What happened

• 4.94 shares purchased
• Used trading platform Stake
○ Allows US stock trades
○ Low fees (AUD to US is always rough)
○ Great mobile app

Is now the right time to invest
• Disclaimer: This is my experience, not investing advice
• I've covered the company for years, I've reviewed Teslas, I bought a Model 3 and now I own their stock.
• Tesla went public in 2010 for less than $20 per share and in the with Model 3/Model Y in the past 2 years has rocketed to $850+
• I paid USD $837.74 per share, but when you see what Tesla has coming, it's clear they're just getting started:
• Giga Berlin
• Giga Texas
• Cybertruck
• Tesla Semi
• Full-self driving
○ Sell to owners
○ 20-30% cut of rides

Conflict of interest
• Disclosure is now added to author bio on every post of techAU.com.au, won't change my coverage.
