Worth repeating.Tesla is in the vertical growth phase, shooting up at 87% per year AND tossing off massive earnings. That's unprecedented so early on.
Lots of people don’t get this. Tesla just crossed into positive earnings a couple of quarters ago, but we are just at the bottom of the EPS rocket ship right now. Since Operating Expenses are fairly flat, most of every dollar of margin on vehicle sales drops right to the bottom line. That margin is an impressive 30% which very few companies outside the pure technology sector have managed. Nobody has managed those margins and the sort of operating leverage Tesla has.
Every price increase we’ve seen is pure markup. Every additional FSD sale is 95% profit. Every “Performance Boost” people buy is 95% profit.
Tesla is a very unique company.
