Elon has said the model 3 is a turning point for Tesla. Pretty much every car up until the model 3 has been a boutique car (expensive and not really accessible to the average buyer). The model 3 is a make or break into the realm of a mass produced automobile. I think Tesla will continue to lose money just because of the massive jump it takes to get from a small auto company to a large one. If the model 3 continues to sell like it is now I think they will be fine. The next car is already been decided to be a small SUV and that car will probably sell twice as many units as the model 3.
