If the production reaches five thousand vehicles a week, Tesla will be profitable in the third quarter. In April, the company produced about 2.27 thousand Model 3 cars per week, but by the end of June their output will increase to the target of five thousand, Elon Musk promised.
In the first quarter of 2017, the loss of Tesla amounted to 330 million dollars, for the whole of last year its loss exceeded 1.4 billion dollars.

According to Bloomberg, at the moment Tesla is "burning" $ 6500 every minute. At the beginning of the article, there is even a special counter that shows how much money the company is losing while the user has the article open, and the figure increases very quickly. The last 5 quarters of the company showed negative financial results, losing huge amounts. If the same situation continues, Tesla can remain without money until the end of the year and will need additional financial resources.
Bloomberg writes that the situation in Tesla itself is incredible. On the one hand, no one so skillfully attracted as much investment as Elon Musk. He is fantastically spending all this money, having time to joke about bankruptcy of the company on his Twitter. Nevertheless, many investors trust Mask: the publication says that he is the person who literally "bet everything" on the company’s success, therefore he is maximally motivated.
