How can they pump the stock any more than it's already pumped? Tesla is now once again the most overvalued stock on the stock market now that Space X's value has fallen.

Like can you think of any remotely rational reason why Tesla has a market capitalization that's 23-25 times as high as Ford's capitalization? I mean, seriously, it seems like if anything the ratio should be reversed, with how I see about 23-25 Fords on the road for every Tesla I see.

Because Tesla isn't only a car company. They have an entire grid and home energy division, retail electric provider in Tx, etc.

Per google AI, this is how the $1.3 trillion is guesstimated to be broken down among the divisions:

"Currently, the Automotive Division is estimated to be worth between $250 billion and $400 billion, while the Energy Division (Home & Utility) is valued between $140 billion and $200 billion. Crucially, the remaining $700 billion+ of Tesla’s massive valuation is attributed to its Autonomous Driving (FSD), Robotaxi, and AI/Robotics segments."

So even specifically the car division of Tesla is guesstimated to be capitalized at about 5-8 times the value of Ford (which is $55 billion.) Do you think that's remotely justifiable?

Alas, I first heard of Tesla's home energy thing about 3 months ago. I read about it online somewhere although I haven't met anybody who's told me they actually use it at their home.

And worst of all is probably the segments about Autonomous Driving and Robotaxis. Those are supposed to be Tesla's most valuable segments. And I don't think I've ever seen one of Tesla's Robotaxis or Autonomous Cars in my life. I've seen a lot of Waymo, which mainly uses Jaguars, but I haven't seen any of Tesla's self-driving cars. Alas, the news I see online about the expansion of Robotaxis (like how they just announced they're bringing 2,000 Robotaxis to Europe) fails to impress me that much.

There are over a million powerwalls in the market. And thats just the resi storage. They have a ton of utility scale too and their domestic manufacturing.

I've financed billions of dollars of Tesla energy assets.
