Tesla Motors (TSLA-Q28.550.521.86%) may make pure electric cars, but it is valued very much like a hybrid. Sure, quarterly numbers – due in the coming weeks – hint at its ability to hit manufacturing targets. But Silicon Valley-style growth is central to the story.
Characteristically for young tech companies, Tesla burns through cash. In the coming months it will wind down its run of 2,500 blisteringly fast, Lotus-based Roadster cars and next year will start producing the more advanced but somewhat more sedate model S sedan, touted for production of 20,000 a year.
