Tesla is simply a car maker and...

Wrong, and full of FUD. Tesla is much more than a car maker. Heavily invested in AI, robotics, energy creation, etc. Just their energy division may surpass their car profits (they're becoming a power-utility company). Then there is their contributions to research with Musk's other companies, like SpaceX with Starlink and metals research, and AI with NeuraLink. I suggest you do some research into Tesla and their operations. Musk suggested that they won't be focused on selling cars in the future, it will be a side operation for producing RoboTaxis and commercial vehicles.

Excuse me, they are only a 90% car maker. My mistake.

It is a shrewd idea to shift focus from producing cars as a core business because that promotion has about reached the end of its shelf life. The hype and the vehicle to take advantage of it and subsidies hit a home run though for Musk and some others.

A power and utility company? I’m sure they will do much better than ConEd and the rest. If they choose to get into smal nuclear they are just another part of a large pack with the same goal, one may be successful. All other business streams contribute about 10% to the revenue of Tesla. Musk is a master of shifting the goal post to new, bigger and better than the last goal that has not yet panned out well for anyone but Musk.

If ad hominem attacks are the best you can do leave me alone. You are entitled to your opinions and choice of facts just as well as I am.
