> At $50B Market Cap, Tesla should be delivering at least $2B Annual profits

P/E ratios aren’t effective for high-growth or quickly-declining companies. The PEG ratio attempts to compensate for this.

Exactly my point. US demand growth is done. There will be International pent up demand will be done in Q1.

Q2 and Q3 will show that Tesla has pretty much plateaued. Profit growth is even lower

Companies can grow in a shrinking market by stealing share. I’m no Tesla bull, but you’re casting a loose prediction with far more certainty than it merits.

It is a concern though, and as a Tesla supporter I’m a little worried. Tesla is also going to be looking at serious and sustained competition from giants like VW, so if they want to steal market share they’d better do it fast. I accept the argument that such competition is a good outcome for the planet, but I’m not so sure it’s a good outcome for Tesla the company.
