I am not holding my breath for GAAP profitability in the near future but that’s because I expect Tesla to reinvest any available revenue to favor long-term growth over short term profitability.
Sure. The problem is that Tesla OpEx isn't really investment. It's just money to keep the lights burning in the sales center. Well of course that's a gross simplification and some of the expenses (like hiring a new sales advisor) are in a way an investment. But they as short term frontrunners of additional revenue and by far don't have the multiplicative properties like real investment in for example R&D for the semi has. I'd like Tesla to be a little more frugal on the OpEx side so there is more for CapEx, not necessarily to be profitable.
