Ep.319

Should you buy a Tesla car — or buy Tesla stock?They may share the same name, but financially, they are two very different decisions.

In this episode of More Knowledge, More Wealth, Gabriel Shahin, CFP®, breaks down the real-world economics of owning a Tesla versus investing in Tesla as a $1.5 trillion company. One decision can save you money and time. The other is a high-risk, high-expectation investment built on future assumptions.

What you’ll learn: • The true cost savings of owning a Tesla as a daily driver (fuel, maintenance, time) • Why a Tesla can effectively “pay for itself” over time compared to gas vehicles • The real benefits of EV ownership, Autopilot, and Full Self-Driving • How Tesla compares to other EVs on price, technology, and convenience • Why Tesla stock is valued higher than the next 19 auto manufacturers combined • A breakdown of Tesla’s revenues, profits, margins, and slowing growth • How much of Tesla’s valuation depends on future bets like Optimus robots • Why Tesla stock trades at extreme multiples — and what that means for investors • The difference between a great product and a speculative investment

Bottom line: Buying a Tesla car can make financial sense. Buying Tesla stock requires patience, risk tolerance, and belief in a future that hasn’t arrived yet.

Tesla is innovative, profitable, and disruptive — but at current valuations, it’s not a no-brainer investment. Understanding the difference between consumption and capital allocation is what separates smart financial decisions from emotional ones.
