The bullish calls from the prominent analysts have been adding to the bull-run.

Loup Ventures’ Gene Munster claims that it’s just the beginning of the rally as he believes shares of the largest electric vehicle producer surge another 300% to $2,500 in the following three years. Munster says other auto companies are lagging behind Tesla when it comes to electric vehicles.
