Tesla's performance - that of passing the threshold of $ 1 billion capitalization - is due to the largest order ever received by Elon Musk's company.Hertz car rental company ordered 100,000 cars for a total amount of $ 4.2 billion.The information pushed Tesla's action in the New York Stock Exchange.On Monday evening, the action was listed by over $ 1,024, up 12 percent compared to Friday.
In an interview with the Reuters Agency, the general manager Hertz states that this command refers to the Tesla Model 3 car and the deliveries will take place at the end of next year.In order to attract amateurs, Hertz customers will be able to rent several such cars starting next month in the main US agencies and in several European cities.
Thanks to this order, electric vehicles will represent 20% of the fleet of about 450,000 vehicles proposed for hertz rental.In order to cope with the needs, Hertz began to install thousands of uploading sockets throughout his network.In addition, customers who will rent Tesla Model 3 will have access to 3,000 super-loaders in the US and Europe.
We remind that the company Hertz, at the origin of the record now registered by Tesla - and Elon Musk, whose fortune increased by $ 25 billion - is far from.Due to the Covid Pandemic, the society had entered last year, in May, under the protection of the law of bankruptcy.Protection from which it only recently came out in July.
On the other hand, Tesla has also prevailed in the European standings as it became the best-selling car in Europe.Model 3, marketed starting with 38,000 euros, has surpassed much cheaper models such as Renault Clio and Dacia Sandero, so far leaders in this ranking.
The explanation of this success is explained by the fact that the market of new cars has diminished by 25% compared to September 2020. Even though gasoline models continue to dominate, electrified or hybrid models - are increasingly sought after.They registered a monthly increase of 44% while sales of diesel cars decreased by 51 percent.
In this context, Tesla, which sold 500,000 cars last year, could reach the threshold of 900,000 units at the end of 2021 and target 1.4 million cars next year, thanks to the new factories in Shanghai, Texas and Berlin.
