Look at what is happening in China Tesla last year had 7 percent of the EV market, this year is 3 percent...... and the US market.........only so many buyers who are willing to overpay for a Tesla..... on the valuation..........you have to ask yourself what is their physical plant plus money in the bank worth today??? 1 trillion????? far from it you can buy and sell small amounts of overpriced shares all day...still at the end or the day no one will step in and pay 1 trillion for the whole of Tesla. I have worked for my share of companies that were overvalued on the stock market. Their share prices all ended up in the dumpster , as the respective execs of each company were just engaging into pumping up share values for their own benefit. Tesla Solar????.......poof.....Tesla batteries??? they do not make their own...panasonic makes them With Elons diving into politics he sure is alienating those who would ever think of buying a Tesla fast....... Do you think alot of Trumpers are going to run out and buy a Tesla today???? ha ha ha do not mix politics with a business ever....................

You are normally above this type of logical error. I am just observing the current state of the market - I don't have to sell everything and put it all into Tesla to notice reality. Do not argue against the empirical data that Tesla is the largest vehicle company by valuation. Saying "the market valuation is wrong" is not an argument against the fact that the market currently values Tesla a lot. Look at the world the way it is not the way it should be.

You wrongly assume I am heavily invested in Tesla (another logic error). I currently have almost all my cash investments in a balanced mutual fund that has performed very well (+12% YTD); not Tesla level growth (+34% YTD) but lower risk. Fundamentals don't matter as much as actual share price. Don't start sounding like the "any day now" morons who refuse to look at reality. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Tesla's market value has surged significantly in the past few years, driven by its dominance in the electric vehicle (EV) market, strong growth prospects, and its technological innovations, such as autonomous driving and energy solutions. While traditional automakers like Toyota and Volkswagen Group have historically been the largest by production volume, Tesla has outpaced them in terms of stock market value, reflecting investor confidence in the future of electric vehicles and Tesla's role in shaping that future. Tesla's valuation has fluctuated, but it has been consistently higher than that of other major automotive companies, thanks to its market leadership in EVs, its scaling production capabilities, and its expansion into areas like energy storage and solar products."

specinho + 470 11 hours ago (edited) Aahheeeemmmnnn....... Let's give a little credit when credit is due. Tesla does influence the market to produce more EV except the models are less sustainable due to limitation of material, charging facilities etc. Nicholas Tesla invented and patented a self recharging EV back in 1930s. I did not understand but it said something like gravitational force or that sort. Self charging 3-wheel motorbikes are in the market. 3-wheel solar cars and may be 4-wheel are ready to fly. Self sustained turbine bus was tested. Lead acid battery EV was invented in the 1920s. Golf cart is an economic choice of lead acid EV for not too busy integrated town shed. People probably welcome environmentally friendly invention like these. But they do not like hasty push into EV despite flaw and damaging risk mentioned. Without the ability to project but push with force blindly will only cause more problems from tentative solution provided, is it not?

Think of the Companies/nations that have a unique product Nvidia..........yes Boeing.....and Airbus........yes ....but even with that said Boeing shares suck as their product has had severe problems........ Amazon..........well yes they still dominate the market because of Amazon Prime......took Amazon years to build up the logistics of next day delivery and a low cost.....Their competitors???????? good luck US military...........any other nation out there with the same dominance/might???? Russia with Nukes otherwise good luck US Dollar............any currency out there with the same global dominance???? nope and because of this the US debt is allowed to increase without effect on the US dollar........very Unique. How is that Loonie doing these days????? Anyone holding on Canadian debt these days hoping for it to become a real global player?????? ha ha ha....... In the Oil business........no one is unique....including no nation.....Thus even Opec is unable to own the market....and Oil is priced accordingly. OPEC once owned the market...........not anymore.......Anyone jumping on the Saudi Oil Co these days Aramco stock sucks as it was overvalued recently and it is still overvalued....and it pays dividends ASML...........oh they own the EUV biz............ Microsoft...........they are still the market leader but they do not own the market.......and their valuation Peaked at 2.25 Trillion and now has dropped to 1.7 Trillion.........Still overvalued when one looks at its revenue and operating income........Tesla is in the same boat (except Mircrosoft pays a dividend ....but it is real crappy..........and because of this their share price has been cratering) and Tesla bigger problem they do not have anything in their upcoming new product line to fill the gap of offering a unique product today. And to boot Tesla does not pay a dividend................Tesla stock is now a turd pile Self Driving cars??????????? That would be Unique.......now does anyone have one on the road that you can have it drive around everywhere???????? NOPE..... and for Tesla they are not the only one trying to get one on the road with perfect software(IE no crashes ,,,,and this really matters) Problem is software is never perfect.............Self driving car tech today............so far off from being realitvely bug free............ Self driving cars.....so far off in the future ................all based on the fact that when a self driving car crashes and someone dies as a result .......the only one that will pay dearly is the one who designed/built the car........This is all Tesla has left in its bag of tricks.......Self driving cars. Yeah I get you can buy insurance.......but the carmaker is also responsible for selling a product that is not dangerous...Unless you can change Tort law Globally., good luck....Unlike today you can always blame a driver when a car crashes and the driver does not have unlimited funds to pay out. Teslas valuation is doomed. Real value of Tesla ............maybe $50 billion........markets are slow but they do catch up........Just look at where Microsoft is heading these days Enjoy the fall of Tesla..............it is in the cards....And Elon is sealing its fate.....again do not mix your politics with your business nor your stock holdings Edited 2 hours ago by notsonice Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
