Explain Amazon circa 2000.


There is a big difference between not being profitable as a business by either reinvesting revenue or using loss leaders to grow market share and losing money on every single product you sell.


It's been part of Tesla's business model to progressively build cheaper products in progressively larger quantities.

Also, Tesla is still building the world's largest battery factory. "Reinvesting revenue into capital improvements" seems to parallel Amazon's early-2000s growth fairly well.
