'I still believe their product targets and outlook they've given in the past. Looking at it today we believe the demand outlook remains robust and unchanged,' said Joseph Dennison, portfolio manager at Zevenbergen. 'Historically, volatility has provided good entry points. Tesla still has loyal investors, including Zevenbergen Capital Investments in Seattle, which has owned the stock since the company's initial public offering. Tesla has said it had about 500,000 advance reservations from customers for the Model 3, but manufacturing bottlenecks since last July have delayed production and deliveries to customers, exacerbating the company's need for cash.įailure to meet targets and pressures on funding prompted Moody's downgrade last week, saying that Tesla was likely to raise more than $2 billion in new capital, partly to cover about $1.2 billion in convertible bonds due by March 2019. So far in 2018, the shares are down 19 percent, at a time when technology shares have suffered particularly as stock prices fall across the board. Tesla, founded by billionaire Elon Musk, declined to comment on production numbers for the Model 3, which are expected to be released this week He added said the electric car maker will soon produce more batteries at its Nevada Gigafactory than all other electric vehicle companies combined, including those in China. In June 2018, Elon Musk said it is 'extremely likely' Tesla will hit a weekly Model 3 production rate of 5,000 cars. In November 2017, it said it hoped to achieve a production rate of 5,000 per month by the end of the first quarter of 2018, pushing back what was originally a target for the end of 2017. Tesla said it delivered 26,150 vehicles total in the third quarter, a 4.5 per cent rise on the same period of 2016.īut the company added that 'production bottlenecks' had left it behind on its planned ramp-up for the Model 3. Tesla missed its production goal for 2017's third quarter, producing only 260 vehicles compared to an earlier estimate of 1,500.Īs a result, the company's shares fell 5.4 per cent in after hours trading on November 1. Tesla has repeatedly missed production goals for Model 3, meaning those who have put down a £712 ($1,000) deposit for one of the vehicles may still have to wait until the end of 2018 to get their hands on it. Tesla had struggled to meet the impressive demand for its vehicle, with a reported 500,000 pre-orders put in so far. The affordable £27,000 ($35,000) five-seat vehicle travels 215 miles (346km) on a single charge and accelerates from zero to 60mph (0-100kmh) in under six seconds.Īlthough the eco-friendly car is one of Tesla's more affordable models, those looking to buy the vehicle may be waiting months before they can get behind the wheel. Tesla's released its new Model 3 electric car in July 2017 with a batch of 30 vehicles sold exclusively to members of staff.
