Tesla a second-quarter profit of $104 million today, marking its fourth consecutive profitable quarter, a first for the company. It’s a benchmark that many skeptics thought Tesla would never achieve, though as usual it comes with a tiny asterisk.

That asterisk would be the sale of regulatory credits, which totaled a record $428 million this quarter and helped push Tesla over the profitability line,, when Tesla sold a then-record $354 million in credits.

Tulsa, Oklahoma, and Austin, Texas, had been in consideration for that factory, which will make the Cybertruck and more Models Y. And both cities had for Tesla’s selection but now it appears .

Tesla said Austin, Texas, was its choice.
