Tesla turned a profit for the fourth straight quarter, making it eligible to join the S&P 500 stock index — and become part of the retirement accounts of millions of Americans.

Tesla's stock has enjoyed towering gains this year, going from $430 a share at the start of 2020 to nearly $1,600 at the close of trading Wednesday. It's the biggest automaker by market value. Even its CEO, Elon Musk, has called the company's stock overvalued.

If Tesla joins the S&P 500, as expected, many investment funds will be obligated to buy it, which means it will become part of many people's retirement savings."We believe the progress we made in the first half of this year has positioned us for a successful second half of 2020," the company said earlier this month.

"Production output of our existing facilities continues to improve to meet demand, and we are adding more capacity. Later this year, we will be building three factories on three continents simultaneously," it said.

Now if Elon can just stop wanking off to putting gated communities on Mars, and get to making the cars affordable for the rest of us.

By 2030, Tesla will be worth $10,000 a share, or ten hamburgers.

Best fraud in America.

musk is from africa seems to do ok eternal life Jesus go big 80 yrs 200 mph vs eternity speed of thought Jesus seems ok

In this economy? Suuuuuure.

Of course, it's not REALLY a green car: electricity still requires burning fuel to create.

Lol when the tesla bubble pops say bye to those retirement accounts

Thats a low bar.

I’m betting there is some major book cooking for that lol

Yeesh.... So, when they finally lose their valuation as a tech company and get a more reasonable P/E ratio (like those for auto companies), we're all screwed. This is bad news.

And all they had to do was give China cheaper cars than they offer to Americans! $143 to secure a vehicle was given in the face of the closest thing the modern world has seen to a Gulag in 60 years. But hey, Tesla's making money, who cares if it's tyrant's money, right?

Can not wait to hear Marketplace take on that

Tesla Knocks on S&P 500’s DoorThe electric-car firm could nail down its first four-quarter profit on Wednesday, a development that could spur its addition to the S&P 500—potentially intensifying demand for the red-hot shares. 🤣🤣🤣 WTF Good. They did the right thing by reopening, since not everyone can afford nannies and tutors like the limo liberals who want indefinite lockdown.

How Tesla defined a new era for the global auto industryTesla Inc's rapid rise to become the world's most valuable carmaker could mark the start of a new era for the global auto industry, defined by a Silicon Valley approach to software that is overtaking old-school manufacturing know-how. EdTaylorJourno JBWEyesonroad We live in the age of idiots EdTaylorJourno JBWEyesonroad Anyone can have good software and battery tech nowadays. Tesla will simply become the netscape/myspace/napster in its field. Let us not forget that Tesla is built on hype. They've overpromised and under(or never)delivered many times. EdTaylorJourno JBWEyesonroad By selling cheap cars to China while they are committing a blatant genocide against the Uyghurs? Yep, really defining an era, I'll give you that. Hear me, yet Tesla? I'll be making calls all day tomorrow.
