its evaluation med by musk yes. But they were a great car company, that would have done fine for itself regardless. Heck im not sure an overevaluation really helps their core buisness.
They were innovative and years ahead in technology. Their heatpump supermanafold is still ahead of the rest of the EV industry. While the rest of the western manufacturers struggle to even make basic software for their cars.
There is plenty to dislike about tesla, (asside from musk) like their spotty quality control and questionable infotainment cost cuts. But if they spent the last few years just perfecting and maturing as a manufacturer, they would be respectful leader in EVs now.
Instead we get Cybertruck (brilliant engineering whasted on a childish design) and an insistence being a software company which it isn't.
Chineese EVs had time to catch up, and now instead of a mature innovative and trustable western EV brand alternative, we got.... Tesla led by musk.
Even in the best case scenario where they were a major global leader in EVs (difficult when you have an American mindset on what a car is), their valuation would still be less than 1/10th what it currently is.
