That seems a bit contradictory, doesn’t it? Maybe that is because marketing has little to do with profit. And market sentiment was always a little extreme.

In the second quarter of 2015, produced Tesla 12.807 cars, more than ever before, and delivered the 11.532 vehicles. A small comment on this the good news is that the forecast for 2015 has been adjusted from ‘55.000’ to ’50-55.000 pieces’. Also grew the loss, this was $61 million on sales of $1.2 billion. In response, she clapped the share price on the Nasdaq 7% down.

Model X

Currently roles only Model S’and of the band, but soon as should also the Model X SUV to be added. Amongst analysts is, however, the feeling that Tesla the model is not according to the original timing on the can market, and since the Model X on the same line is being constructed as the Model’s work, and any delays directly in the production. Also the planned release of the Model 3 in 2017 seems to be on the positive side. But perhaps this is zwartkijkerij, Tesla shows already next month the first Model X’s to provide.

However: in the future cars will no longer be the only focus of the company. Recently presented Tesla a thuisbatterij, and with the construction of the Gigafactory in Nevada (with Panasonic) move an important step the largest batterijenleverancier in the world. Big chance that cars in the future afterthought for Elon Musk and his minions.

For what concerns the genomede extreme market sentiment was: sometimes the against, but the early loafers have therefore a maximum of reaping the benefits: the course lap in a short time of a little under 30 USD up to around 290 USD. Yesterday, Tesla at $270, still a plus in the day trading, after earlier in the day to $254 dropped.
