That's just an extremely simplistic analysis, as if there is absolutely no change in the future. Tesla's forward P/E is currently 51. In a years time it might be 30-35. A year after that, well you can see where this is going. There are definitely a few years worth of growth baked in. But when you compare the valuation to the likes of GM, also consider the possibility that they will simply not survive the transition to EVs. They already went bankrupt once, and sales have declined every year since 2016, please have a look at this graph: https://www.statista.com/statistics/225326/amount-of-cars-so... For a great number of reasons, many traditional OEMs will find the next decade very difficult, and that's reflected in their current P/E.

Take this logic and compare AAPL and RIMM in 2009. This is why people are buying TSLA.

If you think that GM is going to successfully pivot to EVs and that Tesla will not continue to grow 50% a year, that is a fine opinion to have, but if you look at CNBC clips from 2009 you will see very similar comparisons being made around AAPL and RIMM, to what you are saying today.

"Experts" have been telling us to sell $TSLA for over a decade..
