I don't really care if Tesla's account balance is ok, as long as it's selling something big and new, it's an improvement.
Making electric cars is not just a business, money and accounting doesn't matter at this point. The money side for large projects like this, is an abstraction you cannot focus on. Negative account books will always exist where innovation happens.
Forget the money, and try to think what gets made. That's all that matters.
- danso 8y agoTesla is a public company. Accounting is very much an important thing, or are you suggesting it’s OK for them to cook the books as long as they do it for a good cause?
