Not a surprise. Tesla lost money for like 8 or 9 years before they became profitable. Also, Tesla is killing the competition on price. They have the lowest price and still make a profit at that price.

I wonder if that is net or gross. I believe they are getting a ton of carbon credits back from the gov't for selling those things.

On an average day, how many times do you say (or type) the word Tesla?

Without government aid and selling pollution credits, Tesla would be a loser. Standing alone building and selling only EV's, it would be out of business in short order. Like other EV producers, it is inherently parasitic.

But restaurants gain $$ from selling warm meals to EV drivers, so it's a win-win.

Not true. Sales would slightly decrease but not a huge difference. Cars would just sell slightly slower but people would still buy them. Tesla sold very very well during the time that they charged over $65k for a Model Y and there was no tax credit.

They need to fire the management team, and all upper-level managers.
Then hire OBC, as I would tell them to make only Mustangs, F-series, SUVs and figure out how to make at least 10X the current production of GTs, as all are presold and they could sell every damn one they make. Of course as CEO, we would have a Thursday evening managment meetings at the strip club, and then rehash all the strategies discussed on the golf course on Friday. |

Well - other than the battery, it is a very low quality car - cheap to produce.

If it wasn't for the F-series trucks, Ford would be toast.
