We are very close to achieving profitability, Musk tells Tesla employees

Elon Musk told Tesla employees that the company was on the cusp of making money, hours after he and the carmaker reached a settlement with the US. “We are very close to achiev-ing profitability and proving the naysayers wrong, but, to be certain, we must execute really well tomorrow (Sunday),” Musk mailed to staff. “If we go all out tomorrow, we will achieve an epic victory beyond all expectations.” Sunday marks the end of the third quarter, and Tesla has frantically pushed to boost deliveries before the period ends.
