Too simplistic.

(cont)
The reason Tesla stock was so high, even when they were making losses, was that the market believed Musk's hype that they were a technology company creating a paradigm shift. The reason the stock is falling is the market is realising that Tesla are just another auto maker who have to screw the metal together and sell it, and the electric vesicle space is now filling up as the legacy car makers catch up, and other, lower-cost companies enter the market (BYD) with cheaper manufacturing costs; plus having watched and learned from Tesla's initial problems and successes.

The one big advantage that Tesla has IMHO is the Supercharger network. The Genius Musk has just laid off all the staff that worked on it. Go figure.
And do not believe his hype about self-driving cars - the only way that can work is in an isolated environment. They're decades away from being smart enough to mix it with the average human driver';

Tesla actually makes cars, they produce almost all of the parts on the car. Ferrari does a lot more than any of their competitors, they make their own engines at least. A company like Mclaren or Aston Martin is just doing the assembly and marketing, they don't make most of the car, it's all suppliers. Suppliers are all making a decent profit or they will just not renew their contracts, so these types are brands are very constrained in how much profit they can make, and more susceptible to the market cooling down.';

You clearly don't understand Ferrari's business model. They aren't a car company at all. They are a merchandise company that has a very prestigious name, and their primary focus with their profits from merchandising is to fund the race team. The car business is a side-business meant to keep the brand aspirational. Most of Ferrari's profits come from merchandise. Don't believe me? Think about all those Puma shoes with Ferrari logos, backpacks, video games, notebooks, etc. Everything with the Ferrari badge in it is a revenue source for the company. Enzo himself didn't care about the road-car business. It was something he had to do to be able to fund the race-team. This is why when Ferruccio Lamborghini complained about the clutch in his Ferrari, Enzo didn't give two flying fucks about it. The road-cars were not the priority. I'd bet that if Enzo were alive right now, seeing how profitable the merchandise side of the business has become, he would end sales of the road-cars altogether because the merchandise would be more than enough to fund the race-team.';
