“We continue to see some risk that Tesla could materially cut the price of its locally made (MIC)Model Y from 488k RMB (73K) to something in the mid- to high-300k range ($56-58k).This could potentially hurt near-term sentiment and slow NIO’s order book momentum considering it would be a direct competitor to NIO’s EC6 and ES6.”
NIO has acted as a great trading proxy for Tesla given the valuations have historically been highly correlated. However, there is now a massive disconnect with NIO trading at the largest premium to TSLA in history at double the valuation.On NTM EV/Sales, NIO is trading at 17-18x vs. TSLA at 9x.
Moreover, when Tesla was delivering a quarterly run-rate of 15K vehicles similar to NIO today, TSLA had 45% share of the US EV market while NIO faces significant competition today and has 3% share of the Chinese NEV market. Last month,TSLA sold more than double the number of vehicles in China that NIO sold.
