Ultimately it is a semantic issue. What matters is that Tesla is in its growth phase and is thus investing all its would-be profits into growth expenses, like SuperChargers and the GigaFactory.
Good point. I will not argue that Tesla is a speculative equity play, that will not be profitable for a number of years. Is it a good investment? Not for me, but probably is fine for someone younger.
I do take exception to dumb asses who accuse me of being a liar when I in turn provide direct proof and quotes to the contrary.
