Tesla lost over $400 million in the second quarter despite record sales, especially of its new Model 3.
This throws Tesla's plan to become profitable by selling a high volume of Model 3 cars into doubt — and that's been the company's plan for years.
At the beginning of this year, CEO Elon Musk said the company would be profitable going forward, now Tesla says it's going to try for profitability, "although continuous volume growth, capacity expansion and cash generation will remain the main focus."
If a record volume of sales won't push Tesla into profitability, it needs a new plan that will.
Tesla founder Elon Musk has launched tech startup Neuralink to build implants that connect human brains with computer interfaces via artificial intelligence.
