but if RGM eventually invest £400,000 in Tesla car rental firm 'White car ltd' they'll acquire a 5.8% stake in White car limited but searching online a brand new Tesla car costs between £70,000-£80,000. So for £400,000 RGM could've had a fleet of 5-6 brand new Tesla cars and ran a car rental business themselves. So to me a potential £400,000 investment for a 5.8% stake in 'white car ltd' doesn't seem like a great deal to me. Though i'm sure others will disagree.
And in yesterdays RNS Bell gives this strange reasoning for investing in 'White car ltd': : "Regency has a presence in nickel and cobalt through its large Mineral Resource at Mambare. These metals are two of the key electric car battery and battery storage metals, and we need to increase our understanding of this driver of the now recovering nickel market. If we are to understand trends, understand the technology, understand where the value is being created, and adapt, we have to dive deep into the technologies and uses of this changing marketplace. EsTeq was established to enable Regency through a small independently managed business to engage with the battery development ecosystem in ways that will directly support our nickel/cobalt operations and development. In White Car, exceptionally, we have taken a stake in an already developing business as we saw this as a one-off investment opportunity into a company with an unusually good window onto key trends in the EV market and battery material usage, and a clear value development strategy"

If you wanted to get a greater understanding then instead of wasting £400,000 then why didn't you take a collage course?
