More about stock diversification ... if you look at many sectors, you often find one huge winner and many other also rans. It's pretty obvious at this point that the
automotive (not just EV) winner is going to be Tesla. I think 2023 is the year that Tesla will be the biggest North American auto manufacture in terms of cars manufactured ... bigger than GM or Ford. And their margins are incredible. Tesla is now a world leader in volume manufacturing across any industry.
Meanwhile, let's look at the stock price of the
best two EV startups for the last three months:

Both Rivian and Lucid have yet to prove that they can ramp to even 20,000 units a year, let alone the huge real volume leap that Tesla made with Model 3 at 200,000+/year. Both companies are making mistakes, Rivian with their pricing snaffus (not raising their prices early enough and then deciding to keep them low for the first 55,000 customers, forgoing $1B in cash), and Lucid with their tiny market (their cars are really expensive).
And then, never forget what Elon just recently said, "I've never been so bullish on Tesla that I am today". Yikes. Add that to his oft stated observation that Telsa is a collection of growth startups, not just an auto manufacturer, and you do think that 3x valuation is right around the corner.
