It's funny to see everyone praise Amazon for investing all of their money for a really long time, then in the next breath talk about how Tesla is doomed because it isn't profitable

Amazon definitely makes promises. They try pretty audacious stuff, it's not as hyped. Kiva Robotics in the factories. Amazon stores. Same day delivery. Drone delivery. Not to mention the original content push.
-
but to your original point, Amazon's financial approach and Tesla's couldn't be more different.
-
Their financial approaches are almost identical, just in different markets. 10 years ago people were saying the same things people are saying about Tesla today.
-
IIRC Amazon has always reinvested earnings to build out new offerings and invest in infrastructure. Tesla is taking future product pre-orders to fund previous product pre-orders which haven't been fulfilled. Different.

One is taking out a loan to build out revenue streams which is used to get more loans and it loops. One is taking out loans to fulfil loans.
