Telsa stock averaged about $350 per share in the 4th quarter

That gives a P/E of 181

A P/E over 15 is considered overvalued for a manufacturing company

For reference:
The P/E for the S&P 500 is 21
The average for the automotive sector is 7.13
Apple is 16.25


VW's P/E is 12. They made 16.2 billion euro last year (EBIT)
