Don't they have the second generation loss leader in production now, though? They still have plenty of time to not make money making cars.

The Model S is not in production yet, but it was in development long before production ended on the Roadster. Even GM has to shut down production of one model to switch over the line to produce something else. The difference is size: Tesla is so small they can't afford to do everything at once and make the switch in two weeks, like GM does. I'm sure this is in their business plan, and since they're a public company this is all available if you care to do the research.
