I don't think any of the upfront investment or capital expenditure is included in the 1.4 billion calculation. Thats purely operating loss.

  The $1.4bn is $300mn cash flows used in operating activities + $1.1bn capex.

    So, can we assume that if the production has to be multiplied by 10, the cash flow used for operating activities should also be multiplied by almost 10, giving expenses of way more than $1.4bn?

      No, because a huge cost for them right now is underutilization of assets (factory, tooling, some workers, etc.). Their utilization rate will improve, and so operating costs should not scale linearly with revenue growth. "Should" being the key word.
