Tesla actually makes money on every car they sell, in fact their gross margins are among the best (MB, BMW, etc), however they choose to dump lots of money into research and development for the future growth of EV's, and then they use up all the rest of this money.

Its the way biz in done in the silicon valley/wall street growth model. Its worked for Amazon, Facebook, PayPal, Apple, Google, etc.
