This might help explain #Tesla’s valuation:
Excl stock-based comp, I estimate a Q4/20 operating profit (EBIT) of approx 1.7b. FY 2020 non-GAAP EBIT would amount to 4.2b.
Comparison with #VW's Passenger Cars division (25 models) 2019:
- 12 times Tesla’s deliveries
- LESS EBIT!

If you compare revenue and operating profit (EBIT) on a per vehicle basis, the difference between #Tesla and #FossilAuto blows your mind!
How would the incumbents profitably sell #EV’s when their current profit margin with gas-guzzlers is only 600 bucks per car???

Note: #Tesla‘s 2020 revenue and EBIT in the 2 tweets/charts above are my estimates. Tesla has not yet reported any financials of Q4/2020 and FY 2020. This will happen at the next earnings call by the end of Jan.
Sorry folks, made a mistake: #VW delivered 6.3m vehicles in 2019, but only 3.7m were sold. Here are the 2 corrected charts of the initial 2 tweets in this thread.
VW’s Ø rev per vehicle sold is 24k, the EBIT per vehicle sold 1k.
#Tesla numbers are unchanged.
