    May I ask by who?

    I don't know anyone who likes his cars, much less owns one, and I know a lot of people. Come to Pr. George, drive around the parking lots at all of the malls and stores, and let me know if you see even one Tesla.
    We also have a College, and university, check those parking lots as well. I see almost every other brand, even Fiats, Alfa Romeos, Porsche, BMW, Mercedes, Nissan, Toyota, Honda, Kia, Volvo, Hyundai, Lamborghini, Ferrari, Jaguar, Land Rover, and of course the domestic brands, and more. But never a Tesla, I don't think anyone in the entire city owns a Tesla.

    Well if you didn’t already know, he’s one of the first 100% all electric car manufacturers.

    Tesla is, today, making cars at a pace of a million units per year. The Tesla model 3 last month was the best selling car in Europe. Not best selling electric car, best selling car. If you want one (a model 3 or model S), with some of the more popular features, the wait list has now reached 2023. Operating profit per car is about 30%.

    Tesla is building factories faster than any automaker has ever done, and output is expected to grow between 30 and 50% year over year.

    You know how many cars Ford plans to make in 2025? ZERO. Not a single one. They plan to completely abandoned the car segment and will only be making SUV's and pickups.

    So, which stock would you rather own? FORD or TSLA?
     
    bonder45, chrisdab and gentleroger Thank this.

    I agree that the stock is over valued, but then again the entire market is over valued.

    However, one of the big reasons Tesla stock outperforms other car manufacturers is that they don't have any of the legacy costs that older manufacturers do - no pensions, no large real estate holdings ,

    I read a story about a week ago about a road closure in Canada on a highway that’s being used for a construction detour people were stuck there 18 hours . In the comments section they said numerous electric cars ran out of power causing further delays. Range drops dramatically in cold weather when sitting with heater on and the battery cools off lol.

    Not as yet. Any Dealer knows they need to be approved by having a jump through a circumvented course for the astoundingly cohesive requirements. It seems apparent (to very few) that some Dealers are slowly learning the previously incomprehensible Canadian Specific in authorizing a Dealer to sell Tesla Creations and the newly unknown to most specifications to house ALL Tesla Vehicles, without question, within an Underground, Insulated against Leaks (of information) and Highly Hypersensitive Ergonomically Controlled Environment.
    Until ALL REQUIREMENTS are met, there shall be no Presentations of Tesla Dream Ware outside the Uniformed Systems of Adventure.
    Hope This Helps Clarify Something!
    CHEERZ!!
