More click bait: "Why Tesla Stock is Finally Dying". The punchline of the piece is that the existing car companies are just about to swamp Tesla with their mass manufacturing of BEV's and Tesla will remain a bit player. What a bunch of BS. It ignores the lack of battery capacity with the other companies (without a GF) and Tesla energy.

lol this article is a joke. Personally, my favorite line is "
the current price is a rally from $185 in late April. Shares, now trading at $232, will be back under $200 again." Yes, there's a chance that Tesla may dip below $200 temporarily but to say it with such confidence just shows how opinion-based this article is and the lack of factual knowledge.
This article makes the two most common and biggest comparisons that most critics point out in my opinion:
1) Comparing Tesla's market cap with companies like GM - When will people realize that Tesla is much more than a traditional auto maker? Aside from having vastly superior cars in every aspect, Tesla will end up making more money from their energy storage business when it's all said and done. Funny how quickly everybody is forgetting the impact that Powerwalls and Powerpacks will have on an industry separate from cars. Not to mention GM already went out of business not even a decade ago.
2) Comparing Tesla's vehicle sales to those of other car makers - Tesla's ~25% profit margin beats virtually every other car maker aside from Porsche, who also does not sell that many cars. Also, growing sales around 50% each year is remarkable and not being done by anybody else. So not only will Tesla see six-figure vehicle sales in a couple of years, they will see seven-figure vehicle sales not too far after that, at a higher selling price than the competition, with higher margins than the competition.
Bottom line: I can write an essay on how Tesla so different from every other company you can think of. Better management/engineers, brand loyalty, competitive advantages (superchargers, range, performance), resources (GF), energy storage potential.. the list can go on for a while. Keep comparing Tesla to GM and Toyota because you look like a fool.
