That's a nice story, but the numbers don't support the narrative. Tesla's been reporting revenue for 13 years (that I can find). So I took the first 13 years of both Tesla and Amazon financials. Amazon was breakeven by year 7. Telsa is just losing more money as time goes on. (Apologies for bad HN formatting). Here's the data: Tesla annual net income, in millions: Year 1: -$78 Year 2: -$82 Year 3: -$56 Year 4: -$154 Year 5: -$254 Year 6: -$396 Year 7: -$74 Year 8: -$294 Year 9: -$889 Year 10: -$675 Year 11: -$1,961 Year 12: -$976 Q1+Q2 Year 13: -$1110 Amazon annual net income, in millions (rounded): Year 1: $0 Year 2: -$100 Year 3: -$700 Year 4: -$1400 Year 5: -$600 Year 6: -$100 Year 7: $0 Year 8: $600 Year 9: $400 Year 10: $200 Year 11: $500 Year 12: $600 Year 13: $900
