Are you including Tesla among those 14 carmakers? Tesla now has a $180+ billion market cap. The largest of any carmaker passing Toyota at $176+ billion.

In Tesla’s case, as with so many non- or minimally-profitable yet highly-promoted tech and social media companies in the past, market cap can represent a lot of unwarranted hype + hope.
After all, traditional carmakers have a lot of installed sales infrastructure to sell their EVs, while Tesla is still battling state legislatures that are protecting local car dealerships.
