Off topic but why is the document written with painful amount of tracking? (By tracking I mean in the typography sense, i.e. letter spacing, not that the document is tracking you.) It almost seems like they don't want people to actually read the document.

#23The difference in the narrative versus the financial data is stark: Quarterly revenue has not shown any growth for nearly 2 years, despite introducing more models and expanding global deliveries. Their sales of regulatory credits this year is greater than all of the net income ever earned in their entire history.
They're investing aggressively in new factories and new product lines. If they wanted to show profits today they could give up building and expanding factories and stop entering new product categories. But that would be stupid.

#24Revenues down Year over Year, and yet their stock price is 8x. Profiability increased, but its market cap is larger than Toyota which has over 10x the revenues. This stock is truly one for /r/wallstreetbets.

Can you show me in the financial statements where this "aggressive investing" in factories is, and how it affects net profit? Why are they doing it if revenues are stagnant?

You realize their factory was shut down for much of this period, right? Comparing YOY quarterly figures here is very disingenuous.

#30Profit is all regulatory credits, actual auto sales flat to down, accounts receivable balance is now 1.4B or >20% of revenue, interest income is $8M (down -20%) even though global interest rates were cut to near 0 in Q2, R&D and service spending down despite dozens of projects the company claims to be working on.
