OK. This is funny. The market cap of Tesla, Elon Musks electrical car company, is 442 billion US dollars right now. Based on Q2 2020 they do sell 362,600 cars a year.
Dividing how much Tesla “is worth” (according to the people who buy ownership of it in form of stock) by the numbers of vehicles it puts on the road each year you end up with 1.2 million dollars.
So – somehow – each car that gets sold represents that Tesla will make 1.2 million dollars in the future. You own stock, so that the company will -at least- generate the amount you paid for it and give it to you. Teslas are not cheap. With 66,188 USD revenue per car made they rank second of all non specialized car makers. Right behind Mercedes Benz with 72,288 USD per car.
The made up indicator of market cap per car made for Mercedes is currently 22941.
So “market cap per annual car made” is 53 times higher for Tesla than it is for Daimler Benz.
Which would mean, that Teslas people are so smart, they could go home after the first week of the year, while Mercedes engineers would still need to work all year long to generate the same value.
Good old Ford Motor Company has a market cap of 4800 USD per annual car made right now. Tesla people supposedly generated the same value in one and a half days, while Ford people would have to toil a complete 365 of them.
If this makes sense to you, then please get in touch. There is this awesome bridge between Brooklyn and Manhattan that I could sell you for a really good price.
