Yawn. You know Tesla isn’t just a car company, right? They are an energy company as well. They have people building out the supercharger network. Software engineers writing autopilot software. Employees working at Tesla sales centers. Tesla is not structured like a traditional automaker. Stop trying to compare with false metrics.

More than 90% of their revenue in 2017 came from selling or leasing cars. That makes them a car company, full stop. If they have more than 10% of their employees doing other stuff, why on earth do they have all these employees that generate basically no revenue?
