I know you're being sarcastic, but I actually read through many of them, and they don't seem to do any kind of analysis that answers my questions.
Long story short, Tesla is a story about operating margins which dictates it as a car company, or a tech company.
Tesla is not valued as a car company because it's operating margins are much higher even at the early stage of growth. We are at 11% operating margin, hitting 13% this q. In comparison, F's operating margin last Q was negative, Nissan is at 1-3%. Toyota/GM are between 5-10%. These are car company operating margins.
Tesla's operating margins however are heading toward 20%+ because
1. FSD roll out. People will likely pay 10k or subscribe to FSD more as it's an actual software that provides value. It doesn't need to be robotaxi ready nor are buyers expecting it to be. The roll out also have Tesla realize more than 75% of all money collected vs only 50% today.
2. Increase production efficiencies: Fremont is Tesla's worst efficient production plant and also the highest in operating cost. Once Tesla have higher production moved away from Fremont via Berlin/Texas/Shanghai, we should see even more in operation savings.
3. Continue to simplify process on production: It takes Tesla today only 10hrs to make a Model 3 from raw material to completion. It takes the best car manufacturing company Toyota to make a car in 18 hours. Musk wants Tesla to reduce this 10hr number further, but as of right now you see where all the operational cost savings come more
4. As supply chain issues ease, energy will be less draggy on operation costs
Just to put things in perspective, Tesla is valued as a tech company because it has forward operating margins like a tech company. Car companies are in the mid single digits, companies like Apple are at 25%. Tesla will be among the techs as the years go by, except that Tesla's total addressable market will blow Apple's out of the water and ends up making a stupid amount of high revenue at 20m cars/year+50% FSD take rate vs what Apple can do. Apple's yearly revenue is 260 billion. Tesla will be hitting over a trillion in revenue at 20m cars plus whatever energy can do.
So Tsla's valuation is not all made up by apes being strong together. Q2 2021 opened the eyes of whales and analysts. Q3 will be Tesla shouting from the rooftops that they are not a car company.
