put those who believe that for us thank you very much. electro comic a tesla lost another one billion dollars during the first quarter of this year the company has have trouble reaching its. production target for its mass market model three still burning through more conscious than its earnings but despite that c.e.o. elon musk's did little to ease investors' fears instead during a conference call he refused to answer and list questions calling them so dry and not school meanwhile customers interest doesn't appear to be waning there are no more than four hundred fifty thousand people on waiting lists for tesla. now let's bring in our financial correspondent in frankfurt but really is tesla in danger of going out of business. i think if you ask that directly that is because as you said it's burning cash at record amounts and the bill just keeps adding up

a must losing his grip on reality then how important is he as a person for tesla anyway. i think he's all important as a person he's like steve jobs at apple was people buy into his story and they believe him when he says that he can make a car that's at a reasonable price still for people who have a lot of money but at a lower price than previous cars that goes electrically and he says that is better than the competitions but you know what when he criticized when he cuts off analysts and says that's a childish that's a that's a stupid question that's sounds childish it's unprofessional and if he were a c.e.o. with a salary at another company he'd be out the door and a second with a remark like that that's damaging to business speaking about see you know as being the door how about german come a case of a kitchen up with a programs but if you can. i think they are catching up but technologically there are a one and presumably the german car makers are not losing as much on these vehicles
