What’s surprising about it?
- unityByFreedom 8y agoTesla's valuation
- xiphias2 8y agoTesla's growing 50% / year, and the valuation shows expected future earnings. Only some Chinese electric car companies grow faster than Tesla. So far it looks like in 10 years electric cars will get cheaper than gas cars, which makes the case for the future earnings potential.
- unityByFreedom 8y agoEh, I'm pretty sure a big factor of the valuation is full self driving, and that isn't happening anytime soon despite Musk's repeated insistence it is only a year or two away from when he last said so.
- xiphias2 8y agoProbably you're right, but I still hope not. Elon Musk just redefined the expression full self driving to having all the features for self driving in the last conference call, like detecting signs and changing lanes automatically. Of course we know that it's very far from it (even though I believe Tesla is doing the data gathering part extremely well)
