I'm thinking on valuation, F is valued at around 12x and TSLA is down to about 80x, the growth acceleration supported that. I believe F has way more free cash flow but it's market cap is well below TSLA, that won't last as with any growth stock. Just my opinion on you holding onto a growth stock, any growth stock for that matter.

Yeah, oddly enough no Telslas out of the 2 million sold have plowed down children. The guy who paid for those commercials is the CEO of a company that provides automotive operating system software, to include ADAS. So he's hardly unbiased. Also note that the NTSB already told that guy that he was not cleared to use their logo.
Somehow I would have to guess that there is some truth to what was being portrayed in those commercials otherwise, legal minds much better than any here would have shut that down WAY before it made it on to TV. Much less to the largest viewing audience on the planet!
I don't see this as much of an issue, commercial vehicles are much heavier already.To Keep Roads Safe America’s Guardrails Will Need Replaced Under Biden’s EV Mandate
Electric vehicles typically weigh significantly more than gasoline-powered cars and can easily crash through steel highway guardrails that are not designed to withstand the extra force, raising concerns about roadside safety, according to a crash test by the University of Nebraska. Electric vehicles typically weigh 20 percent to 50 percent more than gas-powered vehicles due to their batteries that can weigh almost as much as a small gas-powered car. For example, Ford’s F-150 Lightning EV pickup is 2,000 to 3,000 pounds heavier than the same model’s combustion version. The Mustang Mach E electric SUV and the Volvo XC40 EV are roughly 33 percent heavier than their gasoline counterparts. Besides the weight factor, electric vehicle batteries are typically installed under the vehicle, giving it a low center of gravity. Because of these differences, guardrails do little to stop electric vehicles from pushing through the barriers typically made of steel. Paradoxically, the Department of Transportation’s National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) is currently proposing a steep hike in fuel economy standards that will result in forcing two-thirds of new auto sales to be electric by 2032.
The U.S. guardrail system was not made to handle vehicles greater than 5,000 pounds and there are a lot of new vehicles in the 7,000-pound range being manufactured.

Trucks are mostly higher than guardrails they generally hit the top of them, EVs have a lower center of gravity and will hit them lower where they are designed to be struck, but apparently not with a vehicle over 5000 lbs. So yeah there is a problem.
True but it isn't a issue of commercial vs private. It is an issue of sum total if the EV mandate comes to fruition. I believe it will be rescinded or at least pushed out.
Guard rails are a last resort at keeping the occupant safe. My best friend had a summer job with a state highway commission while in college for civil engineering. his job was to go out with paper maps and along roads to mark where he thought it would be better to hit a guard rail than to go over the hill or hit the side of a mountain.
Maybe because guardrails are not designed to stop a truck , if they were they would he both stronger and higher. A truck hits high goes over the guardrail and goes down a ravine or hits something. An EV hits the guardrail goes thru it and goes down a ravine or hits something because it weighs more than the guardrail was designed to stop, Just like the truck.
If they were designed to stop a commercial truck it would be like hitting the side of a mountain for a passenger car.
That will get walked back, simply isn't realistic. They are part of our future.
Its not, they are stating that EVs are heavier than most conventional vehicles, physics is physics the laws don't change just because you don't understand it.
I understand the physics perfectly, I am asking you why does it matter with EVs when it apparently didn't matter with those other vehicles?
I personally think they should speed it up. I support Governor Moore on principle, but we don’t have 11 more years.
