I haven't researched specifics on Tesla, but typically bigger => larger margins in the automotive world. Manufacturers weren't thrilled when the Obama administration pushed for higher fuel economy after the bailouts. The margins on the small cars were much lower than on trucks and SUV's.
For example, Ford's F-150 line is worth an incredible amount of money.
"Morgan Stanley analyst Adam Jonas has estimated that the F-Series, which includes F-150 and Super Duty trucks and remains the best-selling lineup in America, is responsible for 90% of the automaker’s global profits."
