vs Tesla

The week's question

In December 2024, in the thread "Re: BRK: Why Not XOM?", BreckHutHigh asked the members: "What about the long road trips with kids?" This week it is put to everyone again. The button below opens the small thread re-asking it - read what others have said so far, then give your own answer as an ordinary reply.

I know Tesla just reported 4th quarter 2024 results, but based on 3rd quarter 2024 (since Berkshire hasn't released yet):

Berkshire
TTM revenue $370 billion
TTM owner earnings $121 billion
Market cap $1 trillion

Tesla
TTM revenue $97 billion
TTM owner earnings $8 billion
Market cap $1.2 trillion

I know the arguments why Tesla deserves a premium: AI, FSD, cybercabs, humanoid robots, etc., etc. But it's fascinating Tesla is worth more than Berkshire.

(And I'm no Tesla hater. Used to own shares. Sold out in 2020 (admittedly leaving money on the table).)
