> I don't understand this argument. Not saying Tesla is Theranos, but Theranos ran on hope and dreams for 10 years.
Amazon ran on losses for many years and it played out in the end. By choosing what company you compare Tesla to, you already choose a particular narrative. It's worthless as an argument and if you have a reason for your belief, it's more useful to discuss that rather than arbitrary comparisons.

It's comments like this that demonstrate just how unprepared some people are going to be if Tesla fails. Brush up on your finance.
If you don't see the parallels between the companies, not sure what to tell you. But I'll mark this comment, because assuredly you'll say, "where were the signs!". Just like some other big name posters about Theranos.
Correct me if I'm wrong, but Amazon also didn't need the kind of large capital infusions that Tesla needs (in virtue of their industry and their pioneering efforts within it).
Amazon (NASDAQ:AMZN) issued $16B of bonds across seven tranches on Tuesday in the company's biggest bond deal on record. It was the fourth largest deal of 2017, and one of the 20 largest bond deals on record.
