Re: Take a closer look at Musk's businesses
"Selling the model S at a $4,000 loss per car doesn't create profits" you have failed to understand the difference between per item profit and company profits. This is understandable due to a number of journalist making there point badly.
The 4000 figure is if you take tesla's losses and divide it by the number of cars sold, now if tesla did nothing but sell its current cars this would be a useful number but tesla is design a number of new cars and truck as well as build a very large battery factory and scaling up production and ...
So you would need to look at the cost of making the car against sale price to say if it is profitable to make the car.
I don't have the time At present to look out the articles but you can find them with a search that shows each tesla car make a nice profit.
