Ask HN: What are you excited about / looking forward to?

Maybe "orders of magnitude" was a misstatement. looks like ~12 billion (tesla) vs 53 billion (toyota). Maybe I'm a stock noob, but profit margins seem like an arbitrary silly metric to care about. What does it really mean? I could could make something for a dollar and sell it for 2 and my gross margin is 50%...but that doesn't mean i have more money than tesla. Profit margin is just an indirect measure of if you are doing ok, but at the end of the day money == money. Higher profit margin does not mean you have more money relative to your competitor, unless you can keep that profit margin AND beat your competitors in quantity sold.

The real tangible value would be cold hard cash which toyota has more of. Cash on hand for toyota is 76 billion. Tesla is 12 billion. Toyota has nearly 3x the employees but earns ~55k more per employee (profit/employee).
