Ford's F150 pickup truck model outsold all Teslas 10 to 1 last year but Tesla is now the most valuable US automaker by market capitalization. Interesting.

We have to wait and see how their new battery factory in NV works out for them, and how the other manufacturers do in marketing competing technologies. I see a couple of companies are coming out with fuel-cell cars, among other things. Time will tell how well Tesla does longer-term.

Yup add tech and suddenly you are more "valuable" than 100 year old companies with predictable revenue. It is sad really.

It's not just because of "tech". Tesla more than doubled their topline in the past 2 years while Ford grew by a measly 4%. Value reflects the growth potential of the business.

Ford's enterprise value ("takeover" value) is still more than 3 times that of Tesla today by the way

This is true for trading stocks, but it has nothing to do with reality of worth. That kind of thinking is why there were idiots protesting against Wall Street...

Well $$$ value is as close as you can get to "reality of worth" these days. If you have the money, you can buy out the company.

I want to be happy about this, but I'm starting to feel the Bay Area is a little too prosperous. If things keep going like this no one is going to be able to live here... lol

Maybe one day tesla will actually turn a Profit. After Leopoldo stokowski comes back to life and conducts Camille saint Saen's "danse macabre" while Demons come up from the depths of hell.
