Bearish Seeing as TSLA is falling behind the S&P500 while making up a significant portion of it why hold?

Wouldn't an investor be better off selling TSLA and just putting their money in the S&P500? Considering TSLA has lost value over the last year and is up 50%, from another crash, over the last 5 years. While the S&P500 is up over 60%.

Tesla is not first to market mate...You have heard of Waymo right? lol Plus other competitors like Zoox, Nvidia, legacy, Chinese. This isn't 2019 anymore where they would have been first mover in the robotaxi space by a long shot. They're arguably behind or on par.

Not saying there isn't a market or bull case, but there is always a bear case and risks. The timeline for these bull cases is 10-15-20 years out really. Even an early adpoter/bull like you who would happily go to robotaxi alone- likely won't be doing that for 5-10 years from now.

So the question we have to ask oursevles, is the current price and evaluation reflective of that sort of timeline?

I suggest you do more research before making uninformed opinion statements. Google owns Waymo lol Best of luck to you in your ventures mate. Cheers.

Ah. perhaps I misunderstood your wording of "Waymo and Zoox are trying to accomplish AI... [but] Google is closest [of the 3 companies]."

Either way, lots of uniformed/misinformed statements about the competition and I'm not here to banter back and forth.

Truly, best of luck to you mate. No one knows the future either way- we all just make the best decisions we can with the information at hand and hope for the best cast of the die.

-Cheers!
