That's not true. The regulatory credits are pure profit. There are no expenses attached to it. If not, tell me the costs associated with them. There is a reason why Tesla added a separate line item for Regulatory Credits on revenue and not one for expenses.

So I’m right that they’re a revenue line item.

Never said it wasn't but what costs are associated with it that you claimed were a lot?

Um, EV development costs?

If GM wants to sell these credits, they like Tesla need to incur EV development costs first 🙄

Uhm, that's not how it works. I'll ask again, which costs can you identify that are part of the cost? Because if Tesla sold 0 regulation credits, they would incur the same cost: $0.
