I actually really don't like tesla as a company or elon as a ceo or person, but I'm pretty sure that's not true.

It is. Here's an article about their Q1 2023 revenue showing the same thing.

Edit: so they had one report of car sales AND energy projects outpacing the lowest amount of carbon credit income I've seen them get? Not really convincing me there..

Interesting. So the carbon credit business is growing and/or the car business is shrinking to the point that without the credits they aren't profitable again.

Tesla would be in the red were it not for carbon credits – something that hasn’t happened in the last two years.

Ok, so I misread that as being in the red hadn't happened for them in two years. Either way, they're a carbon credit and battery company that sometimes make shoddily built cars, not the other way around.

No disagreement there.
