Bingo!
Tesla sells Model S's at ~25% gross margin, reinvesting profits into PP&E. Smart move.

Tesla Model S is a great full-size luxury sedan. Nothing wrong with buying one!

I test drove it, loved it, just don't have any need for a car of that size in my garage. Model 3, on the other hand, will likely be a perfect replacement for my i3 the next years or so, when 4WD performance version of Model 3 comes out. I will need to test drive it first, for sure, but on paper, it looks great.
