Sure. This is definitely hype. For all the fancy numbers you've thrown out there, I see absolutely nothing that strongly indicates that what's going to happen is "Tesla will be a big car manufacturer, competitive with the others." Don't tell me things in terms of money -- we've already gotten the lesson that Musk is adept at the "money raising/moving game," whether it's stocks or crypto or gov't money. Take all that away. What's the story of "vehicles on the road?" What's going on with exploding batteries and cybertrucks and adoption. (Maybe it is better than it looks from me, someone who doesn't much care) but what I'm seeing as Teslas is "a niche product for rich people." Personally, I probably won't buy any EV unless it comes from a name I know, like Toyota -- they build bulletproof (damn near literally) vehicles that JUST WORK ALL THE TIME.
