 3, which is the way most customers prefer to fund their vehicle. They haven’t started shipping the Model 3 overseas in Europe and China. So, I still think there so a great deal of runways to allow them to grow,” Nomura stated.
The Nomura Instinet analyst further stated that he considers Tesla’s delivery and production amounts in the third quarter might be the point where the business could break-even to a money basis awaiting.

“I think that they ’re there today. Whether they’re at a slight profit or at a slight loss this past year, I think you’re considering it . 80,000+ deliveries a quarter should make them break , and at the fourth quarter, if they’re able to raise deliveries, which we think, nearer to say100,000, then I think that this business is gonna be rewarding and probably sustainably so,” Shah said.
It remains to be seen if Tesla did reach its goal of getting profitable this Q3, though Elon Musk failed state in an email to workers over the weekend that the business is “close” to profitability. That saidthe Nomura analyst’s point about Tesla having opportunities to increase the Model 3’s marketplace stands consistent with the firm ’s announcement in its own Q3 delivery and production report, which likewise stated leasing and overseas markets.
“Our Q3 Model 3 deliveries were confined to higher-priced variants, cash/loan transactions, and North American clients only. There remain significant opportunities to increase the addressable market for Model 3 by introducing leasing, standard battery and other lower-priced variants of the vehicle, and by starting global deliveries,” Tesla wrote.
