Addressing the Tesla ‘crack’
It seems the author has acknowledged an Accounting mistake regarding the overlooked $1.4 billion.
“I take full responsibility. After getting caught up in the details of Tesla’s Accounting last week, I need to clarify the supposed $1.4 billion discrepancy between capital investments and asset values.
While the issue of why a financially strong company has taken on new debt in the last two years remains, as does the concern over cash flow if car sales continue to decline, there might be a more straightforward explanation for Tesla’s balance-sheet imbalance.”

It seems like the writer is acknowledging their mistake regarding the $1.4 billion discrepancy in Tesla’s financials, which is an important step in providing clarity. It’s crucial in the world of finance and investing to admit errors and reassess conclusions based on new information.
That said, the concern about Tesla’s decision to raise new debt while having ample cash is still valid. It raises questions about their financial strategy and future cash flow, especially if sales are under pressure. Investors will want to keep an eye on how that cash balance evolves, as well as any implications it has for Tesla’s long-term sustainability. Understanding the reasons behind these moves will be critical for anyone analyzing Tesla’s financial health. Overall, transparency in these discussions is key, and it’s good to see the writer revisiting their earlier stance.
