They have put out contracts for something like $40 billion worth of batteries and have a dedicated EV factory so it is way mare than just intent.  Economies of scale mean much cheaper cars, s…Read more

A bit like share value or currency value only more so. I mean the value is only good for what is agreed. It is variable not really based on intrinsic worth despite the bricks and mortar involved. It goes up and down based on nothing more than current perceived market value.
