According to <em>Bloomberg</em>, <a href="http://www.autoblog.com/tesla/">Tesla</a> actually earned money last week. CEO <a href="http://www.autoblog.com/tag/elon musk/">Elon Musk</a> sent out a message on Twitter saying his company was "narrowly cash positive." That's big news for a company that hasn't turned a quarterly profit as of yet. Tesla is currently in the middle of stepping up production for its <a href="http://www.autoblog.com/tesla/model s/">Model S</a> sedan, and has announced the vehicle's MSRP will jump by $2,500, presumably to help fund that expansion.<br />
<br />
So far, Tesla says it <strike>has built</strike> will build around 20,000 Model S units at its California production facility next year, though analysts say the ability to repeatedly generate a positive cash flow would go a long way toward the company's evolution into a "sustainable operating entry." So far, the Model S has garnered substantive praise, earning the <a href="http://www.autoblog.com/2012/11/12/2013-motor-trend-car-of-the-year-tesla-model-s/"><em>Motor Trend</em> Car of the Year Award</a> among others. Tesla shares are up 19 percent this year over the same time period in 2011.<p style="padding:5px;background:#ddd;border:1px solid #ccc;clear:both;"><a href="http://www.autoblog.com/2012/12/05/musk-reports-positive-cash-flow-for-tesla-last-week/">Musk reports positive cash flow for Tesla last week</a> originally appeared on <a href="http://www.autoblog.com">Autoblog</a> on Wed, 05 Dec 2012 15:59:00 EST.
