Re:Tesla Q3 2021 Earnings by omgwtfbyobbq on Wednesday October 20, 2021 @05:11PM (#28936690)
I don't think it's that bad.

Their current price to sales ratio is ~6x less than a mature company like Amazon.

To reach the same price to sales ratio they would need to go from ~250,000 vehicles/quarter to ~1,500,000 vehicles/quarter, which is ~44% of US sales.

Realistically, Tesla sells a lot of cars overseas, so this price more likely represents them hitting ~20% of US sales. The energy side increasing volume with in-house cell manufacturing and/or supplying other OEMs could also change where they need to be with vehicle deliveries to hit a PS ratio in line with established companies.
