Electric vehicles and energy storage. We rebuild its market value from the price, split it into its parts, and compare its multiples with those of its largest competitors.
Verified figures, not advice. Every number on this page comes from the company's own filings or from exchange prices, and the source is linked. Every calculation is shown, so you can repeat it. What we do not do is tell you what a share should be worth or whether to buy it: that depends on your goals and on forecasts, and no multiple can settle it. This is a snapshot: prices of 12 Oct 2026, company results up to mid 2026. Found a mistake? Tell us and we correct it.

The price of the whole business, as a buyer would see it
Of the $1.49tn market value, accounting book equity is $86.9bn. The remaining $1.41tn is what investors pay above the books: brands, software, customer relationships and expected growth that the balance sheet does not record. Price to book is 17.2x.
Context: Tesla earns an EBITDA margin of 10%. The peers earn 8%, 0% (median 4%). A company that keeps more of each dollar of sales often trades at a higher multiple.
GM and Ford are the largest listed car makers in the same market. Both also own large finance arms, which inflate their reported debt.
- EV / EBITDA: 134.5x against a peer median of 116.9x (mean 116.9x). Difference to the median: +15%.
- EV / sales: 14.1x against a peer median of 0.9x (mean 0.9x). Difference: +1386%.
- P/E: 392.5x against a peer median of 38.9x. Difference: +908%.

Questions people ask
Does a higher multiple than competitors mean the share is overvalued?
No. It means investors pay more per dollar of sales or profit. The reason can be faster growth, higher margins or lower risk, or it can be excess optimism. A multiple gap is a question to investigate, not an answer.
Why use enterprise value and not only market cap?
Market cap prices the shares only. Enterprise value adds debt and subtracts cash, so it compares the whole business regardless of how it is financed.
Why show both the mean and the median of competitors?
The mean is pulled up by one extreme value. The median is the middle value and resists outliers. When they differ a lot, trust the median more.
