So 20 years for Tesla and 21 years for SpaceX is a sprint? What amount of time is a marathon? Facebook was founded in 2004, Google in 1998, are they still just sprinting?

how about when Tesla can survive off of the margins from ops without growth and without bilking its customer for vapor ware?

How about when they come out with a new body and chassis? When they go through a re-tooling cycle or two?

And again, let’s seem then make it through a full business cycle, because again, no company founded since 2001 knows that it’s like to run a company in a no growth or shrinking economy…

What is your definition for a "full business cycle"? Specifically the length? If you are going to define it as "I know it when I see it" then there's no room for a conversation here.
