Tesla Inc. set a record for deliveries and production in the first quarter, beating analysts' estimates as Chief Executive Officer Elon Musk prepares to begin building the Model 3 in July.

The maker of electric cars and energy-storage devices shipped just over 25,000 vehicles in the year's first three months, Palo Alto, California-based Tesla said in a statement Sunday. That topped the average forecast of 24,200 from three analysts and should bolster confidence in Tesla's target of delivering as many as 50,000 autos in this year's first half.

"It's all about the Model 3 right now, but this is very good news," Ben Kallo, an analyst at Robert W. Baird & Co., said in an interview. "25,000 units is the best we could have thought, and people are looking at Model 3 for growth."

    Remember that this company installs over-the-air updates to 'their' cars as a matter of course. They tell you 'their' cars need the updates (just like windows updates) to keep them working and adding 'enhancements' (and don't be surprised when one of those enhancements takes your life). Anyone corrupt enough to tell people that, should be locked up in a mental institution, or prison.

    If anyone asks you about the 'Tesla car', tell them its only hype and is propaganda being used by the Jewish money (rats) to control and enslave us.

    All 'Tesla car' is, is marketing. It is built on marketing and one day the hype will die no matter how often they put out new 'models' (at which point they will bring out another 'Best Thing'). But 'Tesla car' is not about making a profit or saving the environment or anything. It is about enslavement and total control. It destroys the environment and is made-up. Just like Fiat Money.

    And 'Tesla car' stole the name of the great man Nikola Tesla, and is abusing it to get into people's minds and homes. We know who you are!

        I ... think ... maybe this is someone just deliberately trying to rile?

        AC so I can't, but please keep modding negative troll on garbage like this. Thoughtstreams don't need this kind of pollution.
