Tesla Gets a $94 Billion Reality Check as EV Winter Sets In::Tesla Inc. had a blockbuster 2023, as its shares more than doubled in 12 months. But 2024 is starting on a different note, with Elon Musk’s electric vehicle maker off to its worst start to any year — ever.

    Tesla has a market cap of $800 billion.

    To put it in perspective… GM is on track to earn that much money over the next one hundred years - they made $9b last year and $6b the year before (that was a low year, supply chain issues).

    And even if they somehow found the money, regulators would likely block it.

    Tesla, on the other hand, could buy GM if they wanted to. Not sure why they would though, since Tesla is successfully selling EVs (the future) and GM can’t figure out how to repeat that. GM’s EV cars are not profitable yet and they just discontinued their best model (the Bolt).

      This place is pro-ev, but very anti-Tesla. So weird. They’re naming failed car companies and sure, it does prove their point, but most companies fail. I could literally say the same thing about Ford and Toyota. Who knows what happens in the future. Literally no one knows.

        You’re the only one claiming to know they’ll survive. Other people are claiming nobody should know because your original argument for why they’ll survive doesn’t make sense. It’s funny how you’re now claiming to be the one that thinks the future is uncertain.
