$Tesla Motors(TSLA)$ It’s interesting to watch the politically motivated haters get skewered by the reality that Tesla is the new $Apple(AAPL)$ . It’s a bit different inasmuch as it’s apples and cars but the genius of Musk is driving Tesla in much the same way Steve Jobs’ genius drove Apple. Optimus is going to be one of the hottest products to ever hit the market and Tesla is the only humanoid robot company with the production capacity needed to make it a commercial success.

The global business isn't in quite the trouble it seems to be in the United States. Just be sure to look a bit off the beaten path.There's no denying that President Donald Trump isn't as supportive of electric vehicles (EVs) as his recent predecessors were. Then again, U.S. consumers' interest in EVs hasn't exactly remained robust either.

Let's take a look at which stock is the better buy right now.Tesla: Looking toward the futur

It’s good to be back.I had an awesome holiday in South Korea, getting my annual dose of Kpop and Korean food (I am all Kimchi-ed out now).This week, I am looking into the troubles in the Chinese electric vehicle (EV) industry as EV players have once again cut prices.Could $BYD Co., Ltd.(BYDDY)$ actually be building a nightmare?“Right this way, Mrs Chin. This is the newest EV model by Great Wall Motor. We have recently cut the price by 10%”Mrs Chin, like many Chinese consumers, just glances over. She then folds her arm and say, “Can you go cheaper? BYD’s one is 20% lower. If not, I will just go next door”The salesman holds his tongue, smiles and takes out a a list of prices, “Just for you, Madam, we are willing to cut by 25% for you.”China’s elect
