So, no they aren't profitable


In what sense is Tesla profitable? They've had a few profitable quarters, but no profitable year yet.

The graph on the first page is free cash flow and deliveries not profits.

For fun, I looked at the quarterly net incomes[1] and the profits from the profitable quarters were wiped out in the very next quarter. Heck, 2019Q1 wiped out all profits on its own.

Cash flow is not profit.
