The thing about Tesla, is that, to me, stock in them would feel like a consolation prize for not being able to own part of SpaceX. I can't see the future, and I can't see what is special about Tesla. It's clear in hindsight that the existing automakers have had difficulty competing, but I can't put my finger on what makes them different, nor do I like the idea of a car company that operates like Apple. By contrast, it's obvious why SpaceX is different than any other aerospace company, but the hoi polloi can't own a piece.
