description: "Many $Tesla(TSLA.US) retail investors continue to make three common mistakes:1/ Loving the company doesn’t mean you should love the stock.2/ Valuation matters. A stock at 220x forward earnings and growing at 35%/year is way more expensive than one at 20x earnings and growing at +15%/year. 3/ Don’t rely on management’s promises for your research.   Do a 360 degree research review before investing:  Customers, competitors, suppliers, company itself.Contrary to what some on X think, I don’t hate TSLA.  I like the company’s core businesses  (EVs, autonomy). As I’ve said since we exited TSLA in May 2025, I don’t like the valuation of the stock."
