TSLA net income ~12.5 billion

TM net income ~2.5 billion

The relative valuation seems about right. Also, your P/E ratio for TSLA seems really high. It’s about a third of that.

You are right, I apologize. My quick googling gave me the wrong PE for Tesla. The correct PE is about 77. I didn’t notice because during the euphoria phase it was insanely over 1000 so 261 seemed plausible.

Well it was infinity and then it was 1000s and then 100s. And these changes happened in a few years.

This is why the endless talk about PE is so incredibly dumb and misleading when elevating companies.
