Tesla wasn't profitable for many years and only recently have they gotten consistently profitable. EV tech and supply chains are still in their infancy, but as more and more manufacturers make compelling EVs, costs will drop. The 2020s will be very exciting affer this rough patch caused by inflationary supply issues...2023 is when things should start turning around, slowly but surely, and in 2024 we should see not only a return to pricing we were used to before these last 2yrs, but also a way more competitive EV market.
