I've been awake all night with nothing to show for it. 5.5. I feel like I'm back in jipity3.5 days. Stripe works and then it breaks, then it works then it breaks. I'm about to break a keyboard in half.
Can someone at stripe just move into openAI and work out how these two can just do anything without a single 'Payment authorization was not completed' error?
I dont knkw what it is, but I got goose bumps. Fort Worth, Texas.
Using market cap ÷ trailing-12-month revenue, Tesla looks extremely overvalued compared with normal automakers.
Tesla’s current market cap is about $1.342 trillion.
Tesla’s 2025 revenue was $94.827B, Q1 2025 revenue was about $19.34B, and Q1 2026 revenue was about $22.39B. That puts rough TTM revenue at:
$94.827B - $19.34B + $22.39B = ~$97.88B TTM revenue
(SEC)
So Tesla’s current price-to-sales ratio is roughly:
$1,341.8B market cap ÷ $97.9B revenue = ~13.7x sales
| Company | Approx. P/S ratio |
|---|---|
| Tesla | ~13.7x |
| Ford | ~0.27x |
| GM | ~0.38x |
Ford’s current P/S is around 0.27x, and GM’s is around 0.38x. (FinanceCharts)
Against Ford/GM-style revenue multiples, Tesla is trading about:
13.7 ÷ 0.33 average legacy-auto P/S = ~41x higher
So by revenue-to-market-cap only, Tesla is priced roughly 35x to 50x richer than Ford/GM.
| Valuation basis | Implied Tesla market cap | Drop from current |
|---|---|---|
| At Ford’s ~0.27x sales | ~$26B | ~98% lower |
| At GM’s ~0.38x sales | ~$37B | ~97% lower |
| At a generous 1.0x sales | ~$98B | ~93% lower |
So the blunt answer is:
If Tesla were valued like a normal car company based on revenue, the stock would be overvalued by roughly 90%–98%.
The reason the market does not value Tesla like Ford or GM is that investors are pricing in AI, robotaxi, robotics, software margins, energy growth, and Elon execution premium—not just car revenue.
I had planned to vibecode an ecommerce, though I am currently busy with other projects. If anyone's interested: drop your OBO in the comments. i can update Namecheap with your O.
