Nothing new - NKLA needs cash as it loses money on sales

I assume - ??????? - that with a strong definition of MARGINAL cost to build - that NKLA adds cash to the bottom line as it sells MORE trucks. (A strong - thin definition of Added Marginal cost - e.g. assume work force would not reduce so even labor is not counted - is what I have in mind. (How much did cost - cash expenditure REALLY go up for one more or two more trucks v the cash received)

All that said - the math is the math ---- and right now - with caution - NKLA needs to add BIG chain type customers and supply BIG chain type current customers with what they want in terms of more trucks. Sometimes marketing and sales and more trucks on the road --- even if "bought with loss" is right - especially if the true extra cash spent is less than the true cash received.

The bottom line ----- to me - Is it easier for NKLA to attract the capital it needs with more sales? Do more sales and data like the increase in CA help to raise private investment or ability to borrow. Or does the potential increase in paper loss hurt worse, That is where the rubber hits the road

A 10 Million Dollar Greater semi annual GAAP loss from selling say 50-100 more trucks - may be the price needed to get 400M of equity without massive destructive dilution
