But is this reason to panic? No, the growth is still good at.

Tesla has (as usual) after trading hours are over results 2014 will be announced. Last year, in Palo Alto a little as 35,000 cars produced (34.526), for 2015 expected Tesla that this number is less than 55.000 true. In the fourth quarter had a record number of 11.627 Model S’and of the band. The turnover increased by 60%, from $2 billion to $3.2 billion.

USA is pulling the cart

Its home market is still by far the most important for Tesla, 55% of the sales in the USA achieved. Europe (30%) and Asia (15%) share the rest. The net loss came in 2014 from $294 million, significantly more than previously, but there is also considerable investment at this time.

In Q3 of 2015, we expect the vleugeldeurtastische Model X, which is a few thousand dollars more expensive than the Model S, while also pressure on the smaller Model 3 are being worked on. In addition, the preparations of the Gigafactory in Nevada is in full swing.

China is a thorny issue

China is a market where the current results for Tesla downright disappointing. In January 2015, despite major investments in the laadinfra – just 120 sales realised, generous, under the sales target. Insiders indicate that CEO Elon Musk a lot of leather is drawn against its agents in China, and that there will be heads rolling if not better results.

The share of Tesla, that in January, a little bit got down to under $200, closed yesterday at $212,80. As soon as the Us stock markets this afternoon at 16:00 hours open we will see how to shareholders the results of the brand appreciate.
