Although Tesla reported a profit of $17 million on $713 million in revenue, their financials were reported using non-GAAP (Generally Accepted Accounting Principles) figures. Which means that my current checking account, according to non-GAAP figures, is probably somewhere in the high seven figures.
Using GAAP numbers, Tesla lost nearly $49.8 million, on revenues of $620 million. Despite the loss, Tesla delivered 6,457 units, and expects to sell 35,000 Model S units this year. Tesla also announced that their Model X SUV will be delayed again, until 2015.
But the bad news was interrupted today by a major development for Tesla. Panasonic, a major supplier of battery cells to Tesla, signed a letter of intent regarding their new "Gigafactory" that will build lithium-ion batteries somewhere in the Southwestern United States.
