Let's optimistically assume that Tesla will sell 100M of new cars in the US in the next 20 years at the average price of 50K per car and profitability 10%.

100M x $50K * 10% = 500 billion which is already less than Tesla's current 1 trillion valuation.

That’s $25B profit per year excluding any other profit. That can actually justify a 1T market cap.

It's 2.5% ROI, on par with inflation and well below the market. It's hard to reasonably justify it. Unless you bet on a stock with an extremely high P/E to get a much higher P/E.

1. There are other countries

2. What if Tesla gets $1-2k ARR along with each sale for charging or other services?
