I'll let you have the last word. Don't tell people they don't matter. What comes out of your mouth is who you are.
They don't matter to the market.

You matter to the family. you matter to your neighbor. You matter to your church. You are very important.

But not to the market or how many Teslas get sold.

You still can't read.

Yes, I know they had it easy. That's why they were given everything, still acted like brats, and took everything from their parents with no thanks, and left nothing to their kids with no thanks.

Locusts.
Wtf? Get your own :censored2:. Why are you complaining about not getting anything? Sound like a freaking child.

They were raised by parents who went through hell and back. You think they had it easy being raised in a house like that? I’m not a boomer but people are a product of their raising. If you want to blame boomers, you can blame the generation before for as much or more.
Boomers born in the early 60's were raised by parents who came of age in the 50's. Seriously, before you paint everyone with a broad brush you might want to crack a book.

Why would it?
Nobody buys a Tesla to save money on gas. Or to save money at all.

If gas price is low, Tesla sells everything it can make.

If gas is high, Tesla sells everything it can make.
If you are correct then their market is smaller then I thought. But I don’t think you are. Fuel price and liberal policy are selling evs, period.

Neither is selling EV's.
Convenience, reliability, and performance are selling Teslas.
That's raw fact. They're easier to live with, use, maintain, and perform better for most people with most lives.

That's the majority of the car market. And Tesla is just better at it.

Good luck if we hit a depression.
A depression makes the best rise to the top, and hits the bottom worst.

The worst aren't buying Teslas anyway. They can't afford it.
2021 already showed us this. Everyone lost sales except Tesla, who increased 50%.

The harder the course is, the more Tiger wins.

If they can survive a depression. You aren't going to get your exponential growth if it's prolonged. And their market cap is going to shrink.

Do they have a lot of cash or is it tied up in the stock?
Tesla has 20 billion dollars in raw cash. You have no idea how a balance sheet works.

They're developing the biggest and best factories in the world and can't find enough valid things to spend their pile of cash on. So they're sitting on it.
Buying people out would involve stock, and would be easy

No automakers have their margins, or their nest egg, or their low debt level. This isn't even hard, bro.

Tesla has 20B in cash and 3B in debt.

Ford has 36B in cash and 100B in debt.
GM has 26B in cash and 110B in debt.
Toyota has 76B in cash and 135B in debt.


Tesla is the only one who can survive a hard time. And they have the longest line of waiting buyers. And their buyers are all richer, and the rich take care of themselves better in depression.

And of course they're going to be stupid and buy out all those companies so that only Tesla is made, right? Just because they can, right? It was a dumb statement you made and still is.

Why would they want to buy failing companies with low margins and high debt, like Toyota or GM or Ford?

They're garbage companies.

I'm telling you they could buy them. Nobody would want to.
