Indeed, at that point in Telsa's past it was loosing more and more money each year.

From this article the chart indicates that they were burning through money at a prodigious rate. They were up to $14billion in debt and loosing about a $1billion per quarter!

Even now they are at least returning a profit, but still smaller than the losses they were making two or three years ago.
