Wait a minute. That article is from February 2015, and a lot of the assumptions, based on nothing but speculation and misinformation, have been proven wrong with time. It even cites Seeking Alpha as a source.
Idiots.
No, that is wrong. The Model S has about a $20,000 profit per car. They're just spending money building the company's infrastructure like the Gigafactory, expanding their Freemont factory, building a Supercharger network, etc. faster than the money's coming in.The Model S isn't profitable and the Model X crossover won't be either, that article says, although Tesla does make money selling California zero-emission credits to other carmakers.
Idiots.
