特斯拉赚钱不靠卖车?

Tesla posted its first full year of net income in 2020 -- but not because of sales to its customers.

特斯拉在2020年公布了首个全年净利润报告,但这并不是来自面对客户的销售所得。

Eleven states require automakers sell a certain percentage of zero-emissions vehicles by 2025.

目前有11个州要求汽车制造商在2025年前销售一定比例的零排放汽车。

If they can't, the automakers have to buy regulatory credits from another automaker that meets those requirements -- such as Tesla, which exclusively sells electric cars.

如果它们做不到,它们就必须从其他符合这些要求的汽车制造商那里购买规定的量——比如专门销售电动汽车的特斯拉。

It's a lucrative business for Tesla -- bringing in $3.3 billion over the course of the last five years, nearly half of that in 2020 alone.

对特斯拉来说,这是一项利润丰厚的业务——在过去五年里,它带来了33亿美元的收入,仅2020年就接近其总收入的一半。

The $1.6 billion in regulatory credits it received last year far outweighed Tesla's net income of $721 million -- meaning Tesla would have otherwise posted a net loss in 2020.

去年,特斯拉获得了16亿美元的规定销售额,远远超过了其7.21亿美元的净利润,这意味着如果没有此项规定,特斯拉在2020年可能会出现亏损。

"These guys are losing money selling cars. They're making money selling credits. And the credits are going away," said Gordon Johnson of GLJ Research and one of the biggest bears on Tesla (TSLA) shares.

“这些人卖车是赔钱的。他们靠卖规定销量赚钱。GLJ研发公司的戈登·约翰逊说道,他是特斯拉股票最大的看跌者之一。

Tesla top executives concede the company can't count on that source of cash continuing.

特斯拉高管承认,公司不能指望这种现金来源继续存在。

"This is always an area that's extremely difficult for us to forecast," said Tesla's Chief Financial Officer Zachary Kirkhorn.

“对我们来说,这一直是一个极其难以预测的领域,”特斯拉首席财务官扎卡里·科克霍恩说。

"In the long term, regulatory credit sales will not be a material part of the business, and we don't plan the business around that. It's possible that for a handful of additional quarters, it remains strong. It's also possible that it's not."

“长期来看,规定销售将不会是业务的重要组成部分,我们不会围绕这一点来规划业务。在接下来的几个季度里,它可能会保持强劲。也有可能不会。”
