Simply put, Tesla has high expectations built into their current price. These expectations exist because they are several years ahead of their competitors in key components and they have lines of business available to them that are not available to GM or Ford. TSLA is the most (or amongst the most) shorted stock on the market, so a lot of people have a lot of money riding on being able to convince people that they can never meet those expectations. So we hear a lot about Tesla having trouble ramping up to 20,000 units/month, but we don't hear very much about GM having trouble selling 2000 units per month.
