> What’s impressive about Tesla?

The fact that it's worth more than all the other automakers combined.

> the other manufacturers are catching up

Re-read what you wrote, and consider how preposterous it is that automakers founded more than a century ago are now "catching up" to a company that sold its first car in 2008.




The fact that it's worth more than all the other automakers combined.

to justify this “vapor worth” Tesla would have to sell about 89 billion cars :)

…automakers founded more than century ago…

> The fact that it's worth more than all the other automakers combined.

The South Sea Company was also stupendously valuable until it wasn't.
