Although growing nicely, BEV sales still remain a small percentage of the overall car market. There is plenty of time for companies new and old to come in and capture significant pieces of that barely touched pie. Tesla may currently be the dominant player in BEVs (just as Netscape had once been the dominant player in browsers, Nokia had once been the dominant player in cell phones, etc.) but things can change pretty quickly and not necessarily favorably for first mover companies like Tesla.

Their opportunity is slowly going away as Tesla continues to scale. I think you're going to be very surprised in 10 years when Tesla captures 40+% of the market with 100% of the industry's profit.
 
$10,000 invested in Ford Motor Company at the beginning of the year would be worth around $23,300 today. The same $10,000 invested in Tesla would be worth around $15,300. Ford for the win!

Of course, Lucid's (with expected sales of less than 600 units in 2021) stock performance this year beat them all by quite a bit.....but will it last?
i did well on Disney, bought during covid crash and doubled my money…. But I’m out right now because I’m expecting a major crash soon…. If it happens I’ll jump back in again on something
 
I say don’t waste your money on either.

A few bucks only. And it comes in 4 colors!!!!!!1111!!!
 
My rule of thumb: market cap = revenue for 10 years.

Tesla cap @ $1T = $100B/year = 2M vehicles at $50,000 each (yes, lowballing the revenue per vehicle)
Tesla is still ramping up, currently at 1/8th that output and rising fast.
Not unreasonable to expect they'll hit that target in a few years.

Yes, it's a SWAG, there's issues with it, it's a rule of thumb, a starting point for estimating.
Yeah we’ll see about that.
 
Time will tell. Tesla has had quality issues with their cars.

That article is so unbelievably slanted. Everything they say may be historically factual, but it's presented in a way to negatively dog on Tesla by omitting more recent facts.

Sandy's criticism on the Model 3 only applied to the initial versions of the Model 3 when Tesla was undergoing production hell. Sandy Munro is now a huge fan of Tesla and believes their quality is world-class and beyond reproach. He routinely states that Tesla is the leader in quality, performance and user experience. He also states that Legacy automakers are doomed. Notice how the article doesn't mention that "unimportant" piece. I wonder who CNET's sponsors are.

Media is dishonest in general these days… needs to change, they are not very good at policing themselves these days
 
He is mentally ill.
I have no doubts that he may be slightly insane, like all brilliant men.
He is also smarter than all of us and is willing to risk all his cash for what he believes in. People are just upset that Elon keeps winning while their lives are a mess.
 


Tesla CEO Elon Musk has encouraged customers to buy the "Cyberwhistle" for $50 instead of Apple's much-discussed Polishing Cloth.

The product page, which Musk shared on Twitter on Tuesday evening, offers a limited edition stainless steel whistle with the same distinctive design of the Tesla Cybertruck:In October, Apple released a Polishing Cloth for $19 which quickly became the subject of ridicule due to its presentation and pricing. Musk had already expressed amusement at the Apple Cloth after its release, and in a follow up tweet, he drew a comparison between Tesla's spoof product and Apple's Polishing Cloth.



The Tesla Cyberwhistle was available for $50 and is already sold out. Meanwhile, Apple's Polishing Cloth is heavily backordered, with new orders due to arrive as late as February 2022.

I'm honestly sick of Elon Musk. I want him to stay away from the Apple side. Let him do his little thing but leave Apple alone. This is "MAC"rumors not Tesla Town. I couldn't care any less about a whistle, which honestly is a very stupid product and anyone that buys a whistle for $50 has lost their mind. If you are willing to buy a $50 whistle then that says a lot about the customers that he attracts.

You better get used to it. 25% of the cars on the road will be Teslas by end of this decade.
 
Haha. Musk makes people so upset over nothing.


He's not the Billionaire you people should be so mad about............. Quite the opposite in my informed opinion.?
