I'm not curious about other car companies because their products are on the market already and their differentiators are well known by everyone...

> they have literally ZERO differentiator compared to established car companies. They are going to tank so hard stock wise

Their stock is insanely overvalued, no argument there. But they have one of the largest installed and fastest growing DC charging networks, software that doesn't suck, and the most capable and fastest improving driver assist system enabled by a proprietary custom ASIC. That's far from "ZERO" differentiators, especially in a world where other manufacturers keep faceplanting on their software efforts over and over again.

Also, incredibly well-integrated battery packs, a reliable source of batteries (at the volume they need), and various other ventures to amortize their EV-related costs over (e.g. Tesla Energy).

TBH they're pretty much the only car manufacturer that doesn't look like generic car interior with generic car exterior shape too.
