Tesla's earnings were also boosted by its sales of zero-emission-vehicle credits to other automakers, which generated $68 million in revenue for the quarter. The credit system was set up by the California state government to push automakers to produce environmentally friendly vehicles. Manufacturers of gasoline-powered vehicles can purchase the credits accrued by green-car producers like Tesla. So another company bilking taxpayers - that's not a real or "sustainable" profit. Quick. You need to tell investors....they are bidding up the stock $10 today.
