Nobody outside of Tesla knows Tesla's profit margins on their vehicles alone or their break-even point. That info is simply not publicly available. The numbers they talk about during the press conferences use non-standard accounting. The numbers they file with the SEC using standard accounting don't break out individual product lines: automotive, solar, battery storage, and financial services.
