> Telsa is not — nor was ever intended to be — a car company. Tesla is fundamentally an "energy generation and storage" (battery/supercapacitor) company

Are we still doing this in 2025?

Uber is not a taxi company it’s a transportation company! Just wait until they roll out buses!

Juicero is not a fruit squeezing company it’s an end to end technology powered nourishment platform!

And so on. Save it for the VC PowerPoints.

Tesla is a car company. Maybe some day it’ll be defined by some other lines of business too. Maybe one day they’ll even surpass Yamaha.



Tesla fans don't seem to be aware of the existence of conglomerates. Imagine Tesla did half the things Hyundai did.
