Tesla has very few liabilities compared to Ford, and nobody knows what kind of revenue they could achieve selling battery powered systems.

Their potential to replace grid power supplies for the sunnier parts of the world I think is worth more than their cars. They'll be selling solar roofs and battery systems as an integrated unit which will be immensely valuable for a lot of people.

In terms of scale, their battery plant under construction will likely be able to put out $30-60B worth of battery packs per year at current prices.
