Amazon has lost money for most of its 20 years in existence, and has a
PE ratio that borders on incredible
(http://www.ibtimes.com/amazon-nearly-20-years-business-it-still-doesnt-make-money-investors-dont-seem-care-1513368).
People are still buying it. In fact, their stock price recently made
them more valuable than Wallmart. Go figure.
Tesla is spending a lot right now to get their battery factory online.
Once it's producing batteries, their cost model will change dramatically.
Many have speculated that they will make more money on batteries than cars.

Hi,
The news today about Tesla is they lose $4,000 per car they sell...
makes you wonder how much longer that can continue? They are also
having to support all their Super charging stations across the country
(at no additional cost for customers), etc.
It's a great concept, and a great first generation electric car, but
it can't continue like this forever...
