Because they can’t sell the car for what it cost to produce. FSD has added ~$3,000 of essentially pure profit



Nope, that's not profit. That's positive cash-flow. They are investing heavily into developing FSD.

I'm doubtful whether that racket will pay off. I guess they will have to pay more and more back to disillusioned buyers. It certainly hasn't turned into profit yet and rather looks like a massive risk.


They can recognize some of it as pure profit.
