I'm not making an argument about fundamental value. I'm just saying how they're valued by the markets, which is about more or less speculative expected returns.

To suggest that traditional auto manufacturers are going to compete with tech companies on tech is silly though. They have organizational cultures with deep roots. Tigers don't just change their stripes to spots and start keeping up with cheetahs.
