Some of the figures that I talked about came from the latest update on the blog here:

Tesla Motors - think

Again, perhaps I should clarify: I believe they will get the cars delivered to everyone who paid.. There will likely be issues with the vehicle but thats ok: its a totally new type of car and there will be some things that will inevitably need to be changed or fixed.

The issue is that with their current production goals and revenue model it just doesnt look like they are going to make *any* money. I understand the goal was for the tesla to be the marquee car and the next one would be the money maker but the issue is that they have taken so long to get to delivery that they have lost their technological lead which was the one thing that they really had going for them.
