It is easy to explain when you consider that 2 car models are representing ~1.7M cars this year.

Their strategy is a little nutty and has basically required them to underprice their vehicles.

Any other mfg would cut back production to maintain margins.

Most non-Tesla auto manufacturers are taking a loss on their new EVs ATM as they try to optimize supply and recoup R&D costs.

Yeah, but I bet that changes once they get to ~400k per year. That isn't much different from Tesla's path.
