Breitbart News revealed Tuesday revealed that Tesla was in a working capital crisis in the first quarter of 2016, and likely used pre-orders to rescue its financial position. Tesla loses $19,810 on each car it sells, and hemorrhages $51,344 in negative cash flow on each vehicle at the start of the year. Tesla's annual report stated, "Sources of cash are predominately from our deliveries of vehicles, as well as customer deposits, sales of regulatory credits, proceeds from financing activities." Tesla's "biggest source of cash" has been those customer deposits.
