Tech companies generally sell software or ad space with near-zero marginal costs. Tesla does not.

Not really. The modern tech companies, FAANG, and many doing SaaS, etc. consume highly expensive labor and consume it while not linear, yet still in some significant correlation to the revenue, thus one can see that they have kind of significant marginal costs. While Tesla's marginal costs will more and more will be dominated by the R&D.
