    Tesla Revenue Grows but So Do Losses

      Telsa's revenue doubled in the first quarter of 2017, but net losses grew to $330m.

    In their recent shareholder update for 2017, Tesla reported strong Q1 revenues of $2.7 billion dollars, more than doubling performance of the same quarter last year and an improvement of $411m over the final quarter of 2016. However, losses also grew from $282m last year to $330m in 2017, or a per-share loss of $2.04.

    Tesla reports that most of the loss comes from capital expenditures for the Model-3 development, Gigafactory development, and acquisition related activity surrounding SolarCity. 

    Subtracting SolarCity revenues, Automotive related revenue is reported at $2.289 billion, up 123% year over year.  Vehicle margins excluding ZEV credits are at 27.8%. 

    Energy generation revenue is up significantly over Q4 2016 to $214m. 

    Currently, Tesla is sticking with an outlook of 61% to 71% growth in annual vehicle deliveries, however Tesla indicated they will revise this guidance in Q3 after Model-3 production begins in July.

      These were awesome engines, just needed a huge engine bay as any straight-line engine needs. I call BS on this, I feel that if you cannot respect the cost of taking care of your truck and to me abuse it by damaging it, then your just lazy and clearly have no idea about how to use tools properly. I have heavily used my trucks, SUVs and CARs and never babied them, but always kept them looking sharp. Yes, accidents happen and sometimes when one is tired you might put a scratch on it, but this truck has just been abused by someone that does not care. His statement of a Truck you're afraid to beat-up is no longer a truck is BS, you do not need to beat up a truck to still have it as a useful tool. A person who abuses their vehicles tells me a ton about their approach to how they work and live and they are just lazy and do not care. Do you really want a person like that working with you or doing work for you when they cannot take any pride in their own tools, makes one question if they would really take any pride in their job, products they do, etc.

      I'm saying that the retail store was removed from Pepboys. Old footprint: PepBoys:  Service bays + Retail auto parts and accessories (typically the retail area alone was bigger than an AutoZone) AutoZone: Retail auto parts and accessories New Footprint: PepBoys: Service bays only AutoZone: Retail auto parts only

      If PepBoys was replaced by either AutoZone or Advance Auto, you're saying a service shop(with a retail store (PepBoys)) was replaced by just retail stores? That's the only reason I was suggesting it may not have been AutoZone/Advance.

      Always liked those old Dodges...I learned to drive in the mid 80s in a '79 Dodge Power Wagon 4x4 short wide box pickup my Dad had.  Very numb steering--no on center feel at all, bouncy suspension, would stall on left turns.  Was very clean w/ like 25k miles..silver green inside and out.

      I'm not sure what you're asking. The private equity firm owns both PepBoys and one of those other two.  PepBoys does service, but they ALSO had basically an entire AutoZone and more inside. They had a much bigger and (IMHO) better selection than the other two.  The private equity firm closed out the retail parts & accessories side of PepBoys and made them all service only.  There were some PepBoys that were already like that, but most had a retail parts counter also.
