Tesla is truely both an upstart and a startup. They are barely 10 years old and its only in the last 3 years that they've produced more than 10,000 cars a year. Their huge market cap reflects their huge plans, not their current state.
- FireBeyond 10y ago"Barely 10" - the company was founded over 13 years ago, and Musk had been talking about it for a few years prior. It may not seem like much of a difference, but when you're trying to spin as a new arrival... Similar to the DPR / Silk Road case, where Ross's attorneys tried to paint him as "just a young kid making some silly mistakes". "Youthful indiscretion". Ross was about to turn thirty. Not the "same" thing, but how many teenagers do you know who wouldn't be offended by being called "barely 10"?
