SUMMARY
20 19 was a turning point for Tesla. We demonstrated strong organic
demand for Model 3, returned to GAAP profitability in 2H19 and
generated $1.1B of free cash flow for the year. We achieved strong cash
generation through persistent cost control across the business.
Our pace of execution has also improved significantly, as we have
incorporated many learnings from our experience launching Model 3 in
the United States. As a result, we were able to start Model 3 production
in Gigafactory Shanghai in less than 10 months from breaking ground
and have already begun the production ramp for Model Y in Fremont.
None of this would be possible without strong demand for our
products. For most of 2019, nearly all orders came from new buyers
that did not hold a prior reservation, demonstrating significant reach
beyond those who showed early interest. Amazingly, this was
accomplished without any spend on advertising. As more people drive
our cars and as the industry rapidly validates electrification, interest in
our products will continue to grow.
Higher volumes driven by Model Y and Gigafactory Shanghai, continued
improvements in operating leverage, and further cost efficiencies should
allow Tesla to ultimately reach an industry-leading operating margin.
