I just fined the Tesla share price incredible hard to justify, I know they are a growing company with big ambitions but the numbers just don't work.

Tesla:

- Market cap: $392.78 billion

- Q3 units sold: 343,000

VW Group:

- Market cap: $70.98 billion

- Q3 units sold: 2,181,300

Obviously they are slightly different companies, Tesla sell solar and battery storage products. And VW Group have brands that sell to a part of the market that Tesla hasn't entered yet.

However there is no way to look at those numbers and make it work. If you go with a market cap to sales ratio, Tesla investors and projecting sales of over 12 million per quarter to match VW...

On VW, they have nearly reached 7% BEV sales, steadily growing. And those cars are well reviewed.

Teslas "moat" is shrinking.
