Perhaps because Tesla is less bloated? Buying shares in an old big corporation feels like hiring the Vogon bureaucrats while investing in Tesla and SpaceX seems like paying young smart people for getting up-to-date things done.

Is that simply a perception you think many might investors have? Tesla has lost money every year, while Toyota has showed substantial profit. Without knowing anything else about these companies, an outside observer might think Tesla was the "bloated" of the two.

I don't know the proportion of investors who think this way yet I simply can't believe there is going to be much place for non-electric cars in cities in future. So, given how strongly do electric cars associate with the Tesla brand, I find it improbable that Tesla is going to fail or stagnate. Cities probably are going to start phasing gas/diesel cars out as soon as they recover from the CoV-caused economic crisis or shortly after. I know Toyota also builds electric and hybrid cars but many consumers don't know.

The company has never made a profit. Why do you think it is impossible for it to fail?

Toyota are also pioneers of JIT manufacturing.
