Tesla’s “production hell” may finally be ending.

The company reached its goal of manufacturing 5,000 Model 3 cars per week during the last week of June. After months of delays, malfunctioning assembly lines, and criticism from Wall Street, the milestone ostensibly puts the electric carmaker on the path to profit. Tesla has told investors it must produce at least 5,000 Model 3s per week for the model line to achieve profitability. Tesla repeated its assurance on July 2 that it would generate positive cash-flow and profit in the last two quarters of 2018. (It’s only reported two profitable quarters since going public in 2010.)
