For Tesla to achieve that they would need to be still around in a year. Right now the numbers do not look very good but of course that can change again.

  That's being said since Tesla was founded.

    They were actually in a great position until they bailed out Elon’s other company Solar City. Its one of the most blatantly unethical deals I’ve ever seen and the company has been in a perilous position since then.

      The final chapter has yet to be written for that deal.

  Their losses of about $1bn/yr are fairly small compared to their market cap of about $43bn at the moment implying they could finance things for quite a while. Though as you say things can change.

  Look at cash flow and you'll see a story different from the casual media reports. Over $600mm in positive operating cash flow net of cap-ex in the last quarter. Over $1.3bn in positive operating cash flow net of cap-ex over the last four quarters. Currently they have $4.9 billion in cash and another 1.1 billion in short term receivables. And accounts payable balance has actually been paid down over the last four quarters. I don't own any but a lot of the financial journalism on tsla seems a little lazy.
