Quarterly reports are purposefully complex and misleading and articles on them interpret information quite differently. I can't read quarterly reports effectively, but I spend a lot of time reading different articles from different authors about a company and I try to detect BS arguments from good ones. The more a narrative (company is good or bad) is built on a lie or goes against human nature (greed), the bigger the risk. Tesla may be setting itself up to be the next VRX: hyped up cars that do not turn a profit, switching to mass production (M3), skipping testing phase, may lose govt incentives with Trump, low oil prices and the CEO is spreading himself thin into many fields... lots of risk for a 270$US stock.
