    Dbl I’m on your side but aws will be worth more than amazon retail in a few years

    I’ve yet to see what is tech about Tesla other than their location.

    their market cap is 650,000 per car sold. Have fun with that

    Maybe, still has a long way to go to do that. The growth is crazy though.

    AWS accounted for about 13.5% of Amazon’s total revenue for the quarter, which is on the higher end.

    If they say they're a fork lift company, then sure. The market will judge their plan and price accordingly.

    By your logic movie theaters are popcorn companies.

    It's "not about revenue" bc you want Tesla to be more today than it really is.

    but is that not what the stock market is about and what they are all arguing with you about? It’s speculation not reality.

    It's comments like this that I laugh at.


    Tesla is basically Google. They just make cars on the side. Its really a tech company.

    Not doing this again today though. If you want Tesla to be so much more than a car company today, go for it.

    Tech companies do a lot of things and disrupt industries. Just b/c they make and distribute things is irrelevant

    The sole fact that you claim Amazon is not a tech company invalidates any opinion you have on the subject. They are literally the 3rd largest tech company in the world

    I never actually said that. I just said they are a retailer first. Thats their core. I just find it odd that Tesla guys are so offended when its labeled a car company when 94% of their revenue comes from cars. "Its a tech company!" "Its an energy company!" Maybe one day, but right now its a car company.

    Why are they good at retail? Because they are a tech company. They found a way to monetize their tech capabilities.

    Apple, Intel, Google, IBM, Oracle, and Adobe are tech companies.

    A company that derives 94% of its revenue from selling automobiles is an automobile company. Ford, GM, Toyota, Renault, VW, Hyundai, and Tesla are automobile companies. Most sell other things but all are automobile companies.

    Amazon is a lot of things. Retail, logistics, tech. I still contend they are a retailer above all. They use tech and logistics to be the world's largest retailer.

    amazon is the unholy culmination of the ecommerce dream of the 90s (and probably before)

    getting hired by amazon is also a money-feather in the cap of smart and ambitious software engineer bros to this day. as a tech person, it probably increases your salary by like 20% just on name alone if you've worked there and you're trying to find a different job. it's like getting hired by goldman sachs for finance people.

    Right, I get that. But they aren't Shopify. Yes they have a ton of tech people to build out and maintain their platform but the end result is them being a retailer.

    just to summarize things that no one cares about

    the largest ecommerce company in the history of mankind, which has zero point-of-sale locations, which hires software engineers by the thousands every year, which ruthlessly destroyed countless brick and mortar businesses because of their tech and shipping advantages as a direct result of the convenience of buying shit through your computer or phone... is not a tech company

    Of course. Does that make Walmart a real estate company bc their buildings allow them to sell shit? Or is owning a lot of brick and mortars just part of being a giant retailer?

    This is my thought when you try to label any company that uses tech to reach their end goal as a tech company.
