It's not my argument, it's an argument from analysts who said Google was overvalued in 2004.

Apparently they couldn't imagine the future, so they measured Google against its contemporaries.

Comparing Tesla to Ford is a similar failure of the imagination.

Really? Why? Is Tesla not a car company?

Tesla is a battery company that also makes cars.

That seems like an even less bullish fact. Batteries are never going to command the same margin or moat as cars, and hence would have even lower market cap comps.

Tesla is a car company in the same way that Google is an advertising agency.
