Not sure what your point is. If you are growinig like crazy in a capital intense industry, you are bound to grow your loses. Tesla could have chosen to sell zero cars and have zero losses. What matters is demand and profitable unit economica (Tesla cars have healthy gross margins)
- dragontamer 8y agoOkay, well lets ignore CapEx then (~$600 Million). Yeah, lets get rid of it. Pretend that in Q2 2018 Tesla spent ziltch, nada, absolutely nothing, on expanding its factories or buying equipment. EVEN IF WE IGNORE $600 Million worth of CapEx, Tesla is still $100 million loss. Again, Tesla lost a total of $742 million, and no, investments into equipment or building space does NOT fully explain the loss.
