Tesla Officially Becomes The Worldโ€™s Most Valuable Car Company

Having tailed the competition for some time now, Tesla has overtaken Toyota to officially become the worldโ€™s most valuable car company. As per the data collated by Visual Capitalist, the automaker (NASDAQ: TSLA) holds a market cap of US$183 billion, beating out Toyotaโ€™s (NYSE: TM) US$176 billion (as of June 16th).

An impressive feat, no doubt. Especially when you consider sales figures from the previous year. In the US alone, Toyota sold 2,383,349 vehicles while Teslaโ€™s efforts amounted to just 192,250. Despite production output having steadily increased in the last few quarters, however, this certainly raises questions about whether Teslaโ€™s stock is in fact overvalued.

Rounding out the rest of the top ten list, we have:

  • Volkswagen (VWAGY) at US$84 billion
  • Honda (NYSE: HMC) at US$45 billion
  • Damler (DDAIF) at US$44 billion
  • Ferrari (NYSE: RACE) & BMW (BMWYY) at US$42 billion
  • GM (NYSE: GM) at US$40 billion
  • Ford (NYSE: F) at US$26 billion
  • Nikola (NASDAQ: NKLA) at US$25 billion

Well, Iโ€™ll just say it outright โ€“ Iโ€™d really hate to be the bloke who thought shorting Tesla was a good idea. Moral of the story? Never try to disrupt a disruptor.
