Toyota or General Electric are reasonable comparisons, both around 10x Telsa:

  TSLA	Tesla Motors Inc	182.14	-1.42	-0.77%		 22.13B
  TM	Toyota Motor Corp...	129.95	-0.29	-0.22%		205.93B
  GE	General Electric ...	24.30	-0.06	-0.23%		247.50B
Of course many slips are possible along the way - not least that Musk could get "hit by a bus".

GE is not a bad comparison: founded by Edison, based on electricity, created power station infrastructure...

What are you comparing? Why is GE a reasonable comparison?

I believe it was Kevin Rose who argued that Tesla might become an energy company if their charging infrastructure becomes an industry standard. So companies like GM will pay Tesla to let GM cars use the Superchargers and swap stations.
