> It's growth rate is 50%+ per year, by 2030 it should be selling 15-20 million vehicles per year.

I can't wait until 2040, when Tesla is selling 5 billion vehicles per year! </snark>

Really though, I don't think it is rational to believe that kind of growth rate is sustainable...

Tesla is severely supply constrained. Wait times in some areas is one year. They could easily sell 3-4 million this year if they had the supply, and this is before their $25k car which should be available by 2025.

Reminds me of a story.

A man walks into a shop and asks for a dozen eggs.

Shopkeeper: Sure thing. That will be $50.

Customer: (shocked) But, the shop on the other side of the road is selling them for a buck each.

Shopkeeper: So, why don't you go buy your eggs there...

Customer: Because they are all out of eggs today.

Shopkeeper: Once, i'm all out of eggs, then I too sell them for a buck each.

I don't see how this relates at all.
