On Tesla, that's easy, relative valuation[1]. I called this level in October[0]
It's no longer being priced as a miracle-maker, FSD, semis, scale, superchargers, powerwall. The government isn't buying it[2], Tesla isn't outfitting PG&E/ERCOT flaming infrastructure with batteries to prevent people from freezing to death. They're not really F+HON+XOM+Xylinx+X-Parc, and loud activists want them to just be F.
Now the real question: does "making a car" really still look like an appealing growth tactic for Tim Apple to deliver shareholder return?[3]
Knowing all this makes me want to gouge my eyes out, unfortunately.
They'll obviously pull through with their lowish debts, I think Musk is more aware of the gems in their mine than he lets on.
