Tesla still isn't making a profit and it spent a sizeable fortune to ramp up Model 3 production in the first quarter (Q1) but it did come out with a smaller loss (US$710m) than most expected. Chief Executive Elon Musk was keen to kick off the analyst earnings call with a deep dive on manufacturing advances but his abrupt refusal to answer certain questions from the investment community sent shares falling to their lowest level in a month.
