You don't know how much it costs Tesla to make any car. I know that you don't know. And you know that I know.
Please share with us how selling carbon credits out of thin air isn’t a scam.
Tesla Made a Mountain of Money Selling Credits and Bitcoin (Not So Much in Cars)
Tesla made more money selling emissions credits and bitcoin than selling cars in the first quarter of 2021. Here's how that works.

It’s about $36,000, after all their magic accounting hoops they jump through.
If it were not for the “carbon credits” on the backs of industry that actually produces (oil and gas that are FORCED to buy the make believe credits) Tesla would have failed years ago. You know it, and I know that you know it.

Tesla Loses A Lot Of Money Selling Cars, But Makes It All Back On Credits And Bitcoin
On Monday after the close of business, Tesla announced its Q1 2021 financial results in its quarterly earnings call. The company turned a surprisingly large profit this quarter, but it didn’t do it by selling cars. Q1 net profit reached a new record for Tesla, at $438 million. Revenue for the...

Oh, he ain’t broke, he grifted well and is far from poor.
It’s the same lie that builds wind farms, “carbon credits” printed out of thin air, on the backs of actual profitable industries.
Not So “Green” Technology: The Complicated Legacy of Rare Earth Mining
"As much as technology is hailed as the panacea of the future, most of these innovations have a dirty underside: production of these new technologies requires companies to dig up what are referred to as rare earth elements (REEs)."

Carbon offsets are a scam - Greenpeace International
Carbon offsetting is truly a scammer's dream scheme. We need real climate not action, not greenwashing.

Offsetting Green Guilt (SSIR)
Voluntary carbon offsets allow people to invest in projects that allegedly counteract their greenhouse gas emissions. But can voluntary offsets help slow global warming? Or are offsets a way for consumers to buy their way out of bad feelings?

Lots of information that is ignored because of the green cult.

You don't sound like a car guy. You sound like a guy who only sees cars as an inconvenient way to move yourself from A to B and were chasing status symbols to project an outward appearance.
Your new tesla gets you the status you want, without all the "slow, noisy, antiquated shame" that real car guys don't see as "shame" at all. Owning a tesla is the real shame, and a guy like you is definitely NOT a "car guy".
Hopefully those cars are now with better owners who enjoy them for exactly the slow, noisy, antiquated machines of pure joy that they are.

I'm looking for hard facts.
When someone says "Tesla loses money on every car they make" I would expect them to show the cost of goods sold and revenue for each model.
Your article doesn't. It just says "believe me because I said so".

Don't change the subject.
You said Tesla loses money on every car they sell. That is a statement that needs to be backed up by a simple pair of numbers: cost of goods sold and revenue for same.
Taking sides on the Ukraine situation with Russia is beyond foolish. There is no good guy in that fracas, including the USA. By taking a side you're just taking the wrong side no matter which side you choose.
See... I like this guy. No position statement, no right or wrong. He's either keeping his opinions to himself (doubt it) or simply not deluding himself into thinking one side is righteous and the other is evil. He's just watching a fight and picked the guy in the red trunks instead of the guy in the blue trunks. I was hoping to see an all out slug fest which leaves both sides with their shit pushed in, crippled economically, infrastructure razed to the ground and their peoples utterly demoralized so that the USA and Europe could trot in from the north and west and the Japanese and the Chinese could trot in from the south and East and sieze all of the natural resources of both sides, install puppet governments and economically and politically punish them for 50 years while we put in a restricted breeding policy to try to repair all the damage that the Soviet regime's idiotic policies did to their gene pool.
I was at a car cruise a couple weeks ago and more than a few people had a Ukrainian flags on their cars. I mentioned to my left leaning brother that it blows my mind how fast some people will jump both feet into supporting some complicated foreign policy matter. He instantly responded with "Well that's how our capitalist system conditions people to go along what they want". How he managed to fit capitalism in there was amazing and didn't see any irony talking about "conditioning" when he fired off that response like he was the manchurian candidate. This is just my attempt to connect the topics in the thread. 
Carbon credits are what carries the rest, but you’re and engineer and never wrong, so I don’t know why I bother
What, have you pissed shares into teslas giant ponzi scheme or something? Reset your snarkometer and chill out.
I'll ask you this though, what kind of "car guy" uses the word shame when talking about Detroit muscle? Not any that I know of.
You still can't show a simple set of numbers to prove your claims.
Got it.
Moving on......
I totally appreciate what tesla has been able to do and I think most average people don't know or care about the mechanical art of classic cars. A Tesla is a very fine and practical home appliance but it will never be a classic car. I have a suppressed 300 norma mag with a schmidt and bender but I constantly resist the urge to build a flintlock. If I bought a plane, I would really want something with a radial engine. If I bought a motorcycle, I would want a harley even though a hayabusa would be faster. It's the experience that makes it fun , not just the performance. I really need to put my 64 C10 back together because daily driving a holley carb, V8, stick shift, rear wheel drive combo is mental therapy.
you can totally change there minds .

Knightsbridge was where the last of the Minis were made and JDC was me screwing up trying to type JDM Japanese Domestic Market, JDM. I have Mugen (fake, the real ones are over 2 grand) valve cover on it, The turbocharger and intercooler are both Garrett. IT has a flip-up fiberglass hood and the front and rear sub-frames are by MiniTec down in Georgia. I also put in a 3.4 final drive in the transaxle so I could use 1st gear and a cruise at a reasonable RPM. I still have to paint the car. I think I'm going to go with flat/satin black.
