>Looks like they just posted a solid ~5% YoY growth for the last quarter, while TSLA posted ~125%. It's clearly an interesting difference.

Do you really expect a 100+ year old company that sells 3 million vehicles annually to be growing 125% annually? Where would the cars go?

>Tesla is selling significantly more cars than BMW right now.

By "right now" you mean for a single historical quarter, in one specific, shrinking auto segment (sedans), in one global market right (USA), correct?

Because, again, BMW sells 250k vehicles globally, per month. Torture the data enough and anyone can be a leader.

>And if you are ecologically minded, thats interesting.

This doesn't follow.

If you were truly ecologically minded, you'd cheer on all the automakers in their move to EVs, not one in specific with a microscopic market share. BMW has more potential to shift the landscape than Tesla.

>Nothing in TFA seems suspicious to me.

I don't know about "suspicious", but what exactly is the point? Tesla, whom many consider overvalued, has a higher market cap than BMW. So what? BMW makes more money, has higher revenues, produces more cars and has been in business way longer. Their sales have been growing for years. They deliver almost as many cars in a month as Tesla has in its entire existence.

So what is the main point? Only in Silicon Valley do people care about "valuation".

Electrek literally takes random Elon Musk tweets and writes "articles" about them. HN votes them up, while criticizing every second article as "fake news".

>0 objectivity. Straight up fake news

Please post a link to an article written by Swisher on Uber that had absolutely "zero objectivity".

This trend of calling articles you disagree with or mediocre journalism "fake news" is frightening.
