Part 9/13:
Speculation about potential stock buybacks has intensified, fueled by Tesla unveiling its new V4 supercharger with features like contactless payment and integrated screens. Some investors interpret this as a possible signal of Tesla’s readiness to repurchase its shares, although other explanations exist, such as expanding payment options or enhancing charging infrastructure.
Tesla is also exploring asset-backed bonds, aiming to simplify lease and loan package securitization. This financial strategy could improve liquidity, offer favorable borrowing rates, or provide cash reserves to fund multiple factory projects simultaneously—such as in Mexico, India, and previously discussed plans for a Spanish gigafactory.
