Is Tesla worth more than Apple?
This past Wednesday Tesla announced that it posted record revenue in the third quarter, but still missed Wall Street estimates, as the electric car maker led by billionaire Elon Musk had fewer vehicles than expected, while spending on new factories and the production of new batteries reduced margins.

Tesla is also expanding rapidly despite jitters in the global economy, and investors are watching for signs that a cooling economy is hurting demand.
Against that backdrop, the company’s third-quarter auto gross margin was 27.9 percent, below analyst estimates and down from 30.5 percent a year earlier.
Tesla’s revenue for the third quarter was $21.45 billion, a record but below analyst estimates of $21.96 billion, according to IBES data from Refinitiv.

“Inflation in raw material costs affected our profitability, along with ramping inefficiencies” from its new factories in Berlin and Texas, and production of its new 4680 batteries, according to Tesla’s statement.
Let us remember that Apple is one of the most important technology companies in the world, which is why, according to its annual report, it registers America as the largest regional market, with net sales of 51.5 billion US dollars in the first quarter of the year. fiscal year 2022 of the company.
