Tesla shares traded past $1000 on Monday on news that Hertz will buy 100’000 of its electric cars before the end of 2022. With the latest surge, Tesla is now a trillion-dollar company, and accounts for more than 40% of the global market share of the entire auto industry, not only the electric cars. This jaw-dropping divergence in valuation brings about the question of whether it is time to step up holdings in other carmakers stepping on gas for electrification as well.
