I liken this stock to the first few quarters of GoPro leading into Christmas. Investors are making it pop up and down, but the moment the possibility of massive growth and revenue meets up to reality, it'll slide down to a reasonable price.

People don't buy Tesla because of what it does (make a profit selling cars) they buy it because they're making cars "to make the world a better place," by releiving reliance on fossil fuels.

The why is more influential than the what. It's the same reason people are dumb enough to pay a 40% premium for Apple products that are equal in any meaningful metric to a PC.

Interesting - having seen the linked TED talk, I immediately understood. Maybe worth a watch?
