According to Bloomberg, Tesla actually earned money last week. CEO [Elon Musk](http://www.autoblog.com/tag/elon musk/) sent out a message on Twitter saying his company was “narrowly cash positive.” That’s big news for a company that hasn’t turned a quarterly profit as of yet. Tesla is currently in the middle of stepping up production for its [Model S](http://www.autoblog.com/tesla/model s/) sedan, and has announced the vehicle’s MSRP will jump by $2,500, presumably to help fund that expansion.
So far, Tesla says it has built around 20,000 Model S units at its California production facility, though analysts say the ability to repeatedly generate a positive cash flow would go a long way toward the company’s evolution into a “sustainable operating entry.” So far, the Model S has garnered substantive praise, earning the Motor Trend Car of the Year Award](http://www.autoblog.com/2012/11/12/2013-motor-trend-car-of-the-year-tesla-model-s/) among others. Tesla shares are up 19 percent this year over the same time period in 2011.Musk reports positive cash flow for Tesla last week originally appeared on Autoblog on Wed, 05 Dec 2012 15:59:00 EST.
