Apple Tops 'World's Most Admired Companies' List for Tenth Year in a Row

As a business prof for almost 40 years and a long-time reader of Fortune, I know that this list matters to the business community. It is not just brand recognition or popularity; it's about companies whose successes are looked up to. For Apple to top this list for the 10th year in a row is extremely impressive and puts them in a very rare category.
The thing I noticed was the creepy weaponized javascript that Fortune shrouded their list in. You couldn't even read the full list without disabling ad blockers, and it took a frightening amount of computation to render. There has got to be a better way to publish a #!$$ list.
Tesla isn't in the top 500 companies by revenue. As others have noted, they've never made a profit. They weren't in the top 50, and weren't mentioned in the ~200 companies listed on the javascript-weaponized webpage.
Fully refundable deposits (presuming the company doesn't go bankrupt). If someone creates a vehicle with superior specs/price, those 400K deposits will decrease rapidly.

Absolutely. But the thread's about companies that did or didn't make the most-admired list and why or why not. As a separate topic, yes, Tesla wouldn't need to build that many vehicles if not as many people wanted one in the future for any reason, and would have to refund deposits to those who changed their minds.
