Quick Comparison on the Insanity that is TSLA


TSLA's valuation for most of this year has not made any sense, but it has broken away from a softening AI trade and made a new all-time high on 12/16/2025. I had to make a table to compare it against the rest of the Mag7. Recent financial media articles have stated that TSLA's recent price action is due to the Optimus robot (vaporware) and imminent robotaxi approval in Austin, TX. All of this ignores slowing growth in its core EV business. One thing TSLA had going for it was massive amounts of FCF from EV sales and clean energy tax credits. I have not yet been able to find a good publicly traded proxy for humanoid robots or robotaxis. Alphabet may be the closest thing, with its Waymo subsidiary. I thought I would add UBER to the table as well. I continue to be short TSLA via long TSLQ shares. My returns are absolutely horrid thus far, but I am going to try to be solvent for longer than the market can remain irrational, to flip the famous John Maynard Keynes quote. The difference in the following ratios is just astounding. The most likely explanation to this is forced dealer hedging due to the huge options market for TSLA contracts.
