- peteforde 14y agoThe reoccurring theme in your comments amounts to: "Tesla sucks!" What's your beef? Seriously curious.
- taligent 14y agoI think Tesla is great apart from Musk's childish overreactions (which many people don't like). But I was just wondering where this nonsense 1.5 billion revenue came from ?
- makomk 14y agoHis comment is accurate: http://www.marketwatch.com/investing/stock/tsla/financials http://www.marketwatch.com/investing/stock/tsla/financials It is also, for some mysterious reason, massively downvoted. Where exactly did this $1.5 billion+ figure come from, and why did taligent's reply to you asking where it came from get so heavily downvoted it's now [dead]?
- moakleaf 14y agoBecause, for the majority of 2012, Tesla didn't produce the Tesla S. They only started producing 400 cars/week late in the last quarter. So you really cannot use last year's numbers for anything, and therefore last years revenue/income is completely irrelevant. The 1.5 billion comes from estimating what this year's revenue will be based on the number of cars they currently produce/deliver (which is in the 4-500 range). It is based on about 7500$ profit/car and 20000 cars/yr, but in fairness, that is just an educated guess. Given that they are now profitable, the key questions are: How large is the profit-margin really. If demand will keep up and allow production to increase. Is there some yet to be revealed gigantic technical issue that will require Tesla to call back all cars.
