My brother-in-law keeps telling me that he’s never going to get a green car. He says that it isn’t that he dislikes environmentalism. He enjoys trees and the outdoors. He wants to help the planet, but he doesn’t want the bother of plugging in every night and worrying about running out of electricity in less than a hundred miles.

As a result, Tesla is amending its Q1 guidance to full profitability, both GAAP and non-GAAP.
