      Interesting. So the carbon credit business is growing and/or the car business is shrinking to the point that without the credits they aren’t profitable again.

      Tesla would be in the red were it not for carbon credits – something that hasn’t happened in the last two years.

        Ok, so I misread that as being in the red hadn’t happened for them in two years. Either way, they’re a carbon credit and battery company that sometimes make shoddily built cars, not the other way around.
