Hertz infamously came out of bankruptcy guns-blazing and purchased 100k cars for $4.2 billion and helped drive Tesla's market cap above $1 trillion in 2021

By 2024 they had begun dumping the EVs and reported a $2Bn loss as a result.[0]

The HTZ stock price has fallen 90%.[1]

Somehow TSLA is still trading in the neighborhood of that 2021 peak. Currently trading at a PE ratio of over 300, despite declining revenues[2].

Really wish I understood the Elon Musk voodoo.
