That's why Tesla stock tanked as soon as the FT wrote that "$1.4bn appears to have gone astray." ;)

What's Tesla's forward PE? Close to 200? I don't think we can use them as an example of anything resembling a sane market.

Edit: Found a link to the article content, I gather that's basically the point you're making?

    Yes, the point I was trying to make is that companies can get away with not being maximally profitable. There's nothing legally stopping Apple from accepting a slightly lower profit margin on the 5% of sales volume that might go to smaller iPhones if they would offer them. But it might brighten the day for millions of customers.
