Thats not a good analogy. If you take away Teslas stock they are also worthless. Their P/E ratio is like every other tech stock. Awful. I like Elon though he is full of great ideas and is usually a front runner that jump starts a new industry.

I just mean they are a small company. Especially if you give their stock a fair value. But even with their current value of stock they are 132x smaller than Toyota on a net income basis and 429x smaller on a revenue basis lol

Tesla's P/E is 34.5 at the moment. That is overvalued even for a tech stock. Apple is 20.9, Microsoft is 24.9, Alphabet is 17.5

However, Tesla is an auto company not a tech company and auto companies trade at less than 10 P/E

Musk stated the stock was likely overvalued.

The value of Tesla is completely dependent on how successful they are with autonomous driving. Any major automotive manufacturer can make a good looking EV that goes fast. The speculative price isn't in bending metal into car-shaped objects, it's the technology aspect.

Through the history of autonomous driving, Tesla has not ranked very high as far in terms of being close to a commercially viable product. Like they didn't even make the top 5.

If someone comes out with a better solution to autonomous driving before Tesla, most of their technology value proposition vanishes. They become mostly just an automotive manufacturer at that point.

I've got 1 share of Tesla, so when I anger someone by pointing out something genius Musk does, I can satisfy that person by saying "yes, I am a shill for Tesla; I own a share".

No it's casting metal into car-shaped objects. Just wait until they eliminate paint completely.

Plus the handling made it fun to drive. So you didn't feel like you were driving an econobox.
I used to hear the same about the early Ford Ka.

The Fiero also didn't have a backseat to "get busy" in. For some parents, that was actually a consideration.
Teens would easily find another convenient place for that
