A rally in Tesla shares [...] briefly vaulted the company's market capitalization past the German luxury carmaker in early Friday trading. The amount of ground Tesla covered was vast: BMW was valued at a $30 billion premium as of early December.

[...] Short interest represented about one fourth of the shares as of the latest quarterly filing.

—Bloomberg

According to The Drive the three most valuable auto makers are "Toyota, Daimler, and Volkswagen."

Tesla stock sat at $357.32 after market close after trading as high as $376.87 on Friday.

    The former competition doesn't even exist in this century.

    Ford. Founded 1903. Old. Dinosaur. Irrelevant.

    General Motors. Founded 1908. Old. Dinosaur. Irrelevant.

    Chrysler. Founded 1925. Old. Dinosaur. Irrelevant.

    Tesla. Founded 2003. New. Hip. Relevant.
