Could it also be that TSLA still has a grossly inflated price at 100x forward earnings. What has it done in the last few years to deserve such a multiple? Make statements about self driving coming tomorrow, hire actors to dance in a robot helmet, and sell trucks with the doors falling off?
Hell, the price is still higher than right before Trump got elected this past November .
I've always said that, how can be Tesla valued more than several worlds largest car makers combined. Car makers far more reliable and on track than bullshit Tesla.
On paper, companies with a high P/E ratio can be justified by expecting their profit is going to skyrocket in the future.
You could maybe sorta argue that for Tesla a few years back. Even if you did, the Cybertruck debacle, Elon firing and unfiring the supercharger network people, and other antics of his, should convince you otherwise.
There's just no way to justify it anymore, even assuming there ever was. The fascade is gone and even if the company finds a stable footing, the stock still has a long way to drop.
Not that I’m a Tesla apologist, but keep in mind they are more than just a car company. Also in their portfolio:
Solar panels
Residential power storage (Powerwalls)
Commercial/utility grade power storage (Megapacks)
Vehicle insurance
SuperCharger network
Robotics
Granted, things like robotics are clearly mostly hype at this point, but they have sold & service Megapacks in countries including the US, Canada, and Australia. Their Supercharger network is also seen as a valuable asset given it’s really the only highly reliable nationwide one. Add to that the fact that it’s now an open standard that other EV companies are adopting, and non-Tesla EVs can now charge at many Supercharger stations, and the value of that asset can’t be understated.
I have no idea what the Tesla EV revenue is compared to all this other stuff, but it’s all likely helping boost the value one way or another…
This seems like the worst way for him to go because 100% his "fans", if you want to call them that, will say it was the deep state that killed him for getting to close to their operations. They will try to get Trump to double down on his cuts to the government and it will make things worse somehow.
Really no matter how he goes it will be due to the deep state unless he Luigi's himself
Lol this guy is apparently also trying to 'go after' people who talk bad about Tesla. Get a grip homie, the people have a right to think whatever they want about whatever company that want.
What's he going to do? Arrest people who post negatively about Tesla? And the guy claims he's such a pro-freedom man. Hilarious except it's tragic enough to just be sad.
What's he going to do? Arrest people who post negatively about Tesla?
Uh, yeah. That's exactly what they're going to do. Trump is already calling Tesla demonstrators terrorists and pushing for charges in that area for simple vandals.
Yeah the propor methods to protest him should be to not vote for him... or vote to recall him... er... oh yeah that's right, he's got all this power and yet only is on the side line throwing money at a guy, and people he thinks will vote for a guy. So the only recourse he's left us is to go after the money he has to throw.
