My understanding is Tesla is development process company focused on learning and iterating with the production being only by-product of that process, necessary to keep the promise of greateness alive and also to support the learning process.
My experience, it is neigh impossible to really learn without delivering the product, but you can learn without bringing in profit.

Either they win big by discovering some revolutionary tech that they can patent and sublicense to the established car manufacturers or they go down, because there is only so much people willing to invest their money in a dream.
