Market cap (ie, stock price) is not a good indicator of present value, but perceived future value.
Edit: I also think TSLA isn't a car company. More like a battery company.
- reader_mode 5y agoSomeone here was arguing that advertising can't be measured only through impact on present sales but "good will and long term value". Tesla seemingly has good will beyond any competitors. Also Tesla is buying battery cells, sells cars and expects to have third parties supply batteries long term - how can they be a battery company ?
- r00fus 5y agoSame way Apple is a computer company but Foxconn does most of the building of said computers?
- reader_mode 5y agoBut Apple sells computers ? Tesla is selling some battery installations from what I saw but their core business is cars. You could claim they are valued as a software company because of FSD, but I don't really see the battery angle, they would be not be anywhere close their valuation if they were valued on that angle.
- Cincognito 5y agoSame goes for app stores, what happens if google and apple ban you for whatever reason? Your company is screwed and you have no appeal or legal safeguards. <a href="https://businesscutter.com/">https://businesscutter.com//</a> https://businesscutter.com/">https://businesscutter.com//</a...

- Cincognito 5y agoWe checked her rating and it's 4.5 or so. But it's funny, she looks like a deadbeat here because of more discerning/critical NYC Uber drivers who gave her 4 stars 50% of the time.https://trickynerds.com/ https://trickynerds.com/
