The world rewards anticipated production - I find Tesla's P/E absurd.
- FireBeyond 3y agoBecause it was (and to me still is) absurd. At one point, Tesla was worth more than: Toyota, Volkwagen Group, Hyundai/Kia, General Motors, Ford, Nissan, Honda, Fiat Chrysler, Renault, Suzuki, Daimler, BMW, Mazda and Mitsubishi combined. (Plus several Chinese manufacturers: SAID, Geely, Changan, Dongfeng).
- tim333 3y agoThe hypothesis is Tesla becomes like Apple in cell phones vs all the other manufacturers. Apple may not have all the sales but it has most of the profits. Not saying that will happen with Tesla but it's a possibility.
- robertlagrant 3y agoWell, not exactly. It rewards current production, i.e. people buy Teslas, as well as future production, i.e. we think you can make us money based on your track record. I should say more precisely that the world doesn't reward Tesla; it thinks it can get more out of Tesla than it gives it. Which is probably the least worst system.
