Tesla's market value is going through the roof.

Are car manufacturers like VW, BMW and Co. already left behind?

Elon Musk encourages German manufacturers in the crisis.

Munich - Tesla is on the wave of success.

And it is currently making positive headlines almost every week, at least from the perspective of the booming electrical pioneer.

Not only that the US carmaker was able to climb the top of new registrations in Europe in September.

A few days ago it was also announced that Tesla had landed a mega-deal with the car rental company Hertz, which will flush many more millions of US dollars into the already bulging company accounts.

Tesla boss Elon Musk bags a mega deal

The mega-deal boosted the stock.

The paper broke the $ 1,000 mark a few days ago.

As the first automaker, Tesla has cracked the sound barrier of one trillion US dollars * in terms of market value.

But why is Tesla * able to continue its upswing at a time when the global auto industry has problems with production due to the stagnating semiconductor supplies from Asia and manufacturers such as VW *, BMW * or Mercedes cannot build millions of vehicles?

The US electric car specialist appears to be immune to the chip crisis, which seems to have two main reasons *.

Tesla boss with bitter-sweet praise

When asked about the next sales milestone in Europe, Elon Musk responded on Twitter with praise in the direction of the German carmaker: The 50-year-old posted a tweet in which he attested the traditional brands here to have a "great talent" and predicts that they will be would "recover strongly" from the current crisis.

In addition, the Tesla mogul lets know that his auto empire will soon even be a German car manufacturer, and by that he means the new Gigafactory near Berlin in Grünheide.

So, Tesla will soon be a German car manufacturer.

But even if the semiconductor shortage is causing problems for the largest car company in Europe to date - and that will remain Volkswagen for the time being - the Wolfsburg-based company is apparently hitting a nerve with the new electric car models.
