Tesla: Catching up to 2019 goals

Tesla is expected to top 100,000 car deliveries in a quarter for the first time, said Dana Hull in Bloomberg.com. In an email to employees last week, CEO Elon Musk said the company “has a shot” at beating last quarter’s 95,000 deliveries. After a dismal first quarter plagued by logistical screwups, “a six-digit-delivery quarter” would put Tesla in position to reach the 360,000-to-400,000 range the company forecasted for 2019. However, “for perspective, General Motors sold about 110,000 Chevrolet Silverado pickups in the second quarter just in the U.S.”
