Looking at Tesla financial statements they are yet to make a profit, did they lose $289 million last year.

I wonder if they have stopped them catching on fire.

I think the Aussie made Sunswift set the 500km record for a battery powered car, the UNSW hopes to sell a few.

Has Holden or Ford ever made a profit without corporate welfare ?

At least Tesla paid back their half a billion loan from the Federal Government. That's a lot more than you can say about Holden or Ford. You will never see the money again from those two pirates.

And how long has Tesla been in business compared with Ford and Holden ?

Get over yourself, bike-rider. Cars have to suit the purpose - something you don't get - probably because you don't drive and never been in a car any distance except in handcuffs.

Come back when you have bought your first car!

yeh I don't have a car because somehow you think owning one makes you so superior to everyone else that nobody else could ever own one Cheesy

LOL

It is illogical and stupid comments like that one which makes people mock you.

Over 500 sold here since Jan this year. This is something longloser aka maria completely failed to predict. "It" said that they were too expensive at 129K and that none would ever sell here Wink

Also the success of the Tesla in the market is a direct consequence of the Silicon Valley culture which you don't get from flipping houses.

Are you sure it's only half a billion?

Quote:

Liberal entrepreneur Elon Musk’s business ventures have benefited from nearly $5 billion in government subsidies in the past few years, but apparently that’s not enough taxpayer support to stop his electric car business from losing $4,000 on every vehicle it sells.

Tesla Motors “burned $359 million in cash last quarter in a bull market for luxury vehicles,” according to Reuters, causing the company to “cut its production targets for this year and next.” Musk may even be forced to sell more stock to help plug the gap in the company’s finances.

Reuters reported that “Tesla plans to build between 50,000 and 55,000 cars this year,” most of which are built-to-order. The company’s latest filings showed it “delivered 11,532 cars in the second period and said it had an operating loss of about $47 million, for an operating loss per car of about $4,000.”

Interestingly enough, Tesla’s losses may be much higher than the company reports. Reuters notes that using “generally accepted accounting principles, or GAAP, used by GM or Ford, Tesla’s operating losses per vehicle have steadily widened to $14,758 from $3,794 in the second quarter of 2014.”

The subsidies are indirect subsidies through discounts on ANY electric car. They are not money given directly to Tesla.

Unlike Holden and Ford here which have squandered tens of billlions in subsidies making non luxury cars Sad
