That being said - latest reports I've seen show that Tesla only has around $1 billion in cash reserves. That is not a lot for a car company. Very little actually. They can blow through that in no time. So not sure where he is getting the "staggering" amount he wants to spend. There is talk of a stock offering to raise funds, maybe that's part of it.
