>All car companies, including Toyota, are currently 'struggling'.
Tesla won't exist in a decade if they continue on current trajectories.
Their situation is completely non-comparable to Toyota, VW, Hyundai or any of the other larger car makers. None of them have it easy, but none of them are in the situation Tesla is in, just look at their recent financials results.
- bryanlarsen 2y agoTesla is profitable, lots of cash in the bank and little debt. Tesla will be fine. Tesla share price might not be, but the company itself is fine.
- constantcrying 2y ago>Tesla is profitable, lots of cash in the bank and little debt. Tesla will be fine. If the trends of their last quarter continue they won't be fine, that much is painfully obvious.
- bryanlarsen 2y agoIf the trends continue for a decade, sure.
- rayiner 2y agoYou mean this trajectory? https://stockanalysis.com/stocks/tsla/revenue/ https://stockanalysis.com/stocks/tsla/revenue/ They had 18% revenue growth last year, 50% the year before that, 70% the year before that, and 28% the year before that. By comparison Toyota’s revenue is barely growing: https://stockanalysis.com/stocks/tm/revenue/ https://stockanalysis.com/stocks/tm/revenue/

- rayiner 2y agoOne down quarter doesn't constitute a "trajectory."
- constantcrying 2y agoIt literally does. A derivative is defined point wise.
- xyzzyz 2y agoOn a smooth function, it is.
- constantcrying 2y agoWhat is your point? Over the last quarter Tesla's number looked extremely bad. That is obviously a trend. Not that the trend can't be reversed.
- rayiner 2y agoOne quarter is noise, not a trend.
- xyzzyz 2y agoYou can’t calculate derivative of a discrete function. That’s why we talk about trends. These tend to include more than last 2 data points, because of noise.
- constantcrying 2y ago>You can’t calculate derivative of a discrete function. Every integrable function has a weak/strong derivative.
