What is 'free cash flow'?
Free cash flow is the money a company has left after paying for its operating expenses and capital expenditures. A negative figure, like Tesla's $1.1 billion, means more cash went out than came in. It's a key indicator of a company's financial health and its ability to fund future growth or pay dividends.
