I think some of this might be offset by the fact that this plan doesn't seem to focus on just cars. A solar product described in the first step of the plan could help fund the cars.

SolarCity is not exactly a success story[1]. The more likely scenario is Tesla continues to burn through even more money after purchasing it.

Solar offers even longer time to payoff/profit. It's a long term bet... even longer than Tesla's current profile IMHO.
