The numbers are already provided, but here they are again:

[ATTACH=full]136212[/ATTACH][ATTACH=full]136213[/ATTACH]

So in the same order moving L to R: TSLA, F, GM, TM:

Return on investment (ROI) has TSLA slightly ahead at 5%, which is still a real negative return if using CPI inflation at 7%. But of course the more accurate figure is the PPI number which for 2021 was 9.7%. Which provides a return of (- 4.7%). The reason that we use the PPI is because TSLA is a manufacturer sourcing raw materials and selling to consumers, the CPI number.

The PPI is knifing higher, which is why CPI numbers are driving higher: producers are trying to pass their cost structure forward to the end consumer.

So TSLA is the best of a bad bunch (industry) at least as far as these examples demonstrate. Possibly Volkswagon might have better numbers.

So as regards 'productivity' TSLA does not outrun inflation. Not even close.
