Anyways, its a terrible idea because Tesla is insanely overvalued as a company. In my opinion, they shouldn't be worth 1% of what they are valued at. Their cars are crap, their business model is unscaleable, they are either horrendously irresponsible or incompetent when it comes to R&D testing (don't Beta test with paying customers), they have a history of over promising and under delivering, and have never made an annual profit from selling cars.

One of their biggest saving graces in the eyes of the 'true believers' is that they are untainted by conventional automakers, a merger with GM obliterates that.
If you are thinking Tesla is only a car manufacturer then yes I will agree with you they are over valued, But they do other things. the reason the stock is so high is because of the batteries they produce. Power storage for electrical grids is huge people who are investing in Tesla stock understand they are investing on the future not the past.
