$NIO Inc (NIO.US)$ $Tesla (TSLA.US)$  stock has performed over the last couple of years. That doesn't necessarily mean that NIO's stock will follow the same path, of course. But NIO is the homegrown favorite -- that counts for something in China -- and after a near-rough patch experience early in 2020, it's now flush with cash and scrambling to increase production.

NIO PLANS TO LAUNCH TWO NEW ELECTRIC SEDANS IN 2021, INCLUDING A PRODUCTION VERSION OF THE HANDSOME ET7 SHOW CAR.

It's a safe bet that big sales growth is coming. At least one analyst expects NIO to deliver 100,000 vehicles next year, up from probably about 45,000 this year. Given NIO's production plans, I think that's a reasonable expectation, maybe even a bit conservative -- and I think it's also reasonable to expect big growth for at least the next several years after that.
