Bluephrog ... how can you
Bluephrog ... how can you call a LOAN "giving money"? A loan where in fact Tesla is making both interest and principal payments while at the same time building a factory and developing a car from scratch and hiring 3,500 employees and building stores in the U.S., Canada and Europe.
By your definition any start-up company is a loser. Is that how you want to see the world? Really?
Tesla's current phase is simply that of a start-up company, and like all of them it requires investment to keep afloat until it gains enough sales to become profitable.
In the case of Tesla (and Fisker for that matter) both are successfully raising private capital.
