Margins on marginal production or product or production line is irrelevant. As it ignores overhead and R&D costs among others. Tesla as a whole had a negative $2b loss last year and has lost over $1.4 billion YTD.

SolarCity's last 10K had a negative $0.5 billion loss from cash from operations. It's positive overall cash was from raising capital (aka debt). Methinks you do not understand how to read a 10-K or 10-Q.
