Dude, the kid wasn’t trying to approach the other drivers. He was trying to approach Tony, and approach he did.

I don’t think you even know what you are talking about

Sure, but only because it was way too fucking high to being with. A short term cash crunch is by no means going to doom Tesla, and I see no evidence that this is a long term issue.

Says the guy who can’t write more than a sentence

Says the guy who thinks stock prices are based on meeting production targets

Production targets are arbitrary and so is the ability to meet them. Stock prices are entirely based on futures speculation, which is the only reason Tesla’s market cap rivals industry leaders despite selling a tiny fraction of the number of cars.

They have a pretty clear path to profitability: Build more cars. Obviously. Considering the company is set to produce 100,000 cars per year when they have produced only 100,000 cars total so far tells me they are rapidly achieving that

How can the car be profitable and the company not be profitable?

Why don’t you just admit you have no idea what the numbers are and are just guessing? The Model X and S have great margins, no reason the 3 won’t either. If they weren’t working on a semi, a roadster, a pickup and a crossover, building out the gigafactory and the 3 production line, Tesla would be pulling a meaty…

Profits are cost accounting BS now? K. That is one of the dumber internet claims I have heard today

Hey look, a moron.

That’s 70% of expected cash flow that delayed for whatever reason

Tesla cars are profitable. The company is not. Its amazing how many people don’t understand what the word “profit” means.

Actually, an electric pickup would be a towing monster if given enough range

You do realize Musk is worth $20B right? They have enough cash for now and Musk himself can plug any holes for the near term. This is only an issue if production numbers can’t right the ship in the next 2 years or people stop buying them

Amazon was in a unique space with no real viable competitors.

You do understand that Tesla cars are quite profitable. The company Tesla is not profitable. Those two things can both be true at the same time. Please don’t comment on profits if you don’t understand what the word means

Their production targets are irrelevant. It only matters if they can start building enough of them before they run out of cash and people stop lending them more. Musk himself has the means to generate the needed cash if he needs to, this is only an issue over the long term (> 1-2 years).

Tesla cars are already quite profitable, they just aren’t building enough of them to justify the debt yet

Actually, Musk has long maintained that he saw 3 primary areas from which the world could be changed. Renewable energy, electric vehicles (those two go hand in hand more or less) and making a colony on Mars
