You should tread boldly--with fact-based insights. We welcome vigorous debate, but debate requires that one can back up one's opinions.
High-growth firms should not be putting profits to the bottom line. Corporations generate profits when they have no investment opportunities with above-market risk-adjusted rate of returns. Tesla is making a solid operating profit; for the six months ending June 30, 2014, Tesla generated over $57 million of cash flow from operating activities. Likewise, if Tesla hadn't invested $108 million in R&D last quarter, it would have had a GAAP profit of $46 million. (Figures are from the
10-Q, Cash Flow and Income statements.)
Personally, I'm happy that Tesla management is finding lots to do with its cash flow from operations; it indicates that they see many ways to grow the company. A stock's price isn't about a company's current profitability, but rather the stream of future profits.
