TSLA is near all-time high and more valuable than next 10 automakers combined.

And it will be, until it isn't. It certainly isn't on the basis of fundamentals. It's purely vibes, but that won't last forever.

      No shit they make robots.

      Toyota also has a machine that builds the machine. Tesla is not special in that regard.

      Oh, you mean humanoid robots. I’m guessing you purchased FSD? How’s that going? One day. The future. Believe. The. Hype.

    • So the new thesis is "okay, so it's a shit car manufacturer, but it might one day do [random other thing of questionable plausibility and market value]"? Like, what if BMW makes a teleporter? What if Ford discovers the elixir of youth?

      (Also I feel bound to point out that Honda notoriously _does_ make robots, though they don't seem to have done it much good.)

      It is unclear to me why people think that making humanoid robots is particularly valuable, or why Tesla would be a leader in that market, if it existed, and to be clear it does not seem to exist. What are the humanoid robots for?
