Tesla Looks to Raise as Much as $2.3 Billion in Debt and EquityTesla is looking to raise as much as $2.3 billion through a bond sale and public offering of its shares, after a worse-than-expected quarter heightened concerns about the company’s cash on hand. Sorry.....the company cannot generate profits from cars....it's core business. I'll never understand the market cap and public valuation of Tesla. This is a firm with consistent cash flow problems, doing yet another capital raise. Their burn rate is through the roof, production figures are rarely if ever met, and profit has proven entirely elusive 🤷‍♂️ We MUST build a national high speed electric rail system to make our conversion to all electric transportation practical, linking every town in the USA, put everybody within 30 miles of a rail station.
