Tesla has reached a ridiculous market valuation that is more than +10% greater than the market valuation of all other auto manufacturers combined.
Market Cap ($ Billion)
Tesla = 1020.10
Total Other 13 = 894.25
Yes, the market cap of Tesla is now bigger than these 14 other major auto companies combined:
Volkswagen
Toyota
Daimler
Ford
Honda
GM
BMW
Nissan
Stellantis
Volvo
Tata
Mazda
Subaru
Hyundai (removed from the individual analysis because I could not get the data) (I could not also get the data for Kia)
However, Tesla cannot possibly compare on a conventional valuation basis. In fact, look at these outlandish comparative valuations.
