# The Real Reason Tesla Is Taking a Different Path Than Uber – Understanding the Hidden Strategy… 7 hours ago This article, I found weird. When I look at Uber what I see is -- - Limited lifespan that will ultimately be competing with companies who own the technology after going through major changes including massive new, novel, well-known competitors; - 10 Billion + in intangible assets - Relatively little net tangible assets - Most real value appears to be in an intangible brand that will require a lot of capital to start over. - $30B in liabilities, many of which are short-term. I just don't know if they're going to be able to win this, and the potential for a big loss is high. The only way they can compete with Tesla/Way-Mo is by joining them. So, they're going to be highest cost operation if they can't change to newer tech; and they're going to be systemically unable to turn a profit unless they acquire vehicles. I'm known for being notoriously wrong on predicting stuff but it seems like they're starting today with one hand tied behind their backs.
