- philipwhiuk 1y agoMercedes should buy Tesla you mean.
- qwertox 1y agoTesla, Inc. (TSLA) – ~ US$1.50 trillion Mercedes‑Benz Group AG (MBG.DE) – ~ US$62 billion
- philipwhiuk 1y agoMBG AG: Revenue - €153.2 billion (2023) Production output - 2,491,600 -- Tesla: Production output - 1,773,443 vehicles (2024) Revenue - US$97.7 billion (2024) -- Maybe Tesla is just hillariously overvalued and MBG AG can afford them once the hype bubble implodes.
- iamtheworstdev 1y agowhen the hype bubble implodes.. Tesla doesn't exist anymore. None of their perceived future value is based on automobiles.

- AtlasBarfed 1y agoOne of my fundamental criticisms of Elon musk performance as a CEO. The vast stock market price and valuation should enable these sorts of transactions. It would enable Tesla to diversify operations move into applying its technology on a mass-market basis to hybrids without "damaging" the "purity" of the Tesla brand. It would enable more marques to target specific economic bands, international markets, etc. But no we basically have a car company that makes two cars.
- kibwen 1y agoElon Musk has completely lost interest in being CEO of a car company. Tesla is a whatever's-on-his-mind-today company.
- dzhiurgis 1y agoThey started working on autonomy around when Google started (2013 or so?). And fully focused on it for half a decade now. It's not that hard to understand, he's been repeating the mission statement forever. Same with SpaceX.
- RegW 1y agoSurely there is still some merit in having competition in the market place?
