Why is this not profitable for Tesla? The cars were bought at full consumer prices and Tesla has very good unit margin.

In 2012 Elon predicted 500k vehicles in 2020 and he was spot on. So lets see the 2020 prediction for 2030.

I think this is profitable, but my post was about that the profit goes far beyond the money earned in this contract. Perhaps I shouldn't have used double negation :)

Probably not your fault, my dyslexia means sometimes I don't understand what I read. I think I missed the 'just'.
