[(Title)] Tesla Could Turn a Profit This Quarter, Some Analysts Say

Wall Street analysts have been, for the most part, leery of Tesla's assurance that it will post a profit this quarter. Elon Musk is starting to win at least some over.

对于特斯拉本季度会赢利的保证，华尔街分析师大多都持保留态度。

Gene Munster, a veteran securities analyst now at Loup Ventures, said on an interview on CNBC that based on increased production of Tesla's Model 3s, he expects the company to be profitable by September.

卢普风险投资公司(Loup Ventures)资深证券分析师吉恩·蒙斯特(Gene Munster)在接受CNBC3模型的增产采访时表示，预计该公司在9月前能盈利。

Munster's take followed another analyst, James Albertine of Consumer Edge Research, telling CNBC last week that he also expects the company to become profitable as early as this quarter. Albertine also cited Tesla's increased production.

蒙斯特(Munster)继另一位分析师、消费者边缘研究公司(ConsumessEdge Research)的詹姆斯·艾伯丁(James Albertine)上周告诉CNBC，他也预计公司最早将在本季度盈利。

Most analysts, however, remain skeptical. The 20 analysts surveyed by Thomson Reuters are forecasting a consensus loss of $1.11 a share. In the third quarter of 2017, Tesla reported a net loss of $2.92 a share.

不过，大多数分析师仍持怀疑态度，汤姆森-路透(调查的20名分析家预计，2017年第三季度，A股亏损1.11美元，特斯拉股价净亏损2.92美元。

In May, Musk predicted that Tesla would turn profitable in the third quarter — a prediction he reiterated at Tesla's shareholder meeting last month.  "It's really looking like we're going to have positive GAAP net income next quarter,"  he said.  "And we do not expect to raise any incremental debt or equity."

今年5月，马斯克预测特斯拉将在第三季度实现盈利 - 他在上个月特斯拉股东大会上重申这一预测。 “看起来我们下个季度的GAAP净收入肯定会很高，”他说。 “我们预计不会增加任何增量债务或股权。”

Musk also vowed to shareholders that Tesla would increase production of Model 3s to 5,000 vehicles a week. The company even erected a large tent on its Fremont site to expand housing new assembly line that could boost production of the vehicles.

马斯克还向股东保证，特斯拉将每周将生产3000辆Model，增加到5000辆，公司甚至在Fremont厂址上搭建了大型厂房，以扩大可促进车辆生产的新装配线。

"If they hit that [5,000] number, it's going to equate to 48,000 model 3s produced in the September quarter. That should get them to profitability, slightly profitable,"  Munster told CNBC.  

“如果他们达到了个数字（5,000）的话，这个数字相当于9月季度产生的48,000个Model 3s，这样就能获得盈利，尽管利润微乎其微，”Munster向CNBC表示，“

"It's not going to be wildly profitable in September, I just want to warn everyone, but… it moves them in the right direction."

在9月份它将不会获得巨额利润。我只想警告大家，但是，它正朝着正确的方向前进。

There remains some evidence that Tesla may fall short of Musk's ambitious goal. Last week, Reuters quoted several Tesla line workers as saying that the company is not producing enough Model 3s to meet projected goals.

一些证据表明，特斯拉可能达不到马斯克的宏伟目标，上周，路透社援引一些特斯拉线路的员工称，该公司生产的Model 3s不足以实现预期的目标。

At most, Reuters said, Tesla is capable of producing about 4,200 cars a week.

路透社表示，泰斯拉最接近每周能生产约4,200辆汽车。
