There's "differences in valuation" and then there's Tesla's >300 PE ratio.

There's also significant difference in debt levels across the auto industry which also influences valuation. https://mobile.twitter.com/jpr007/status/1405525073218314248...

With 50% CAGR the PE ratio does not seem so crazy, if growth were to stop, then yes it is crazy.

Like a year ago people were 'omg Tesla PE ratio is 1000'. Its actually 174.87 now.

PE is literally the worst way to evaluate a company that is growing.

But seriously, that is one of the single worst ways to evaluate a company and instantly discredits anybody that uses it as their primary argument.
