Starting from Tesla, we walked the supply graph hop by hop to the goods you buy and the companies you own. Each step is the engine’s reasoning, scored for confidence and cited where a source backs it.
First impact
Tesla →supply upelectric trucksTSLA
Tesla’s high-volume Semi launch directly increases available supply of electric trucks, with the company saying the new plant can build 50,000 per year.
“Tesla officially launched high-volume production of the Tesla Semi last night at its new dedicated factory in Nevada, a plant it says can build 50,000 electric trucks per year.”
96% confidenceCited →Vehicles and light trucks →Prices riseLithium-ion battery cells (prismatic, cylindrical, pouch)
The Semi is a battery-electric heavy truck, so a high-volume production ramp directly increases cell demand and should push battery-cell costs upward.

Automotive-grade semiconductors (MCUs, SoCs, power devices) →Stands to benefitRenesas Electronics6723.T
Renesas has the largest listed share of automotive-grade semiconductor supply, so higher Tesla Semi production should lift demand for its parts most.
79% confidenceAdvanced high-strength steel (AHSS) and ultra-HSS sheets →Stands to benefitHigher Tesla Semi output should raise demand for AHSS and ultra-HSS sheets, and Cleveland-Cliffs has the largest listed supply share on this edge set, so it is a likely beneficiary.

South Korea →Shortage riskHigh-Bandwidth Memory (HBM3/HBM3E)
South Korea supplies 80% of global HBM3/HBM3E, so a production halt there sharply tightens availability of that memory.
95% confidenceSouth Korea →Shortage riskHBM (High Bandwidth Memory) Stack
South Korea supplies 79% of global HBM stacks, so a production halt there materially constrains supply.
95% confidenceSouth Korea →Shortage riskSouth Korea supplies 75% of GDDR graphics memory, so a halt there directly reduces available supply.
